Overview

The barbell squat on knees is an exercise that targets the quads. It is performed by sitting on your heels with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. You then hold a barbell across your shoulders and slowly stand up, keeping your back straight and your core engaged. As you stand up, your quads will contract to lift the weight. You then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position. This exercise can be performed for multiple sets and repetitions.
