Exercise
Barbell front chest squat
Barbell front chest squat is a moderate exercise. It trains glutes.
Detailed explanation
Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. Hold the barbell in front of your chest with your hands shoulder-width apart, elbows pointing forward. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your body down into a squat position, pushing your hips back and bending your knees.
Lower until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
