Back Squat (hold dumbbells on shoulders if you don’t have a barbell) 

Position your feet shoulder width with your toes pointed slight outward, doing this will help force your knees out. You never want your knees to be caving in at any time. Sit back into your heels as you squat down. Brace your core and keep your chest up with your chin tucked, this will help keep your spine in aline and keep your back from arching. When placing the bar on your back you want to put it across your traps and shoulders, making sure you are in the center of the bar with your hands evenly placed on each side.

Bent Over Row (barbell or dumbbells) 

Start by standing with you feet close together, bent over at a 45 degree angle with a slight bend in your knees. Holding the barbell with an underhand grip, both your palms facing away from you. It’s important to keep your back straight and you chin tucked down towards your chest to avoid arching your lower back. Pull the barbell up towards your hips and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Return back down very slow and controlled, you lead the barbell don’t let it pull you.

Slowly lower the bar down to your chest and push the bar above your head making sure to get your arms all the way straight. The bar should be in your palms pushing straight up.
