@natty__daddy: everyone should be doing a squat pattern at least once a week. here are the squats I use for folks in training from easiest (kind of) to hardest. 1) box squat - this is usually a good place to start if you're new to exercise. Start with a higher box and progress by getting lower and eventually just tapping your bottom on the box gently instead of sitting all the way down. 2) bodyweight squat - once you've built some confidence with the box squat, this is where you take the training wheels off. 3) goblet squat - this is where the legs and core get a feel for some additional resistance being added to the squat. 4) back squat - this is the best way to add a lot of resistance to the movement without being limited by your upper body's strength as with the goblet squat. 5) split squat - split squats and lunges are probably better movements overall for functionality and longevity than non-split squats, but they're more difficult. If you can't do them comfortably to-depth with your bodyweight yet, you can hold onto something for additional support/assistance. DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE DOING BACK SQUATS TO WORK ON LUNGES OR SPLIT SQUATS. 6) bulgarian split squats - these just up the ante and makes everything that makes split squats challenging even more challenging. I wouldn't allow a beginner to do these. #squats #splitsquats #glutes #lunges
