To increase squat, there is always, and always will be, the main thing- A BIG squat, and a squat. How many people do you know that squat a medium number? Nu-uh. It doesn't work that way. It's eithier big, or it's small. Now the main muscles of squat are- bicep formoras (back of leg), glutues maximus (bum), glutius minomus (lower, ver low back), abs, hip flexor (side of your leg), abuctors (inside of your leg), and erectors (lower back). Other muscles involved- quadriceps (upper leg), gostronemeches (calves), soleus (calves), traps (to rest the weight on). These are the main. The squat is a WHOLE body excersise. So... without these you cannot lift. But with them does help you a WHOLE lot. But like all excersises, diffreant positions will effect diffreant areas: a close squat is quads, farther apart is biceps formaras. So basically, stick your abs out, it WILL help in lifts, imagine it, keep the back erect and straight, flat, not rounded, have a WIDE stance, and work your ENTIRE leg in squats, as well as in your workout.
