Crossfit athletes are no stranger to squats, in fact they probably do more squats than any other movement.
There are two reasons for this:
- Squats are a compound movement that benefit strength, aesthetics, and health.
- There are many squat varieties incorporated in Crossfit: back squats, front squats, overhead squats, cleans, snatches, pistol squats, etc.

We decided to look at how many squats Crossfit Games athletes are tested with over a span of four days.
