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 vs a half squat results are far superior and injury is less likely due to less strain (weight) being placed on the knee joint. -See Less

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 Excellent compound exercise.

Apr 7, 2010 10:24 PM: Mark Rippetoe might know as much about the squat as anyone on the planet. He recommends pointing the toes out 30 degrees, tracking the knees out over the toes, and maintaining a very tight arch in the back (performing a valsalva against the back strain to create a rigid core). No "butt wink."...+See More Mark Rippetoe might know as much about the squat as anyone on the planet.

Jan 25, 2010 8:13 PM: be careful not to arch your back forward. Always keep it tight and straight, or even arched up a little at the bottom. Don't let your knees wobble sideways either as this can lead to injury, keep them in line. be careful not to arch your back forward.

Jan 6, 2010 11:12 AM: for those of you who have short hams, place a small plate beneath your heels. This will help you preform this excercise way better.

Also, this is the best excercise for your entire lower body, and the deeper you go the more of your glutes will get involved thus it's a true compound. for those of you who have short hams, place a small plate beneath your heels. This will help you preform this excercise way better.
