Squat To Get Lean? Yep.

What business do we have discussing squats in a column called Burn? Shouldn’t we be talking about high-intensity interval training or the latest, greatest supplement/diet/programming to lean you out and shred you up?

Nope.

Squats are probably the most under rated body-composition tool in your arsenal. If you’re not squatting, you’re probably not getting stronger, not adding muscle as quickly as possible, and not burning nearly as much fat as you could if you were hitting ass to grass at least once a week.
