Frames were checked by a professional reviewer for movement; follow the written steps and qualified coaching. The image does not depict a real physique or training record.
Steps
- 01
Stand with the feet shoulder-width or slightly wider, toes turned slightly out, arms raised in front or crossed on the chest.
- 02
Inhale and descend by bending the hips and knees together; the knees track over the toes and the back stays flat.
- 03
Descend until the thighs are about parallel to the floor, or to the lowest point in your comfortable range; the heels stay down.
- 04
Drive through the whole foot to stand back up and exhale; do not lock the knees at the top.
Common mistakes
- Knees collapsing inward (knee valgus).
- Heels lifting, with the weight shifting onto the balls of the feet.
- Rounding the lower back and driving with the back instead of the legs.
Before logging, know the load basis
This exercise is logged as:
The log page labels the basis next to the input. Different bases are never compared directly or merged into one personal best.
Substitutions
Reviewed and published general substitutions. Use one of these when the station is taken, the equipment is missing, or the movement does not feel right.

When it applies: Use when no dumbbells are available. Bodyweight only — control the effort with reps and tempo. (AI-assisted translation, pending review)
Different load basis — re-confirm the weight instead of converting it.
Each substitution is signed off by a reviewer. Program-specific substitutions are offered in the training page instead.
