Barbell Tap Pause Squat
Begin by standing in front of a sturdy box or bench that is about knee-height, holding a barbell across your upper back and shoulders, using an overhand grip. Sit back and lower your body down until your glutes tap the top of the box, keeping your back straight and your core engaged. Push through your heels to extend your hips and stand up, bringing your body back to the starting position.
