What it concludes

• The barbell squat is the most technical of all four main lifts and will expose any weaknesses, tightnesses, or imbalances.
• A proper squat requires being physically capable of performing a proper squat; addressing flexibility and imbalances is necessary before squatting heavy weight.
• The squat style you choose should be determined by your sport, strength goals, and personal preference.
• Proper squat depth is achieved when the crease of your hips goes below the top of your knee cap.
• Half-sucks fail to engage the posterior chain properly and force the knee joint to stop downward momentum.
• Tight ankles, tight hips, and poor thoracic mobility are the three main reasons why people cannot squat low.
