Yoked Bar Squat

A Yoked Bar Squat is a safety-enhanced squat exercise where a harness or yoke connects a pair of adjustable resistance bands or straps to a barbell. As you squat down, the bands provide resistance that encourages proper form and helps you control the movement. If you struggle or need to stop, the bands gently support you, reducing the risk of injury. This setup also allows for consistent resistance throughout the movement, making it effective for building strength and improving technique safely, especially for those training alone or recovering from injury.
