Description
Technique, methods and variations
The squat is one of the most popular and effective full-body exercises in strength training. Because no other exercise trains muscular balance, flexibility and strength more efficiently, it is often referred to as ‘The King of all Exercises’. Strength coach and trainer Wolfgang Unsöld, whose expertise is trusted by professional sportspeople and athletes from all over the world, also relies on this all-in-one exercise – which engages over 400 muscles – in his training programmes. Yet very few people perform squats correctly.
In fact, the vast majority of people doing squats are doing them incorrectly. This book debunks the most common myths and misconceptions, explains the different techniques through text and illustrations, and goes into detail on how to improve performance. From front squats and squats with flat or raised heels, through to Klokov and Medvedev squats, right up to jump squats and Romanian deadlifts, all the key squat variations are presented. The reader learns how and when to use these for optimal results.
The book includes over 10 different training programmes, such as the YPSI Squat Holiday, an intensive programme consisting of 18 training sessions over 6 days, resulting in an average increase of approximately 15 kilos in squat weight – including a loss of approximately 1.5 per cent body fat and a gain of approximately 3 kilos in lean muscle mass!
