Squat Form Critique – detailed exercise technique breakdown…
Just recently one of my subscribers sent me a video of himself doing the squat and he asked for my opinion, insights, and some constructive criticism of his lifting form. So that’s exactly what we’re going to cover in this squat technique video breakdown

The barbell squat is one of the best leg exercises you can do. In fact, it’s arguably the single best exercise you can do for building muscle throughout the entire body. However, there are times when you’ll need to train your legs without squatting

Alternatives To Doing Squats
Of all the exercises out there I think I get more e-mails asking for variations to squatting than anything else. People will complain that squats hurt their knees, hurt their back, hurt their shoulders, or that they are just plain scared of doing squats.
And you know what, I think every single bodybuilder, weightlifter, or powerlifter out there has felt all these things to some degree or another.

How To Do Full Squats
We all know that we should squat, but the problem is that the squat is one of the hardest exercises you can do. Not just because it’s so physically demanding, but it’s a technical lift to perform properly. Part of the problem why it’s hard to do a deep full range of motion squat is that we generally lack of flexibility in the hips and ankles and just the lower body in general
Single Leg Workouts
The first step to a great physique is simply training all your major muscle groups equally from top to bottom. But you can step things up and strive to develop balance and symmetry from left to right with single limb training
Squat Technique Tip – Strengthen Weak Hips
Most guys naturally have weak hips because we rarely focus on training them. One way to tell if you have weak hips is by your squatting form, if your knees buckle in as you squat down, especially as you work up to lifting heavy weight, than that’s a sure sign that you need to strengthen your hips

How To Warm Up Before You Workout
What’s the proper way to warm up before a weight training workout? Should you stretch first? Should you do some cardio? Is a warm up really needed? One of keys to having a successful workout is the mental and physical preparation that you do before you hit the gym floor.
Bodybuilding Stretching Routine
Of all aspects of bodybuilding training, stretching is the one part that is most often ignored by most guys. It is just one of those things that seems to get pushed off to the side as not that important. Well, one thing you probably didn’t realize is that when stretching is properly integrated into a weight training program it can actually SPEED UP YOUR MUSCLE GROWTH!
Strengthen The Hips With The INNER & OUTER Thigh Machine
We all know that a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and for a lot of guys the hips are a weak link. Just think of all the workout programs you’ve followed, how many of them emphasized specific exercises to build up the hips? (probably not that many) The hips play more of a role in your overall strength and development than most guys realize.
