Barbell Squat

Brandon Schwartz • Aug 20, 2019

  • Barbell front squats – targets more of the quads
  • Barbell back squats – targets more of the glutes/hamstrings
  • Barbell overhead squat – targets the upper body more than a standard barbell squat
BENEFITS:
  • Build your quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves
  • Strengthen your core and back
  • Improves your balance
  • Increases mobility
  • Supports healthy posture
  • There are a TON of variations to target different muscle groups and reach different goals!
TIPS:
  • Warm up! Do some dynamic stretching and mobility movements to warm up your body and prevent injury
  • Wear flat shoes
    • This will allow you to push through your heels than your toes. Vans or converse will do the job, but there are also some great squatting shoes on the market
  • Tighten your core to un-rack the barbell
  • Right before starting the squat, take a deep breath
  • Initiate the movement by pushing your hips back, keeping your chest up and descending with your hip crease past your knee crease
  • Exhale as you extend your legs back to standing position
