The squat is one of the best muscle building exercises out there. However, its also one of the most difficult to execute safely and effectively. I recently read a good post by Dante of DC Training fame, who presented a good analogy for executing a squat. He described the execution as a similar movement to lifting up a swiss ball by squatting down (rather than bending over). The legs would be shoulder width apart and feet facing out and you would drop your ass down between your feet, with your knees travelling out the way (and around the swiss ball, rather than your knees travelling forward into the ball). This way, a lot of stress is taken off the knees and the back does not need to bend over as much. It also allows you to go deeper.
