The squat, like the push-up, belongs to absolutely basic exercises. But it is primarily a natural movement, the imperfect execution of which acts as a quick indicator that something is wrong with the body. At the same time, you can harm yourself or cause injury in the long term with incorrect squatting technique.

Whether it's simple squats without weight that you can do anytime, anywhere, more demanding exercises with equipment, or even competitive weightlifting, you'll learn how to move forward with optimal mastery of this basic exercise. Chasing performance regardless of the body's response is short-sighted. As the Squat Bible says, first you have to move better in order to move more.

American physiotherapist and trainer Aaron Horschig has therefore prepared a set of sophisticated techniques and exercises, thanks to which you can more easily reveal your weaknesses and get rid of physical limitations not only when squatting. The author also debunks myths about squatting that have been rooted among athletes and coaches for decades.

Go for it: "Squatkins!"
