Hands down one of the most productive mass building exercises you can do is the squat. They are arguably the most physically demanding exercise because performing an all out set of squats will hit every major muscle from your traps, back, hips, glutes, quads and hams. Not only that but doing big power moves, like the squat, will stimulate the central nervous system to release a flood of natural anabolic hormones like testosterone<\/strong> and growth hormone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now despite all the muscle building benefits of squatting, most people simply don’t do them because they are brutally hard to do. And if they do include squats in their workouts, they very often perform them WRONG. <\/p>\n

A lot of folks will do some weird little knee bend and call that a squat. But a proper full squat is sinking your butt down until your hips are lower then your knees. This will fully activate all the muscles to a greater degree and it’s actually safer to perform. <\/p>\n

Despite what you may think, full squats are actually easier on the knees<\/U> than stopping half way down and doing partial squats. The deeper you squat, the more you transfer of stress from the small knee joints, to the larger joints of the hips. And when you work through a full range of motion you don’t jar the joints, but rather you stretch out the muscles. <\/p>\n

To help demonstrate the differences between proper squatting form (and improper squatting form), I’ve enlisted the help of one of the world’s “Top Dogs”<\/b> in squatting.<\/p>\n

In the video below you are going to see proper full range of motion squatting from the trainer on the left. And you’ll see an example of poor squatting technique (only doing short partial range of motion squats)<\/em> from the trainer on the right. <\/p>\n

Watch and learn my friend… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

You’ll notice how the dog has perfect squatting form, going all the way down for full deep squat, (aka: ass to the floor squats). Whereas the owner is only doing wimpy little partial squats… <\/p>\n

Learn from this video and follow the dog LOL<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now in all seriousness…
\nIf you would like a complete Hardcore Mass Building Training System<\/strong> that will help you improve your full squat and all your other major lifts and muscle groups as well. Than I highly recommend you give the “Blast Your Bench”<\/a> program a try. <\/p>\n

Even though this program does focus on The Bench Press, it covers MUCH MORE…<\/strong>
\nAfter going through the entire program many folks have reported gains of 30-50 pounds in their max bench, squat, and deadlift as well as getting bigger and stronger all over!<\/p>\n

The program consists of:<\/u>
\n– Phase 1 – 2 week prep phase (to prepare your body for the training to follow)
\n– Phase 2 – 3 week Blast Your Bench Press specialization phase
\n– Phase 3 – 3 week Blast Your Squat specialization phase
\n– Phase 3 – 12 week total body mass and power building phase (to help solidify the gains you make during the specialization phases)<\/p>\n

If gaining brute power and rock solid muscular mass is on your training agenda, then click on the link below to get more information and to download your body of “Blast Your Bench”<\/a>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
