The Squat

The squat targets the quadriceps. It also hits the glutes, hip adductors (inner thigh), and calves. There are many types of squats, but we are going to talk about the at the squat. Well, start with bar placement: The bar should rest below the top of your shoulder, at the bottom of the traps. You head should be up and you should be looking forward. This should be with shoulders back and chest out. As far as the stance goes, each person has to find a stance with which they feel comfortable. Your feet should be pointed out while placing most of your weight on your heels.
