Here are the key points to remember after watching the video:

1) Grab the bar at slightly wider grip than normal.

2) Place the bar under your traps and above your rear delts. Allow your elbows to flare some in order to create a shelf to support the bar. Keep your upper back tight.

3) Drop into the squat with your hip flexors and bring your elbows down during the descent.

4) Lower back should remain stable and not rounded.
