Therbreason for the squating is to break in you body in sumo shape.This type of squat`s that we do give`s us strong leg`s and flexibility at the same time.When I first joined I was forced to do 500-1000 squat`s a day,it`s a very good excercise for all kind`s of atlete`s the more you do this squat`s the more streght and flexibility you gain.
