Summary
As a physical therapist， coach， and certified strength and conditioning specialist， Dr。 Aaron Horschig began to notice the same patterns in athletes over and over。 Many of them seemed to pushed themselves as athletes in the same ways they push themselves out in the real world。
Living in a performance-based society， Dr。 Horschig saw many athletes who seemed to not only want to be bigger and stronger but to get there faster。 This mentality ultimately led to injuries and setbacks， preventing athletes from reaching their full potential。
Now， after developing unique and easy-to-use techniques on how to train and move well， Dr。 Horschig shares his invaluable insights with readers in The Squat Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Mastering the Squat and Finding Your True Strength。
This detailed plan enables you to unearth the various weak spots within your body-the areas that leave you in pain and hinder your ability to perform-and completely change your approach to athleticism。 Discover new strength， new power， and astounding potential you never knew you possessed。
As the founder of SquatUniversity。com， Dr。 Horschig knows that when you transform the way you work out， you transform your body-and your life。

Sencillamente maravilloso。 La única pega es la traducción que deja bastante que desear en cuanto a fluidez en la lectura。

Aaron 'Puto Amo' Horschig， el hombre más apasionado del mundo por las sentadillas， demostrando una vez más que los fisios somos profesionales del ejercicio terapéutico y siendo esta nuestra principal herramienta de trabajo。 Si alguna vez me dejo caer por su clínica le fecilitaré en persona por su contribución a mi práctica clínica。 150 páginas de pura maravilla， libro corto pero contundente。 Aaron 'Puto Amo' Horschig， el hombre más apasionado del mundo por las sentadillas， demostrando una vez más que los fisios somos profesionales del ejercicio terapéutico y siendo esta nuestra principal herramienta de trabajo。 Si alguna vez me dejo caer por su clínica le fecilitaré en persona por su contribución a mi práctica clínica。 150 páginas de pura maravilla， libro corto pero contundente。 。。。more

Good informative read that didn't leave the reader drowning in terminology。 Great analogies for more complex topics， and worthwhile information was covered。 Good informative read that didn't leave the reader drowning in terminology。 Great analogies for more complex topics， and worthwhile information was covered。 。。。more

Detailed information about the three squats back（high bar， a low bar）， front squat。The information provided is concise。 But， compared to a book， it is a pricey $ purchase。

Mastery of the language of movement。 A book to read and re-read。

I really enjoyed this book and it very clearly went through the importance of the various muscle groups。 The unpacking of the instability and weaknesses that can lead to joint pain is widely applicable and not just limited to those who lift。 In these days of lockdown， hip and back pain due to sitting for so long， can be eased with appropriate exercise and stretching， which this book contains。 I'm looking forward to his next book - rebuilding Milo。 I really enjoyed this book and it very clearly went through the importance of the various muscle groups。 The unpacking of the instability and weaknesses that can lead to joint pain is widely applicable and not just limited to those who lift。 In these days of lockdown， hip and back pain due to sitting for so long， can be eased with appropriate exercise and stretching， which this book contains。 I'm looking forward to his next book - rebuilding Milo。 。。。more

The book is not all about squats， despite that this is the main topic。 There are lots of important concepts described， that I will for sure get back to multiple times at a later stage when weightlifting。

Great book full of lots of practical information for an S&C coach aiming at improving movement and assessing areas of improvement for a squat。

Helpful for improving squatsI have been having trouble with my squats， specifically I could not squat deeply， and my knees hurt。 This book provides detailed instructions on proper technique for bodyweight squats， piston squats， and barbell squats。 It also addresses why I was having trouble （my ankles and hips） and provides specific exercises and stretches to remedy the weaknesses。 I can already see and feel improvements in my squats。 Highly recommend。

Great book to learn the fundamentals of how your body works， how to squat and how to get more mobility。

Comprehensive but comprehensible。 This book provides an extensive analysis of one of the most fundamental movement patterns we can do to stay healthy and get strong。 The over-encompassing philosophy of Dr Horschig's teaching for the squat: "movement first， exercise second" aims to help athletes get into weightlifting learning the fundamental movement patterns of the squat first before attempting to load up plates for a barbell squat。 A really informative read。 Comprehensive but comprehensible。 This book provides an extensive analysis of one of the most fundamental movement patterns we can do to stay healthy and get strong。 The over-encompassing philosophy of Dr Horschig's teaching for the squat: "movement first， exercise second" aims to help athletes get into weightlifting learning the fundamental movement patterns of the squat first before attempting to load up plates for a barbell squat。 A really informative read。 。。。more

Compact yet has exactly what you need to know about Squatting！ This book has helped me tremendously with my squats。 I've always hated and sucked at squats until recently。 Along with this book， I've watched some Squat University videos that together helped correct my form。 My form on squats are looking much better thanks to the author。 It's an interesting read。 I wondered how a whole book could be about squatting alone but this book contains really all the details you can learn from reading （with Compact yet has exactly what you need to know about Squatting！ This book has helped me tremendously with my squats。 I've always hated and sucked at squats until recently。 Along with this book， I've watched some Squat University videos that together helped correct my form。 My form on squats are looking much better thanks to the author。 It's an interesting read。 I wondered how a whole book could be about squatting alone but this book contains really all the details you can learn from reading （with the rest coming from actual consistent training）。If you hate squats or squats arent your forte， I strongly recommend this book！ 🦵 。。。more

Interesting and well written book， content-wise at least。 There were plenty of typos in the German Kindle edition。 Also some pictures are wrongly labelled and I did not understand the difference between the two biophysical analyses in the last chapter and I wonder whether it is because of something having been accidentally omitted。 I will think further about it 。。。 As I really like the insight given in this book， I hesitate to take a star off and give it all the 5 stars。Exercise science is an ar Interesting and well written book， content-wise at least。 There were plenty of typos in the German Kindle edition。 Also some pictures are wrongly labelled and I did not understand the difference between the two biophysical analyses in the last chapter and I wonder whether it is because of something having been accidentally omitted。 I will think further about it 。。。 As I really like the insight given in this book， I hesitate to take a star off and give it all the 5 stars。Exercise science is an area with many myths and plenty of wrong information。 So， I think it is great to see a book of such a good quality！ Plenty of references， well researched， well explained and good exercises。 Reading it helped me even to understand foam rolling better！ 。。。more

Learning the basic squat moves will help you in every day life。 This book focuses on the movement， not the weight。 Lots of simple， but effective exercises to address strength and mobility issues before you ever pick up a weight。 Great if you're coming off an injury too。 Learning the basic squat moves will help you in every day life。 This book focuses on the movement， not the weight。 Lots of simple， but effective exercises to address strength and mobility issues before you ever pick up a weight。 Great if you're coming off an injury too。 。。。more

Full of interesting information， explained in clear and concise chapters and aided appropriately by visual aids。 It’s given me much to think about and implement in the gym， and I’ve already shared much of its wisdom with others。

I own a small home gym on where friends who want to get in shape decide to go to train。 I also live in Mexico so squats and deadlifts are not pretty popular over here， therefore， coaches that properly teach the technique to execute the movements correctly for drug free people， and specially non-athletes who want to make a positive change in their lives is not very common over here。 This book helped me correct and coach these individuals to a point where they went from not training at all， to per I own a small home gym on where friends who want to get in shape decide to go to train。 I also live in Mexico so squats and deadlifts are not pretty popular over here， therefore， coaches that properly teach the technique to execute the movements correctly for drug free people， and specially non-athletes who want to make a positive change in their lives is not very common over here。 This book helped me correct and coach these individuals to a point where they went from not training at all， to perform squats with proper form with almost twice their bodyweight at the comfort of my home， no injuries no drugs and steady progress。This is a must read to any individual who wants to coach other people， or self-teach the art of squatting safely。 The book contains concepts to understand what might be causing limitations in movement and how to fix it， how to identify weaknesses， and how to perform corrective exercises to improve mobility for different types of squats such as the overhead squat， front squat， high bar squat， low bar squat and so on。 Very useful 。。。more
