  • i think you need to review the video and look a little closer.

  • i'm not really sure what you're looking at as it is quite clear the heels never come up. also, if you really pushed your heels down you'd feel it in your hams/glutes. the quads have little to do with the proper execution of the squat.

  • sure..that's the proper form...it takes flexibility at the hip and strength in the lower back to maintain the proper position. as a matter of fact, it's easier to keep your knees from coming forward when you get to the proper depth.

  • @starmoon937 a body builder told me it's the best excercise you can do, will help you with a full body workout and weight loss also.

  • why are you screaming dude?

  • Thanks Sir, I have been doing 'beginner' version of these. I will now go lower and try harder. Thanks again. Good video.

  • Watch your line of pull, feet need to turn forward in order for the quads to be in a  straight line of pull.

  • Thank you. I have never done any reps of that kind. I researched squats it is said to be one of the next best things to walking. Since I hurt my knee I have walked but it doesn't seem as effective as this, so, as of today I will start doing 5 mins of this, 3 times a day,

  • No no Mr. Ripped, Thank you XD oh yeah your kinda ripped by the way but I'm not gay its just noticeable XD

  • @starmoon937 Useful for:

    Quadriceps

    Gluteus Maximus

    Adductor Magnus

    Soleus

    Rectus Abdominis

    Obliques

    Squats are awesome.

  • Check out my videos 15 year old 400 pound power sqaut.

  • @googoplexable it could be a lack of flexibiliy or a lack of stability. To figure out which, lie on your back and bring your knees into your chest. If you can get them all the way to your chest it's a stability issue. If you have someone to help you out, have them hold a wokout band behind your legs and pull the bar towards themselves and awayfrom their midline. As you squat push out on the band to engage the stabilizing muscles and try to get all the way down til your butt touches your calves.

  • vince del montes father?
