OPTIMAL SQUAT DEPTH

This is a really frequent question from almost all the people who want to exercise, but still don’t have so much information. I have seen many other professionals of my area saying that 90º Squats are safer, that you can’t pass your knees in front of your toes, and etc.

FRONT SQUATS X BACK SQUATS – MECHANICAL DIFFERENCES AND OUTCOMES

The squat: one of the most basic exercises in strength training, also called “the king of the lifts”. Definitely the one that’s the most impressive display of raw power and dominance over your own body and mind. Putting a heavy barbell on your back, squatting all the way down and coming back up on your own is a true sign of strength, both physical and psychological. Squats go way beyond that though; Squats are a MOVEMENT PATTERN.
