Exercise Description

The narrow stance high bar squat targets your quads harder than regular squats. It builds powerful leg strength and helps fix muscle imbalances.

How To

1. Set the barbell high on your traps and step back from the rack with feet closer than shoulder-width apart. 2. Keep your chest up and core tight as you begin the narrow stance high bar squat movement. 3. Lower down by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, keeping your weight on your heels. 4. Descend until your hip crease is just below your knees while maintaining a straight back. 5. Drive through your heels and push the floor away to return to starting position, completing the narrow stance high bar squat.

Form Tips

• Keep your knees tracking over your toes throughout the narrow stance high bar squat movement • Maintain a neutral spine and avoid rounding your back during the descent • Focus on driving through your heels rather than coming up on your toes • Control the narrow stance high bar squat tempo - don't rush the movement

Common Mistakes

• Letting knees cave inward during the narrow stance high bar squat, which can cause injury • Leaning too far forward and losing the upright torso position • Not going deep enough in the narrow stance high bar squat, cutting the range of motion short
