Hips Back
As opposed to what we have talked about with the front squat - hips down - with the back squat, think hips back. Due to the different loading position of the back squat it requires the hips to be farther back to keep the weight of the middle of your foot. This will also bring more of the posterior chain into the movement and allow you to lift more weight than in the front squat.

Be careful putting the bar behind the back with anyone who doesn’t understand how to bail. Not that anyone should be bailing here, but any time we do backsquats, it’s important to take the safety considerations into account. BLUE and PURPLE should build to a heavy set, all other LEVELs should build too, but only to a moderate weight that allows for perfect technique.
