Women especially should not do any form of squatting. Women genetically have wide hips and legs for child birth and doing squats will only make them look wider.
yes. how can you pick up your dumbbell safely if you dont use your legs to lift it. seriously, check out m youtube channel, i did a video teaching correct squatting technique to pick up dumbbells safely.
No there not. Internet bodybuilders are scared of heavy weights. So it's best they don't squat to avoid the embarrassment when there are women with bigger legs squatting a lot more than what they do.
The squat should be, must be the key-stone exercise to everyone's workout.
Is it a good back builder?
Not really
Is it a good leg builder?
There are better safer options
Chest biulder?
Maybe
Is it good for developing hip strength?
Now we could be on to something but there could be safer options.
Is there another exercise that stimulates overall growth like the squat?
There is not!
It stands alone, a full range squat is working every muscle under the bar stimulating the whole system, which causes most discomfort, which is why it's not popular.
