Variation 2: Barbell Back Squat
Equipment:
Barbell
Why this Variation?
This is the most stable loaded version of this movement with the weight on your back to help you balance and keep core engaged throughout the movement. This means you should be able to generate the most force for this movement (heaviest weights) outside of using machines. Use this variation in strength or max strength phases, and it can also be stacked with an unstable movement before or after for more functional strength or an explosive movement afterwards for power.
