Engage your core and ensure your body is stable before initiating the squat. 3. Lower your body into a squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping the barbell balanced overhead. 4. Keep your chest up and back straight, ensuring your knees track over your toes throughout the movement. 5. Press through your heels to return to the starting position, maintaining control of the barbell overhead.",
