Safety Squats



Safety Squats Starting Position

  1. Rest the pads of the safety squat bar on your trapezius muscles, and lift the safety squat bar off the squatting holders.

  2. Your feet should be parallel and shoulder-width apart, with knees slightly bent.

  3. Keep the safety squat bar steady on your shoulders and place your hands on the rack handles.

Safety Squats Exercise Technique

  • Keep your hands on the rack handles throughout the entire movement, slowly lower your glutes toward the floor by bending your knees.

  • When an approximate angle of 90-degrees is reached, push upward with your quadriceps muscles, allowing them maximal muscular activation.

  • Repeat until the number of desired repetitions is completed.
