Do you know the advantages and disadvantages of squat? Many athletes, no matter what events they practice, usually practice squats. Squat has many advantages, which can exercise thigh muscles well, especially such fitness programs are very suitable for male friends. Let's take a closer look at squats.
Squat-as the name implies, it is squatting to the end and then standing up straight. Its advantage is that it can stimulate muscles in many parts, including leg muscles, such as back, buttocks and even chest. Squat really made the sacrospinous muscles of my lower back grow a lot, which is a rare gain. The disadvantage of squat is that 50% of the effort is to practice thigh muscles, and at least 30% is to practice gluteus maximus. I found that the first third stage mainly depends on gluteus maximus, and the remaining two-thirds stage depends entirely on thigh muscles. So the result of practice is muscular buttocks and thick thighs, but there is no shape. This is not what I expected.
There are several ways to squat. The most traditional way is to squat with a barbell on your shoulder and then stand up straight. The other is to squat, squat, and then stand up straight. There is also a "keep nervous" squat, that is, the knee joint is not completely straight when standing, and it is not completely squatting to the end when squatting. This way, the thigh muscles have no chance to rest. This kind of squat can be squatted to three quarters, and it is also squatting to three quarters when standing up. Squat jumping is very useful for weightlifting and athletes who want to increase leg muscle elasticity and starting speed. Squat forward is to put the barbell on your chest and squat down with your back straight. This exercise mainly relies on the muscles in the front of the thigh. You can also practice oblique squats on the inclined frame exerciser. In addition, there are lunges, side squats and one-legged squats. I won't list them one by one.
The advantage of squat is that I developed lower back muscles while practicing my legs, which made my weight reach 377 kg. If you expect your strength to increase, then practicing squat is a practical method. If you want to practice the shape and lines of thigh muscles, you should use other squat methods mentioned above.
When squatting, the position of the foot is different, and the parts that stimulate the thigh muscles are also different. For example, when the feet are parallel and stand very close, the squat is completely completed by the quadriceps femoris, which can train the shape of the front thigh muscles. When practicing, it is best to stand on the thick wooden board with your heels to keep your balance.
Squatting with your feet about 45 cm apart will stimulate the muscles on the outside, middle and inside of your thighs. If your feet are separated and your toes squat outward, it is mainly to stimulate the muscles of the inner thigh. As long as the toes squat outward, even if the legs are closer, the muscles in the inner thigh will always be stimulated. The change of foot position determines the different parts of thigh muscles.
Everyone should know the benefits of squat. People who usually want to exercise should practice this kind of project more. This method can also practice the thigh muscles of male friends well, making you look stronger and more masculine. In fact, we should exercise regularly in our daily life to make us healthier.
