How often should this exercise: squats is a basic exercise and although it can with each leg of his training to be well implemented best practice to mix it with other leg as the leg press

When should this exercise: squats consumes much energy, so it is best to start your leg training is carried out. Personally, I warm my legs with leg extensions then I move on squatting

How to Exercise: Hold the barbell with a grip just wider than shoulder width. Stand firmly with your legs shoulder-width apart and toes pointing slightly outward.

Lower your body until your legs reach 90 degrees, hold your head with the spine neutral (facing forward) and back just to make sure your knee never before the ankles, because it put the pressure on your knee joints.

As you move up, make sure you go to the top of the heels back to the original state. Remember to always Inhale on the way down and exhale as you press up.

Mentality: Because squats requires a connection to exercise a lot of concentration, a good guess that we find effective is close your eyes and picture the weight lifting before the actual squat. Do not be down by the weight. It can be seen sometimes intimidating, a 6 or 7ft bar with big weights on it, as long as you know, the weight is manageable and safe to lift have no reason to worry.

Always make sure you squat and monitored with appropriate equipment. Squatting is a basic exercise could be wrong technique in serious injury, never sacrifice technique by overloading weights.
