A squat with the barbell held behind your legs at arm's length. The forward-shifted load intensely targets the quads through a natural heel-raised movement pattern.
Form tips
Hold the barbell behind your legs with an overhand grip, heels together or slightly elevated.
Squat down keeping your chest tall and the bar tracking close to your calves.
Drive through your heels — this is one of the most quad-dominant barbell exercises you can do.
