In my last post I talked about the hip hinge and how important it is to working the glutes and posterior chain. Your legs also have muscles on the front of them and nobody has shapely and strong legs without nicely develops quadriceps. One of the best exercises for developing full,strong quads has always been and remains the squat and its variations. The squat has received some bashing over the years for everything from injuring knees and lower backs to building more than ample gluteus maximus also know as "large ass syndrome" Personally I think people avoid the squat more because it is a lot of hard work than these other two reasons but that is just my opinion. In the following video I will briefly discuss and demonstrate how to turn the squat into a quad builder and not a back breaking exercise is glute building.
