	Anarchist Art of John Cage
		Cage, by contrast, shows instead of tells, for his assumption is that, in the community represented by his art, the Promised Land has come.
		I've always regarded Cage as epitomizing the noncompetitive life, where no one is regarded as a threat who must be eliminated, where you can afford to be generous with your own work as well as your possessions, and to do work so extreme and idiosyncratic that plagiarism need not be feared.
		Even Cage's philosophy is true to his politics, at a time when, to paraphrase Barnett Newman, Philosophy is for the artist, especially for some painters nowadays, much as the Bible is to the minister, which is to say a respectable source that can be used to justify anything.

	John Cage and the Squat
		In Hanau (Germany) the house in Metzgerstrasse 8 was squatted in December 1986.

		John Cage was one of the most influential composers of the last century.

		If you are using a weight you can squat over 20 times comfortably and you have no orthopedic restriction, you can go rock bottom and allow the back to round naturally, providing that at no time you allow the bar to move forward of the toes (see Figure 6).
		People who are use to squatting on Smith machines or using leg presses often fall backwards when trying to use an Olympic bar because a machine squat is a supported squat and doesn't require you to use your own balance mechanisms.
		Whenever you are squatting, you should always keep your nose and umbilicus centered on the crack between the mirrors as you perform the squat.

		While most articles written about the squat are aimed at the sweat-covered "big boys" in the gym, or at athletes trying to improve their performance, I'll show you that anyone, with at least one good leg, can use the squat to achieve improved health and function.
		Digestion and elimination are further facilitated by the full squat as a result of both pressure changes in the abdominal and thoracic cavities and improved motility of organs.
		Unfortunately, while the lordotic squatting posture may be beneficial among the injured and for those training at more than 60 percent maximum intensity (~ 21 rep load), use of the lordotic posture when it is unnecessary, such as during light squatting or during functional activities, results in static loading.

	FreeTrainers Forums - prgression
		As for squatting to parallel, I found many women have an easier time going ATG than keeping their balance on a parallel squat.
		That is one such progression, but I would rather do mobility drills prior to squatting, and have the toes externally rotate before adding plates underneath the heels.
		I am box squatting after ME bench just to bring up my hip strength a bit...it's going to be fairly light weight even at low reps...don't think I can go too much past 315lb...

	Squat
		The squat (sometimes referred to as the back squat) is one of the queens of exercises.
		To execute a good squat, your initial position should be standing with the bar across your traps (upper back), not your neck.
		I, I mean a friend of mine, wiped out on her first attempt at the overhead squat because she tried it with the full-sized bar.

	The Lifts
		The squat seems to be the favorite of most powerlifters, and it is the first lift performed in a powerlifting competition.
		Squatting develops a wide range of muscle groups throughout the lower body, including the frontal thighs (quadriceps femoris), the rear thighs (hamstrings), groin (adductors), buttocks (gluteals), calves (gastrocnemius/soleus), and lower back (erector spinae).
		Squats and deadlifts are clearly the most effective exercises for developing the upper legs and lower back.

	Free video clip of the back squat with correct lifting technique from B.O.S.S.
		The back squat is one of the most functional exercises we as humans can perform.
		SAFETY NOTE: The squat should ideally be performed with the aid of a squat rack and spotter or in a power cage for maximum safety.
		PROFESSIONAL COMMENT: Whether to perform deep squatting is a source of contention of many strength and conditioning professionals as it inevitably involves extending the knee-toe line, imposing higher shear and torque forces on the knees.

	Squat Rack / Stands / Cage with FREE Shipping
		The squat is truly the king of all bodybuilding exercises.
		If you want to build the maximum amount of muscle and strength possible then you should do full barbell squats as this movement works more major muscles at one time than almost any other exercise and will stimulate your metabolism to make dramatic muscle gains.
		Women also benefit enormously from this exercise too as squats will do more to shape the derriere, hips, and thighs than anything else they can do.

		Squats deplete nearly every muscle in the body, at least to some degree.
		There are guys with fairly decent (but not spectacular) chests but when they get cut to the point of vascularity and all the fat is gone from their legs, they have little skinny birdlike sticks down there, and that looks really stupid.
		You COULD squat from a bench press kit that has those bogus flimsy telescoping thingies that are supposed to be a squat rack.

		As the merry-go-round spins faster and faster, both the bicycle rider and the person on the platform begin to feel the effects of artificial gravity caused by the momentum of the device.
		The person on the platform can now perform squat exercises at gravity equal or greater – the researchers have produced artificial gravity seven times that of Earth – to what they would experience on Earth.
		Squats – an exercise where a person stands upright with a load on their shoulders, lowers themselves to a crouch, and stands back up - strengthen the calf, thigh, and back muscles, which are also the muscles where up to 25 percent loss occurs.

		I will describe one specific exercise that can be performed, the squat jump, but you can use medicine balls to enhance flexibility and train explosively to improve upper arm and chest strength in a variety of ways.
		While we don't have the luxury of loading up plates on a barbell and squatting until we see stars, there are plenty of options while on the road to leave those legs ripped with muscle.
		If you have the balance, coordination, and leg strength, then a great exercise is the one-legged squat or "King squat" (named after Ian King, who is the first person who introduced me to this technique).

		I think the hazard and confidence problems with the squat are its most troubling aspects, and after a few weeks with the bench, you can wean yourself off it, but still squat deep with heavy wieght and good stability.
		I tried this after Michael suggested it and, having never before been able to squat even 135 without toppling over forward, I was able within a couple of weeks to do good, parallel sets at 210 with complete stability, and have been gaining strength and confidence ever since.
		I agree with Rosemary and everyone else that the squat is a very, very difficult lift to master, requiring many months to learn good form, but the box squat is a good way to solve the stability and confidence problem and get you started.

	Dumbbell Squats vs Barbell Squats
		When you do a barbell squat, the weight can be lower on your back (powerlifter) and you can do more weight as it's more centered.
		Dumbbells are probably better to start off with for getting a feel for how to balance your legs and lower body without having to worry about the placement of a barbell on the shoulders and such.
		Point being, if you are going to squat, use a barbell unless you have no other choices.

		The big guys who do 1000lb leg presses all seem to squat about 400-500lbs and I'd guess they weigh in the 220 to 250 range so they seem to also workout at about "quad parity" for heavy squats and leg presses in my observations.

		A study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research measured the relative use of the quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes during Smith machine squats when an exerciser's feet were directly under the bar and at various distances out in front of the bar (up to 18 inches).
		The researcher found that the quads were the primary muscle group used during Smith machine squats when the trainer's feet were 10 inches or less in front of the bar.
		From lab to gym: Unlike barbell squats, Smith machine squats allow you to change the focus from the quads to the hamstrings and glutes simply by moving your feet forward.
