BOOKS & MORE: The Squat Bible

There are the basic exercises that none of us can avoid if we train. The better they work, the more the trainee benefits from it. The three basics: the pull-up, the push-up - and the squat. That's what this is all about, called "Squat" in English. And because the squat is almost a religious activity, the appropriate book is called "The Squat Bible". Amen.

That's what it's all about. The content already shows how precisely the book addresses the issue.

And that's where it starts: with the basics. By thoroughly thinking through the movement, one realizes how many facets it consists of and what needs to be considered.

All very nicely illustrated and made understandable.

Then comes what makes life difficult for us: the barbell.

Here again, described and documented in the most detailed way.

And always pointed out where things are important.

Stability is the basis for the weight you can lift.

The execution must always be monitored and if errors are seen, there are also corresponding correction exercises. Great.

The world is full of myths, clarification fights against them. So it is here too. Squats are a very rational thing, no matter what a "knowledgeable" training partner whispers in your ear. The downside of the matter. This is how the book describes itself.

CONCLUSION: Super. If you enjoy squatting, you should also deal with sports scientific theory. Everything you need to know about the squat itself and its many variations is included in this Bible.
