Place one end of a barbell in a corner, or use a gym’s landmine machine (it’ll look like a barbell attached to an anchor on the floor). Stand facing the end of the barbell and grasp it with your hands cupped, fingers interlocked (a). Keeping your chest lifted, bend at your hips and knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor (b). Press through your heels to return to standing (c). (That’s a squat.) Next, hinge forward at your hips to push your butt back as you lower your torso and the barbell toward the floor (d). Squeeze your glutes to return to start. (That’s a deadlift.) One rep is one squat and one deadlift.
