A Kinesiological Analysis of the 'Barbell Squat'

This exercise is done with a barbell and a incline bench (“Exercises”). The way to do this exercise is to lie down faced up on an incline bench. The exerciser grips the bar with a medium-width grip and lifts the bar off of the rack (“Exercises”). the exerciser then holds the bar straight over his or her head, and keeps the arms locked. This is the starting position of the exercise. Next the exerciser inhales slowly while moving the bar slowly down toward the upper chest (“Exercises”). After a slight pause, the exerciser pushes the bar back to the starting position while exhaling and the arms should be locked. Before the exerciser brings the bar back down again the exerciser squeeze the chest for a second. The exerciser repeats the process for the desired number of repetitions. When the exerciser is finished with the exercise the bar should be placed back on the rack (“Exercises”).
