Exercise Description

The one leg barbell squat builds single-leg strength and fixes muscle imbalances. It targets your quads hard while improving balance and core stability.

How To

1. Set up a barbell on your upper back like a regular back squat 2. Lift one foot off the ground and extend it forward for the one leg barbell squat position 3. Lower down on your standing leg, keeping your chest up and core tight 4. Descend until your thigh is parallel to the floor, maintaining balance throughout the one leg barbell squat 5. Push through your heel to return to the starting position

Form Tips

• Keep your core super tight during the one leg barbell squat to maintain balance • Don't let your knee cave inward - track it over your toes • Start with bodyweight before adding the barbell to master the one leg barbell squat movement • Keep your chest up and back straight throughout the entire movement

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight too soon in the one leg barbell squat before mastering balance • Letting the knee collapse inward instead of tracking over the toes • Rushing through the movement instead of controlling the one leg barbell squat descent
