The squat is street lifting’s leg strength test, and the one with the heaviest loads. Full flexion under the bar then rising to extension: the squat is often what tips a total.

How to Break a Squat Record?
Progressing at the squat rests on legal depth (hips below the knees), solid technique (braced back, drive through the feet, vertical bar path) and strength programming around heavy sets with fatigue management. Ankle and hip mobility earn you "free" kilos.
