Barbell Bench Squat

A compound lower-body exercise where you perform a squat with a barbell placed across your upper back similar to a traditional back squat, but positioned in front of a bench. Lower yourself in a controlled manner until your hips lightly touch the bench, then drive through your heels to return to standing. This variation helps reinforce proper squat depth and balance while building leg strength, stability, and muscle coordination.
