 The squat is arguably the best exercise that any athlete can perform. Overhead press, bench press, and deadlifts rank right up there too, but I digress: No one wants to have a weak squat. There really isn't that much involved in squatting. All you're doing is going down into a sitting position and then standing up again – with a little resistance thrown in. Yet this simple movement is the most productive thing you can possibly do if you want to pack muscle onto your frame. Why? Because it works your entire body while giving you a damn good cardio workout. Unlike most upper body functional strength movements, the squat involves more than one prime mover and many synergists. The result, if you apply consistency and progressive resistance, is more muscle and less fat. The goals of this workout plan are:

Increase overall leg, lower back, and core strength

 

Condition your cardiovascular system with high rep squats

 

Add some girth to those thighs through higher rep hypertrophy of the quads and hams

 

Spend some time really practicing and perfecting your squat form

 

Don't Be. Become.
