Don’t Cheat Your Squats
Busted. Other than just being douchey – there’s now a new and very dire reason not to cheat your squats. While exercise in general raises your good cholesterol (HDL) squats are considered the superset of raising HDL because it targets the major muscles on the body. But all squats are not created equal, according to Dr. Santora full squats activate more muscle fibers than half or quarter squats.
