What are the disadvantages of squats?

As people in modern society become more familiar with various forms of exercise, they will choose some simple and quick ways of exercise to exercise after busy work. Among them, squats are a form of exercise that is widely loved and recognized by people, but some friends also complain that they do not feel so comfortable after doing this exercise. What is going on? So what are the disadvantages of squats? Let me give you a detailed answer in the following time.

1 Knee inward

Commonly affected groups: women and sissies.

Hazards: Increased risk of injuries to ligaments, meniscus, etc.

Causes: Wide pelvis and weak abductor muscles.

Solution: Narrow the pelvis (not feasible); strengthen the abductor muscles (feasible).

Training method: puppy hip abduction, crab step lateral transfer (with mini band).

2. Not squatting deep enough

Common groups of people who are most susceptible to this disease: those who cannot squat down and those who can squat down but refuse to do so.

Harm: There is no harm, but it does not stimulate the gluteus maximus enough and you won’t get a perky butt.

Causes: The former involves flexibility, coordination, technique and other factors; the latter is a psychological factor.

Solution strategies: The former can conduct targeted exercises on weak links; the latter can consult a psychologist.

Training methods: stretching, Toe Touch exercises.

3 Arched Back

Commonly affected groups or races: People with poor back strength and cat people.

Hazard: Increased risk of lower back injury.

Cause: As I said before, it is due to poor back strength.

Solution: Strengthen back strength exercises and maintain a neutral spine position.

Training method: dumbbell deadlift (straight legs or bent legs).

4. No change in standing distance

Commonly prone groups: Many people (including me).

Harm: No new stimulation can be generated.

Cause: Lack of awareness; I am lazy.

Solution: Enhance awareness; be more diligent.

Training method: Narrow-grip training for quadriceps; medium-grip training for gluteus enlargement, wide-grip training for adduction.

5. Too light

Commonly affected groups: skinny people and women.

Harm: Waste of time.

Cause: I really can't squat; I'm afraid of adding weight and developing big and thick legs.

Solution strategy: proceed step by step and increase the load gradually; girl, you think too much.

Training method: throw away the dumbbells (of course not just throw them away, put them on the dumbbell rack according to the weight, pay attention to quality and etiquette!), pick up the barbell (pay attention to the correct technical movements)!

6. Deliberately require the knee joint not to exceed the toes

Commonly prone groups: People who have been brainwashed by the superstition that “the knees should not exceed the toes”.

Hazards: Additional stress on the hip joints and spine, increasing risk of injury. Just imagine if a person has short legs and long tibia, wouldn’t he die? (Fortunately, I have long legs and short feet, hehe~~)

Cause: There are too many quack doctors and people just follow the crowd (if we are not careful, it will become a social problem).

Solution: Knees, you keep walking forward and don’t look back! (Just kidding, if you don’t look back, you will kneel down. Just a little more than that!)

Training method: When you start squatting, don’t bend your knees and go down first. Instead, push your hips back first, which is a bit like “Good Morning”. This is good for your knees, hips and waist.

The previous few paragraphs are some explanations I made for everyone. I believe that after reading them carefully, most friends will have a certain understanding of the disadvantages of squats. In fact, I want to tell you that you don’t have to worry too much about these disadvantages, because they are not big problems, they just require us to pay a little attention and attention. But we must also follow the standard movements of squatting, otherwise we will strain our knee joints.
