Squat technique for working out the buttocks

Everything ingenious is simple. This rule also applies to exercise. Here is also the simplest exercise, often the most effective. And squats are a prime example of this. Their phenomenal effectiveness has long been known.
But, despite the outward simplicity, the question of how to do squats for the buttocks is very burning, because they require strict adherence to the correct technique. We will talk about this.
Periodicity

First of all, remember that like any other exercise, squats do not give an instant effect, and if you want to become the owner of elastic buttocks that are attractive to the opposite sex, you must perform them systematically.
Correct technique

Here are a few rules to follow when doing squats:
1) In the starting position, standing firmly on your feet, tighten your stomach and tighten your abdominal muscles. This is not a whim, but a necessity, so your spine will be fixed, which will help avoid injury. Yes, if your abs also leave much to be desired, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the exercises for the press.
2) The back should be straight, tense and slightly arched in the lumbar region. The latter is especially important, because if you round your back while doing a squat, you can get a serious injury. Therefore, make sure that the shoulder blades are brought together, and a straight line can be drawn from the coccyx to the back of the head.
3) Do not lift your heels off the floor while doing the squat. This can lead to a transfer of the load from the legs to the back, which, therefore, may suffer. If you can’t keep your feet in place, place a plank or thick book under your heels. It will be easier this way, but these are already extreme measures, so try to do without them.
4) Make sure that in the lower position the knees do not go beyond the level of the feet and are parallel above them. Not from the side, not at an angle, but above. If it doesn’t work, squat, at first, only to the point after which the knees begin to “walk”. Yes, this will reduce the load by sacrificing proper technique, but over time, as you get used to it, you will be able to do a full squat.
5) Breathe evenly and deeply and never hold your breath. When you move down, take a deep breath, and when you get up, slowly, calmly exhale.
Little tricks

Can be placed on the shoulders a small barbell, if it is not there, a bodybar or a regular mop will do. Throwing it on your shoulders – firmly squeeze your hands and do not let go until the end of the exercise. This will help you keep your balance and not slouch while doing it.

You can also experiment with the width of the legs. With classic squats, it is recommended to place the feet shoulder-width apart, however, you are free to look for the most suitable position for yourself by placing them wider or narrower. The main thing – remember that you need to look not for the easiest position, but one that will allow you to work out the buttocks as fruitfully as possible.
By the way, about the buttocks. At the time of the exercise, they should be as tense as possible. In this case, the pelvis should only move up and down, without deviating to the side.
