Before you hit the iron, master the basics. The bodyweight squat lays the foundation for leg day. Follow these steps for proper form:

1. Stand with feet slightly wider than hips.
2. Keep chest lifted and core engaged.
3. Hinge hips back and squat down, ensuring knees align with toes.
4. At the squat’s lowest point, thighs should be parallel or lower, and elbows between knees.
5. Drive back up through heels, engaging glutes at the top. Repeat.
