Title: A Great book to master Squatting by a true expert.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018
Review: I am writing a 5 star review not only of the book he wrote but the tremendous follow up he has undertaken on Instagram, Twitter, his new Squat University Podcast and on his own website. The book gives a great introduction to the technical ways to properly do a squat and its benefits. It goes through a lot of the most commonly found problems and their solutions. However because squatting is a movement sometimes static pictures don't do it justice, which is where his online content is so useful as you can watch his examples in short video clips. I've even tweeted him about issues I've had with my own squats and hes personally replied back. That's Awesome!

As I get older I realize how important it is to financially support products you appreciate. Could you be cheap and only read his online content? Sure. But I value his work and insight and his help he has given myself and others, so I wanna make sure the man gets paid and this is the most effective way I know how. Dr. Horschig has done a great job in helping us in the gym begin to master one of the most fundamental movements we need for success, and it's because of that I give my highest reccomendation.

Title: Simple Book for Beginners (Advanced Coaches Beware)
Date: Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017
Review: I have followed the author Dr. Aaron Horschig for a while on instagram. Man, that guy knows what he's talking about I still use most of the tips and advice I learned from his instagram account as a strength and conditioning coach as well as for my own lifts. So I decided to purchase his book.

I wanted to see Dr. Aaron Horschig dive deeper into correctives in his book. But thats is not what I found.

The Squat Bible is a great book for beginning lifters or coaches. It teaches the squat basics of each fundamental squat patterns (back squat, front squat, overhead squat). The book then goes into a concept known as the Joint-by-Joint Concept, previously discussed in other books such as Mike Boyle's "Functional Training". Horschig then breaks down each joint and why they are important for the squat.

Pros:
-Easy Read
-Simple Concepts (Don't have to be in the field to understand the writing)

Cons:
-Price (25 dollars for 125 pages of basic information)
-The book felt like regurgitated information posted previously on his instagram account (why give info for free, when you can put it in a book and sell it)
-The concepts may be too simple
-Nothing new or groundbreaking
-Hoped for more correctives and screenings... didn't get it

Takeaway:
Overall this book would be great for a beginner coach or powerlifter trying to learn more about the squat.
But after reading the book once, it will just collect dust on the shelf because there is no information worth looking back on.

Title: Helpful for improving squats
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2020
Review: I have been having trouble with my squats, specifically I could not squat deeply, and my knees hurt. This book provides detailed instructions on proper technique for bodyweight squats, piston squats, and barbell squats. It also addresses why I was having trouble (my ankles and hips) and provides specific exercises and stretches to remedy the weaknesses. I can already see and feel improvements in my squats. Highly recommend.

Title: Buy It!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018
Review: No matter your skill level this book is a must have for any one who squats (which should be everyone). Aaron breaks everything down so its easy to understand, pictures to illustrate, and includes the mechanisms on why it works. It's not very in depth for advanced lifters, but it is a good book to study and keep around.

Title: Great resource
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017
Review: Great resource. Awesome tips on detecting weaknesses & issues that cause injury through improper form. Great advice on what to do about detected mobility & stability issues. I always thought my labral tears in hips caused my depth issues, but this book help lead me to the real issue: ankles/dorsiflexion. Also eased my mind with legit science on why deep squatting isn't inherently bad for your knees. Must read for trainers & gym rats alike

Review: Purchased this product (along with Knee Ability Zero) for my 61 year old father for Christmas. He absolutely loves it and has incorporated many of the principles and techniques into his training. Recommend this product to anybody who handles a barbell in training or simply wants to improve their health.
