Back Squat: 5-5-5-5-5

Five sets of five reps. You can either choose one weight for all sets or increase the weight every set.

Form notes:

Choose either a high bar or low bar position.

Hips must fall below the knees at the bottom of the squat.

Use your core to keep you back rigid at all times.

Drive out of the bottom of the squat and try to accelerate the bar all the way through the movement.
