quarter squats

Write Bill Starr on page 81 of Strongest:

quarter squats


"One of the best ways to overload the muscles of the legs and hips is by doing heavy half or quarter squats. What most people call a half squat is in actuality a quarter squat, so I will use the latter term.



"The quarter squat allows you to overload the squatting muscles. Whereas you might only be able to full squat with 250 x 10 or 300 x 5, or 325 x 3, you will be able to use in excess of 400+ in the quarter squat. This builds a great deal of strength in the hip area, which is the center of power for any athlete."
