• No Matter Which Variation You Perform, .

7

• Stick With The Following Tips To Ensure Your
  Squats Are Safe And Effective.

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
  its imperative that you maintain the same angle
  for both feet.
• Different angles can place uneven load on one
  knee not good

9
Knee Position

• When lowering, your knees shouldnt 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.

10
Lifting That Bar

• Rather than trying to lift the bar, focus instead
  on pushing your legs down into the ground.
• Youll 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.

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.

12
Squat Depth

• Theres been endless discussions on just how deep
  you should squat with no common agreement ad
  probably never will be.
• My advice?, dont stick to just one depth, vary
  the depth of your squats regularly.

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.
• Im sure youll be pleasantly surprised at the
  progress you make not just with your legs but
  with all aspects of your training.
