"Do You Want To Get Big And Strong? Then You Gotta Squat! But Do You Really Know How?" Let's face it, squats are the key to leg strength and the key to overall body strength. Basically every strength champion does squats and this book will give you the edge in cranking up your squat poundage. Squats are Maybe the Most Misunderstood of All Weight Training Exercises. Why? Because almost no one really knows how to do them and there are more old wives tales hanging around about this exercise than there are bad fishing stories. Those are couple of the reasons why I wrote this manual. I want you to be able to know for sure that you're doing it right when you squat. I want to put it out to you in simple, clear language so that even the beginner or the most advanced athletes can learn from this book. I want to smash a couple of those old wives tales so that when you read and understand this book you won't be afraid to do the squat. You won't bother to listen to any of those sissies who tell you it's bad for your knees and your back and you'll have the reigns of your own strength training destiny in hand. The practical knowledge of this exercise (The Squat) is maybe the biggest key difference between the successful strength champion and the girly spandex wearer who couldn't lift his way out of a wet paper bag. If you're serious about strength and development then you must have this book, but if you're not, don't bother to buy it. Why? Because I'm not going to sugar coat it for you. I'm going to tell you the truth. The simple, plain, back-breaking, steel-bending, blood-curdling truth. I want you to know that building your knowledge and your mind is what starts to build your body. I want you to be fired up to do this exercise justice. I'm not going to tell you that you can sit around and drink some magic blender potion and not get out and bust your butt and get big. Because let's face it, anybody who tells you that is lying. I'm going to give you the tools to build freakish size and strength and we're going to do it the old way. The way it was before political correctness clouded the field of strength training. Before badly built machines and hand-holding personal trainers got in the way. How do I know? Because that's how I grew up in the strength training world. I've spent the time and effort to test and study and learn what really works. Here are some of the things that you'll learn in this book: *How I pushed my squat up from 225 to 900 - The Whole Story *Some of my personal history and some of the crazy things that have happened in my life and why it's a miracle for me to be walking much less squatting 900 pounds. *Why you can't seperate the physical completely from the mental and spiritual. *My first three major routines and the progress I made on them. *Real squat technique - in detail with pictures and descriptions. *The differences and applications of squat styles. *Bar placement, foot placement, hand placement. *Aligning your joints and how to drop into a squat to correctly activate the muscles and to stabilize the knees. *Tricks to mark your depth, keep position and keep your head up and drive the bar up correctly. *Discussion about what to and not to wear when you squat.
