'Barbell Back Squat with Hunter Labrada | Exercise Guide'

Posted Mar 17, 2022

'You\'d be hard-pressed to find a better exercise for overall leg development than the barbell squat. This exercise has been a pillar of every leg routine I\'ve had since I started playing football when I was 14 years old, and it remains so to this day.  Hunter Labrada\'s Favorite Compound And Isolation Exercise For Every Body Part | http://bbcom.me/1TgYxPy Labrada Nutrition | http://bbcom.me/1OvqJx5  Performed properly, barbell squats will place an enormous strain on your quads, as well as your hamstrings and calves. While there are a lot of really good resources out there to explore on to best perform a squat, I\'ll tell you how I prefer to do them, and you can take it for what it is: my personal opinion.   When I squat, I prefer to squat with the bar pretty low on my back—more of a powerlifting style. I feel more stable doing them this way, and am able to stay on my heels throughout the whole rep, so much so that I can wiggle my toes when in the bottom position of the squat.   While on the subject of being in the hole, I am a huge proponent of squatting at least to parallel. Actually, I believe it is optimal to go just past it, to where your hip joint is 1-2 inches below your knee. Any lower than that, and I believe you\'re placing more of a strain on your joints and connective tissues than you\'re helping your muscles. As far as foot placement goes, I\'ve always been a fan of going slightly wider than shoulder width. I\'m a toes-angled-slightly-outward kind of guy, as this is the most natural track of motion for my body.   I don\'t have much else to say about squatting that hasn\'t been said by someone else, other than, if you aren\'t currently doing them, you should be! Barring any medical excuse, that is. But to be honest, most people who have lower-back problems from squatting just use subpar form. They aren\'t willing to lighten the weight up or spend the time refining the form to where they are doing the exercise correctly. In no way am I taking a shot at those who genuinely do have spinal issues. But if you are constantly spraining your erectors or connective tissues when squatting, that is a form or too-much-weight issue—not an issue of your body not being right for squatting.
