Deep Squat Variations
There are different deep squat variations that you can try to make this movement more challenging or easier. These include:
– Front squat: This variation is performed like a deep squat, but you need to hold weights in both hands and keep them on the same level as the collar bones. By having the weight in front of the center of gravity, you may target the quads
– Back squat: Do like a front squat, but the weight should be on the upper back and both hands should be on the same level as the tops of the shoulder blades. This variation targets your gluteal muscles
– Wall squat: In this variation, you do a squat with the buttocks and back against the wall. Both feet should be around 20 centimeters away from the wall.
– Air squat: This is the simplest variation of deep squats that only uses the bodyweight [9]
