If you break down the muscles involved, it’s not bad. Squats are quad, glute, and back dominant, so you would balance with exercises focused on hamstrings, hip flexors, and abs. Also, tons of stretching.
- bamboozled 4y agoIf executed properly, is a deep squat itself not a form of stretching?
- Daishiman 4y agoA well executed squat uses hamstrings and abs a ton, unless you believe you don't need to have completely tight abs when squatting 1.5x your bodyweight.
- snowwrestler 4y agoWhat are you arguing? That a barbell squat works every muscle in the body equally? Do you actually believe that is true?
- Daishiman 4y agoI'm arguing that there is no such thing as an "opposing" exercise. Squats, deadlifts, lunges, cald raises, you can compliment with some things but a leg program that's 80% squats and deads is going to be very good.
