The barbell siff squat develops strength throughout the entire lower body. This exercise improves balance, stability, and coordination due to nature of the foot positioning.
Instructions
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place a barbell on your upper back with an overhand grip. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and tighten your abs. Rise up onto the balls of your feet.
Like a regular squat, drop your hips first, then bend your knees to about 90 degrees. Stay on the balls of your feet throughout the exercise.
Pause for one second, then return to the starting position, pushing up through the balls of your feet.
Trainer’s Tips
Do not allow your knees to collapse inwards. Press your knees out during the movement.
