Working Out With Will & Phil - Episode 9 - Squats Are Necessary!

slickwilly (66) in fitness • 7 years ago (edited)

We invite you to join our leg day workout! For this workout we went decently heavy on squats and discussed the importance of squatting to build a solid foundation for muscle growth all over the body.

Our main exercises featured in the video:

Squats
Weighted Lunges
Leg Curls
Calf Raises

As you can see we didn't do a whole lot of exercises, but we still exhausted ourselves with high intensity, reps and sets.

In the video we also talk about one of the more famous bodybuilders, Tom Platz and what he had to say about squatting.

Question: squats have always caused me a problem in one of my hips and my low back. Is there a way around this?

Squats do strengthen your lower back, but you need a strong lower back to do them in the first place. You can work on this with low weight deadlifts and build up from there.
As for hips, look for different hip stretches and do them right before squatting. I can squat a lot more after I open up my hips with stretching.

I competively Olympic lifted (Clean and Jerk, Snatch) for some time and have also torn my Labrum in my hip, so I know a little about the hip and extenders. First off is breathing technique, do not take a deep breath into your chest, but rather breath down into your stomach, this allows you to use you diaphram to support your core meaning more muscle recruitment and stability. As far as hips go, try goblet squats and at the bottom of your range use your elbows to push out your knees, this will help develop solid hip mobility "in the hole" until you are ready to go to back squats. A glute ham raise back extension will also come in handy!
