Its essential that you aim to keep your feet pointing out to your sides, keeping the direction of your knees as you lower, in the same direction as your toes.
Aim to hold the weight with a wide grip, up over your shoulders, keeping the weight central to your body line, to maximize the effectiveness for your quadriceps muscles.
Avoid letting your knees go pass your toes, or your buttocks go lower than your knees, as this will increase the pressure on your quadriceps, and can result in injury.
On your upward movement, focus on clenching your gluts during the lift, and maintaining a straight back.
