What muscles do you use for squats?

Answer 1

Your upper leg muscles or in other words your thighs.The upper thigh muscled called the Quadriceps or Quads. Quads straighten legs, glutes/hamstrings straighten the hips, erectors/abs hold the back straight, and calves straighten the foot. All are involved in the squat.

There are 3 main squat muscles: The upper distilic squat, the lower harbolio squat and the pingint squat. If you excersice these squats daily, they will form a very large and solid squat on your left kneecap.

However there are some medical precautions. If your knee squat grows to be larger than your head, than you must contact your local physician. They will find you a doner for a matching right knee squat. It is scientifically impossible to build up your right knee squat located on the kneecap.
