Yes, I have seen it all. The weirdest one I have seen, was a person trying a back squat on a bosu ball. That is just a accident waiting to happen, I just hope he has good health insurance. A common one is a person changing up their feet position on the squat to hit a different area of the leg. What this all comes down to is with all the different variations, it won\u2019t increase your squat max. To truly increase your squat max, you need to squat more. A way to squat more is to eat more, so that you gain the muscle and energy to squat more. So, before you change anything about your squats, just eat more.<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peterfever.com\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-446\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"446\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/index.php\/2010\/07\/11\/monkey-feet\/squats\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/squats.png\" data-orig-size=\"843,622\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Squats\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Squats&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/squats.png\" class=\"wp-image-446\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/squats.png\" alt=\"Squats\" width=\"600\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/squats.png 843w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/squats-300x221.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Squats<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31027\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31027\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peterfever.com\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31027\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"31027\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/index.php\/2016\/04\/03\/spring-fling-power-lifting-meet\/squats-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Squats.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6s&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1459605753&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"More Squats\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;More Squats&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Squats-600x250.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31027\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Squats.jpg\" alt=\"More Squats\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Squats.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Squats-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">More Squats<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I see so many people at the gym trying the newest fad on different leg exercises to increase your squat max.
