High Bar and Low Bar Squat

The best exercise I usually do with the high bar in the gym is the progressive weighted squat. It is as basic as performing squats with your legs shoulder-width apart but with a certain weight on the bar and resting on the back of your neck.

 

To increase the level of difficulty you just have to raise your arms when stretching. I usually do 3 sets of 12 repetitions maximum and not with too much weight.

 

 

One of the common mistakes that my trainers have passed on to me is that it is not necessary to fully elevate the arms when performing the arm stretch to avoid excessive tension on the forearms.
