Tip: Barbell Full Squat
Feb 9, 2010 6:45 PM: I like to vary the placement of my feet each set. Look at a point higheron the wall or mirror while you go down and come up.

Tip: Barbell Full Squat
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.

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.

Dec 23, 2009 7:16 AM: Picture is misleading. You must go below parrallel for this exercise. Be careful of your knees when doing these though.

Review: Barbell Full Squat
Nov 3, 2009 7:11 AM: Would have given a zero out of ten as the squat would not have passed in competition as he was not below parallel. If you are going to label something a full squat, you might wish to have that exercise actually being performed.
