The barbell squat is a classic compound strength training exercise. It involves holding a barbell with weight, standing with feet shoulder-width apart, bending the knees and squatting down until the thighs are parallel to the ground, then standing up. The movement can be performed in various positions such as front or back neck position. It is important to maintain proper form to protect the joints. This exercise can comprehensively strengthen the lower limbs (quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteus maximus), enhance leg explosive power and strength; the core muscles need to continuously exert force to stabilize the body and simultaneously enhance core stability; as a multi-joint movement, it can promote hormone secretion to facilitate the growth of all muscles throughout the body, suitable for beginner fitness enthusiasts (with light weights) and advanced practitioners (with progressive muscle gain), and can also improve lower limb function and enhance daily activity ability.
