Squat and Bench Press Supports

Although most people don't realize it, there's one exercise in the fitness world that's considered by all experts to be the most important: the squat. This exercise not only trains your quads, glutes, and abs, but also builds strength and endurance, which will help you progress in other fitness exercises.

The squat engages the entire body. It's a very intense fitness exercise: the chest expands during the exercise, so someone who squats regularly also works on their breathing capacity. The two most common squat variations are the back squat and the front squat. With today's squat stands, you can perform both exercises in the comfort of your own home.

In the back squat, the barbell rests on the trapezius muscles and (in the powerlifting version) partly on the deltoids. The quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes are primarily engaged in this variation.

In the front squat, the barbell rests on the upper portion of the pecs and the anterior heads of the deltoids. The elbows should be kept as high as possible (the crossed-arm version is a favorite among many avid squatters) to prevent the barbell from moving. This variation places more emphasis on the quadriceps. Because the front squat requires the torso to remain upright, your body is automatically "forced" to perform the exercise correctly, and the risk of injury is lower than with the back squat.
