Standing behind a loaded barbell on the floor.

Place your feet wide apart with feet facing slightly outward (10 to 2 position).

Squat down and grab the bar with a narrow grip.

Lift the bar up whilst trying to keep your heels on the floor and your knees above your ankle.

Stand up keeping most of your weight through your heels.

Make sure that your knees do not pass in front of your toes as you go up or sit back down.

Repeat as prescribed.

(Please remember that they are multiple ways of doing a Sumo squat but we are a physio clinic and promote safe handling when taking patients through their injury recovery and we feel that technique is the safest for most of our patients)
