The most important thing as a beginner is to get the technique down. You need to make sure you have a stable foundation before you start thinking about going heavy, so practise with light weights first. Done properly, these moves are very beneficial, but injuries start to happen when you load with bad form.
The back squat
A back squat is when you are under a barbell loaded with weights and you are squatting to depth – this means that the hip joint is parallel or below the knee joint – and you drive up from the squat.
