Squats and its major types in Gym

-




 The squat is probably the best all-round, compound exercise for developing muscle and strength in the lower body. The squat develops the muscles of the front of the leg and the butt mostly, but different foot positions and depth of squat can invoke other leg muscles as well such as the hamstrings at the back of the upper leg and the abductors and gracilis along the inside of the upper legs.

Always observe good form and safety measures when squatting (or any other weights exercise).

Squats can be performed with barbells, dumbbells, Smith machine, kettlebells, plates, and with different leg positions, with one or two legs, to the ground or halfway, with bodyweight only, and with various schemes for sets and repetitions.




  • 1. Barbell front squat (barbell in front)
  • 2. Barbell back squat (barbell at rear on traps)
  • 3. Dumbbell squat (at sides. chest or on shoulders)
  • 4. Dumbbell lunge
  • 5. Single leg squat
  • 6. Split squat (one leg forward, one back)
  • 7. One-leg split squat (leg resting on bench)
  • 8. Hack squat machine
  • 9. Hack squat (barbell)
  • 10. Low to ground or only half way
  • 11. Wide stance squat
  • 12.
    Pistol squat

Start by doing an aerobic activity, like walking or running, for a sustained 20-30 minutes, four to five times a week, says Bryant. To ensure you're working at an optimum level, try the "talk test": Make sure you can carry on a basic level of conversation without being too winded.
