The Proper Way to Do Squats
If the is one exercise that does more for your body in terms of building muscle, adding strength, producing more testosterone, and more, it would have to be the squat. Even with all of the benefits associated with doing squats, you need to be cautious because there is the potential to injure yourself if you do them improperly.
I see so many newcomers loading up the weight bar with weights, and then performing the exercise with horrible form. My back just hurts watching them. If you haven't had the opportunity to master the squat, then it is important that you start small, and master the basic form before you start adding weight. I know how tempting it can be to just skip this step and jump right into adding all kinds of weight, but if you don't have the proper form down, it is really easy to hurt yourself.
Here are a couple of tips to make sure you are performing the exercise properly.
Once your thighs are parallel to the ground and your weight is on your heels, using your legs you want to power yourself up so that you are almost standing straight up, but with a slight bend in the knees.
It may take some time before you become unconsciously competent with this exercise, but once you do, you will notice amazing results. It is worth investing the time needed to master the squat as this single exercise will do more for your body than any other exercise.
