Detailed Description
This staple exercise is a good way to start building stronger legs, especially in the quadriceps.
To really get full value go all the way down into a low squat with your butt against your heels. Many people have trouble going this low at first. The most common limitation is ankle dorsiflexion also known as bending your ankle forward. A way to test if this is what is limiting you is to stand with your heels slighly elevated and see if that helps you go lower.
