Squat

2025/1/9 Edited to

... Read moreThe squat is one of the most effective exercises for building lower body strength, targeting the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Achieving a personal record (PR) like 275KG/606lbs demonstrates significant progress and dedication in strength training. To reach such levels, it's important to focus on proper form, adequate warm-ups, and progressively overload your muscles over time. Incorporating accessory exercises such as lunges and leg presses can also enhance your squat performance. Nutrition plays a crucial role in recovery and muscle gain, so make sure to fuel your body with the right macronutrients. Additionally, mental preparation and motivation can greatly influence your squat sessions. Setting specific goals, tracking your progress, and celebrating milestones can boost your confidence and commitment to your workout regimen. Engaging with communities like #shareyourthoughts or #Lemon8Diary can provide support and encouragement from fellow fitness enthusiasts. Remember, achieving a PR is a journey, and each step taken in training brings you closer to your ultimate strength goals.

The fundamental basics frustrate me so much because that’s how trainers get you. They make sure you don’t actually know how to work out a loan effectively so you keep paying your money. Maybe I need to become more like that because I want the money and the clients. # #personaltraining # #squats

HOW TO PROPERLY SQUAT
If you want to learn how to properly squat - the best way to do it is to squat slowly and control. Make sure not to lean forward too much as this will target more of your quads than your glutes. Sometimes it helps to lift your toes slightly up so you don’t target quads. Also make sure to not overdo
