- Begin with the barbell across the front side of your shoulders
- Place your fingertips (or use straps) under the barbell just outside of your shoulders and drive your elbows up
- Keeping your chest up, eyes forward and core tight, bend at your hips and knees to lower into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground
- Straighten your hips and knees to drive up to the starting position

Barbell Front Squat

- Using a leg press machine, sit down on the machine and place your legs on the platform directly in front of you at a medium shoulder width foot stance
- Lower the safety bars holding the weighted platform in place and press the platform all the way up until your legs are extended in front of you (Tip: Make sure that you do not fully lock your knees during this exercise)
- Your torso and the legs should make a 90-degree angle
- Inhale, slowly lower the platform until your upper and lower legs make a 90-degree angle
- Pushing mainly with the heels of your feet and using the quadriceps, extend your legs, pressing the platform back to the starting position as you exhale
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and ensure to lock the safety pins properly once you are done

Leg Press - Low Narrow Stance

- Find yourself a step, box, bench or any other contraption that you can rest a foot on, it needs to be about knee height
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand
- Get into a forward lunge position with torso upright, core braced and hips square to your body, with your back foot elevated on the bench
- Your leading leg should just under 2ft or so in front of bench 
- Lower until your front thigh is almost horizontal, keeping your knee in line with your foot (Don't let your front knee travel beyond your toes)
- Drive up through your front heel back to the starting position
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

Dumbbell Bulgarian Split Squat

- Find yourself a step, box, bench or any other contraption that you can rest a foot on, it needs to be about knee height

- Take a deep breath and extend your legs as you flex your quadriceps
- Pause at full contraction
- Slowly lower your feet back to the starting position

Leg Extension

- Grab a weighted plate, dumbbells, or squat wedge
- Hold a dumbbell in goblet position
- Place your heels on the plate, or object of your choice, and your toes on the ground
- With control, engage your core and glutes, maintaining an upright posture
- Keeping your weight evenly distributed throughout your feet, inhale, and as you begin to lower down into a squat, sit your hips backward like you were going to sit on a chair
- Try to get your hips below your knees but don’t force it, and remember to keep your torso vertical and your spine straight
