Q & A on Squats

Zach,
   Question on squats. How often do you include squats in your workout?
What kind of squats do you use (zercher, front, breathing, etc.)? Thanks!

Jeff

ANSWER

I personally do squats at least every other week. Usually I alternate deadlifts and squats, but, it's not absolute. There are times where I squat several weeks in a row.

I use MANY different squat variations, all of which you'll see outlined through various articles at http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com

There are times where I break all the rules and perform several different squats all in the same workout.

Box squats, olympic squats, sandbag squats, zercher squats and anything else I can shock my body with.

In the video above you can see me box squatting with chains and bands.

I definitely believe BIG time in squats. They pack on muscle like no other exercise, speed up the metabolism and have an overall effect on the entire body, something I have never experienced or seen with any other exercise!

Unless you have a physical condition that forces you to avoid squats, I suggest hitting them regularly!
