The Squat - How Low Should We Squat?
Squatting is arguably one of the most vital actions we perform as humans and has, therefore, become one of the most commonly used exercises in strength training programs.
The squat is a total body action (movement pattern) that involves relatively equal movement contributions at the ankle, knee, and hip. The squat is also an exercise that helps develop numerous neurophysiological benefits for better performance in both sports and in life. The ongoing question in the strength-training arena is centred around how low we should squat to best achieve these benefits.
