The squat is the undisputed king of all muscle building exercises! The almighty squat works an incredible 256 muscles in every rep! If you’re not squatting, you really should be. Personally I have seen incredible gains in the 2.5 years I have been seriously squatting, not just on the lower body but all over. Big moves like the squat help release growth hormone which obviously helps you gain all over.
There are so many squat variations. I thought I’d post up a list of ones I know of and some links to the exercise videos on how to do them. If you know of any other squat variations post them in the comments below!

Great list. For a moment, I thought you had left Zerchers off
Hey,
Impressive list, but maybe you could expand the article a little with some explanation as to the purpose of all these different squats. Like for instance I’m a runner and I’d like to know if there’s a squat out there which is lighter on the knees. Thanks!
Great site, by the way!
