WHY SQUAT?

The Squat has deservedly earned the

title, ‘King of Exercises’.

No other exercise hits the muscle harder

than a solid set of squats.

No other single exercise can get the

lungs and heart racing like the squat.

No other single exercise can stimulate

growth like the squat.


If You’re Not Squatting

Then It’s Time You

started!


SQUAT VARIATIONS

The squat movement itself is pretty

straightforward and can be performed

with several variations to produce

differing results.

These squat variations include, front

squat, hack squats, dumbbell squats,

sumo squats and box squats.


No Matter Which Variation

You Perform, ….


… Stick With The

Following Tips To Ensure

Your Squats Are Safe

And Effective.


FEET POSITION

Ensure your feet point either directly ahead of you or slightly outwards.

Never point your feet inwards.

An inward turn can place disproportional stress on your knees.

Whatever foot angle you find most comfortable it’s imperative that you maintain the same angle for both feet.

Different angles can place uneven load on one knee – not good


KNEE POSITION

When lowering, your knees shouldn’t extend ahead any further than the end of your toes.

Over extending can cause extra stress on the knee joints.

Ensure that your knees remain vertically in line with your feet, not jutting out to the left or right.

Having your knees ‘out of line’ with your feet can again, can place extra stress on your knee joints.


LIFTING THAT BAR

Rather than trying to lift the bar, focus

instead on ‘pushing’ your legs down into

the ground.

You’ll find this actually makes the lift

‘seem’ easier.

This approach also helps you maintain

proper form with a straight back by

thinking about your legs ‘pushing’ rather

than your body ‘lifting’.


KEEP A STRAIGHT BACK

Ensure your back remains at a constant

angle to your body during the squat.

You want the power to come from your

quads (and hip flexors) not your back.

Altering the angle places extra load on

the lower back.


SQUAT DEPTH

There’s been endless discussions on

just how deep you should squat with no

common agreement ad probably never

will be.

My advice?, don’t stick to just one depth,

vary the depth of your squats regularly.


CONCLUSION

The squat is the #1 exercise not just for

legs but for complete body conditioning.

I highly recommend you include squats

in your routine, once per week is

optimal.

I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised at

the progress you make not just with your

legs but with all aspects of your training.
