How to Squat with Proper Form
The squat builds lower body strength like no other exercise. Setup: Bar rests on upper traps (high bar) or rear delts (low bar). Feet shoulder-width or slightly wider, toes angled out 15-30 degrees. Brace your core like someone will punch you. Break at hips and knees simultaneously. Descend until hip crease breaks below knee (parallel). Drive through mid-foot to stand, hips and chest rising together. Keep knees tracking over toes throughout.
