Deep Squat: Benefits, Muscles Worked, & How to Do It

Body Form in a Deep Squat

In a deep squat, your body has to use a couple of joints in different parts, such as the ankles, knees, lumbar spine, and hips. If any of these areas have a limited range of motion, some problems may happen, such as incorrectly tracking knees, lifting heels, or tucking tailbone. Before doing a deep squat with weights, it is necessary to talk with a trainer, physical therapist, or a biomechanics coach. They may help you optimize the movement patterns to prevent possible injuries. [3]
