The Squat: King of the Lifts (and Judge of Character)
The squat is a great exercise for building muscle, gaining strength, and improving athletic performance. I’ve yet to meet anyone with a genuinely good squat (done correctly and with a decent weight) who hasn’t put in serious work. It doesn’t demand superhuman coordination or mobility, but it won’t come naturally either. Most mistakes are set in motion before the bar even moves, which is why the set-up and your positioning are so important.
