The Squat Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Mastering the Squat and Finding Your True Strength

I really liked The Squat Bible. I am rebuilding my body from 5 years of debilitating inflammatory arthritis and this book was recommended to me by a nurse friend with a background in exercise physiology as a great place to start so I can rebuild carefully and lessen the risk of injury as I go which has been my limiting factor each time I try to rebuild. I am no stranger to physical therapy, exercise and weight training with several running races, mini triathlons and years of weight training under my belt before the arthriths broke me down and still I had several "a-ha" moments througout the book, one was realizing that even when simply squatting down to pick up something from the floor, it's important to use proper form and posture to complete. I have begun to make changes in my every day movements and during exercise to train my body to move effectively, safely and correctly and I have noticed less knee pain already! I feel this book has given me a really good base of information, including simple tests that I can perform to see where my limitations lie and then work to improve them. I recommend any athete to read this, it's full of injury prevention and exercise optimization information. Rebuilding Milo is another book by the same author and it's my next stop in my sports education/rehabilitation journey!

I’m a personal trainer with an interest in physical therapy. Regardless if you are a trainer or not you can benefit from this book. It’s not the easiest read, I’ve definitely poured over it a few times and will continue to refer to it. But it is thorough and has helped me improve my squat and has helped many of my clients. Very grateful for this book.

I am writing a 5 star review not only of the book he wrote but the tremendous follow up he has undertaken on Instagram, Twitter, his new Squat University Podcast and on his own website. The book gives a great introduction to the technical ways to properly do a squat and its benefits. It goes through a lot of the most commonly found problems and their solutions. However because squatting is a movement sometimes static pictures don't do it justice, which is where his online content is so useful as you can watch his examples in short video clips. I've even tweeted him about issues I've had with my own squats and hes personally replied back. That's Awesome! As I get older I realize how important it is to financially support products you appreciate. Could you be cheap and only read his online content? Sure. But I value his work and insight and his help he has given myself and others, so I wanna make sure the man gets paid and this is the most effective way I know how. Dr. Horschig has done a great job in helping us in the gym begin to master one of the most fundamental movements we need for success, and it's because of that I give my highest reccomendation.

What an incredible book. Dr. Aaron horschig is an amazingly devoted expert to the Olympic lifting, powerlifting and squat world. I couldnt Find a better book to tell you to buy. I have A power lifting meet December 10th 2017 and i feel Nothing short of confident with my squat performance. I literally Covers everything from range of mobility to enable yourself to be able to get a proper squat form down to prevent injury and give you your strongest untapped potential. If you don’t want to be a bad ass in the weight room then don’t buy this book. Your loss.

This guide was a birthday present for one of my sons as he has always been a fitness focus person. He advised that his various leg muscles were aching after using the guide, so I am assuming he really enjoys using the guide because as he says, "no pain, no gain".

Title says it all .. everything you wanted to, need to know about squats.

Perfect blend of content and readability. The book is 125 pages, but stuffed with content. By focusing only on the squat the author gives himself plenty of room to elaborate on important points and to adequately explain the value of each principle along the way. I love a book that doesn't shy away from telling you why, and in The Squat Bible this is addressed in a way that is readable and the complex concepts seem simple.

Dr. Aaron Horschig, founder of Squat University, provides a lot of great information in this book. As someone who is in the field of Exercise Science, I'm always striving to improve my knowledge and often find myself delving into new books in order to gain more depth and understanding of the human body as it relates to strength, conditioning, functionality, etc. Dr. Horschig, in addition to being a physical therapist, is an athlete him self and treats various athletes as well. In fact, many of the athletes he has worked with have had many issues in common, inspiring him to write this book. The best aspect of the book is that it is supported by evidence and research, and explained in a way that is digestible. I recommend!

Libro breve ma molto utile per chi si approccia al movimento dello squat e le sue variati. Test di mobilità, consigli tecnici e lessico molto chiaro. Consigliato anche per chi ha poca dimistichezza con l'inglese.

A great set of screens to assess joint mobility, along with very clear, sensible steps to remedy any weaknesses. Great pictures, too. All in all, a great manual, just the right length, little repetition, covers the major points sensibly and clearly. Good stuff.

Dr. Aaron Horschig is a great Physiotherapist who has his own Youtube, Instagram accounts with Squat University. His in depth knowledge on exercises is phenomenal but his speciality is the squat, this book goes very in depth on the the squat, from its movements patters, multiple versions of the squats and most importantly how to squat properly. This book has helped me improve my squat technique and understand this movement more and realise how important it is to be able to squat properly..

I loved the book because it taught me so much about human body movement and the Squat and it's applications . Would definitely say that this book has changed my perspective on "The Squat" . A must buy .
