Sometimes I begin to wonder if people realize that the power racks in gyms are for more than hanging their shirt on or something to stretch against. Most people will complain about not being able to put size on their lower body and these people are usually the ones if they even do work legs regularly; it’s endless sets doing quad extensions and half rep leg presses. These don’t even come close!

Hey, squatting is hard. Especially starting off they are challenging to learn and awkward. Then when you get up to 300, 400 lbs plus on the bar they are quite intimidating. Again, they are hard work. But this is why they are the most effective exercise for your entire body that you will ever do.

So learn to do them correctly, learn to go heavy and learn to go deep. This question had many debates of how low should you go? I believe the most effective depth for complete muscular overload and control when squatting is to go down until your quads just go below parallel. Once you master the physical aspect of this exercise, then all is left is to overcome that fear of the intense effort that is required.

Never sacrifice form and depth for a heavier weight especially with this exercise. The nature of this movement can allow some impressive poundage’s and can increase chance of injury if your form is not correct. Gradually try to add a couple pounds to the bar each week and before you know it you’ll be on your way to achieving the awesome leg development you’re after.
