If I could only choose one lift to do for the rest of my life, it would probably be squats 
-
Not because I like doing them...but because squats are so exhausting that I would probably burn the most calories and stay in shape 
-
It is a great compound exercise that targets the butt (if you squeeze at the top), quads, and hamstrings!
-
To do the squat, follow the steps in this video. If you have poor ankle mobility and have trouble doing the high bar squat, try placing two 5 lb plates under your heels 
-
Typically you should have a shoulder width stance, but I do a narrow stance to target my outer quads. Do what feels comfortable for you though 
-
And it is if your knees go slightly past your toes on the way down. Just focus on bringing your hips back (like sitting in a chair), while bending your knees at the same time ✅
-
Lastly, if you really want to train for hypertrophy, go past 90 degrees and as deep as possible. Ass to grass as they say
