  3. 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. www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  4. If You’re Not Squatting Then It’s Time You started! www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  5. SquatVariations • 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. www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  6. No Matter Which Variation You Perform, …. www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  7. … Stick With The Following Tips To Ensure Your Squats Are Safe And Effective. www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  8. 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 www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  9. 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. www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  10. 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’. www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  11. 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. www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  12. 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. www.Get-Big-Fast.org

  13. 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. www.Get-Big-Fast.org
