Barbell Elevated Heel Squat

Place your heels on small weight plates or a wedge and position a barbell across your upper back, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, then bend your knees and hips to lower into a squat while keeping your chest upright. Descend until your thighs are parallel or lower, then push through your feet to return to standing in a controlled motion.
