You work your way, there is no easy way, to that point where it is as much as you can do, and then you push that limitation to go past it. It hurts - and it is daunting because if you get it wrong you might get injured. The squat is not one to mess up on.

Because the squat is such a mammoth movement, it will show you where your limitations lie. There will be mobility issues - we all have these somewhat - and weakness areas such as legs, back, glutes, and the core strength which holds you stable.

Most important thing is to get it right. Unfortunately, most video instruction by professional fitness people on you tube is wrong! I presume that many personal trainers are not giving good advice. The trainers at my gym do this, and I see people who squat incorrectly and unsafely.

Because everyone has a different body type, one has to find the correct squat for their own body.

The best advice I have found on you tube comes from Dr Layne Norton, Juggernaut Training Systems and Supertraining06.
