In a squat, the synergist muscles assist the primary movers, which are primarily the quadriceps and gluteus maximus. Key synergists include the hamstrings, adductors, and the muscles of the lower back, which help stabilize the hips and spine during the movement. These muscles contribute to overall balance and control, ensuring an effective and safe squat execution.
