Review: Barbell Full Squat
Feb 12, 2012 7:02 AM: If you aren't squatting below parallel, you aren't squatting. Forget the cowards who say it is bad for your knees; this is the single best exercise for the quads and glutes.

Tip: Barbell Full Squat
Feb 4, 2012 10:44 PM: 1. Make sure not to bend your wrist when grabbing the bark.
2. Do not lock your knees out like the guy in the video.
3. Do listen to the narrator when instructs to "maintain a straight posture with the head up" but you don't want to be looking at the ceiling either.

Oct 30, 2011 8:46 AM: Be sure to listen to your body as you go up in weight. Don't try to exceed what your lower back can support at that time or you will sustain an injury.

Tip: Barbell Full Squat
Jul 17, 2011 11:11 AM: I know this might be a weird tip, but when sitting on the toilet seat, sit in a squat position while you "do your business". This allowed me to go as low as possible on my first try; maybe it's just me, or maybe my abnormal toilet sitting made me more flexible in that regard.

Jun 15, 2011 6:15 AM: One of the top three exercises along with deadlift and bench, good vid but more info on hand positioning and where elbows should point could help this be a better demonstration.

Review: Barbell Full Squat
Dec 18, 2010 9:23 AM: This is the real squat. Nothing activates the quads like putting them all the way into their fully stretched postion (Glutes down as close to the floor as possible) . Also using the full range of motion ensures balanced muscle development and flexibility are maintained. Although less weight can be lifted...+See More

Tip: Barbell Full Squat
Aug 9, 2010 5:23 PM: Best leg exercise possible. Works all major muscle groups in the body. If you want mass and definition try both high weight and less rep along with low weight and high reps.

Review: Barbell Full Squat
Jul 27, 2010 6:25 AM: Excellent compound exercise. The barbell squat version, with bar on the back, would rate a 10 except for the fact that safety can be an issue (one should have a spotter for heavy squats). Also, in many cases the limiting factor is the lower back rather than the quads. Otherwise, this move is an excellent...+See More
