Muscles Used	Primary: gluteus maximus and minimus. Secondary: quadriceps, and hamstrings.
Starting Position	Standing with you feet shoulder width apart and your feet straight ahead. Your hands should be across your chest, and your head up and looking forward.
Description	Lower yourself on a 10 count. Then return to the starting position.
Spotting	The spotter should stand behind the lifter. Place your forearms in the armpits of the lifter.
Points To Emphasize	1. The training partner may have to help the lifter recover to the starting position until the lifter develops enough strength to perform 15 to 20 repetitions. 2. Don't lock out the knees.
