How to Squat Part 2

What is the Best Squat? 

None! 
and Totally Dependent on your GOALS!

So lets look at the different squats 


Joe's Garage Gym Olympic Squat

Low Bar back SQUAT? *Power Lifting Squat
WHEN AND WHERE AND WHY?


IT Moves More Weight ? 
But what if I can move more weight without a low back back squat, Then you Haven't practiced it enough,
Because every 1000pound 400 kilo plus Squatter in the world cannot be wrong

Why does it move more weight?
Because you are travelling less distance? 

What Am I looking for when I do it? 

Push your Butt Back as Far as you can
Do not let your Knees Travel Too Far Forward
Let your Hips Hinge and Allow your Chest to Drop *with a tight Straight Back

Muscle Groups that Dominate this Movements ?
Hamstring
Glutes
Low Back

What Am I looking for when I do it? 

Keep your back Straight 
Push your Butt Back
Let your Hip Drop *without flexing your low back
Push your Knees Forward
Do not let your Hips hinge,
