According to many professionals, squatting is one of the most common problems faced by almost every country around the world, particularly in the Philippines. However, although squatters are known for their notoriety in causing havoc and problems to neighboring residential areas and business districts, many professionals still consider the term squatting as a form of housing tenure, which is commonly known for its use to describe tenancy and owner occupancy. So what is squatting?
Squatting as Housing Tenure
Squatting is an act in which an individual or a set of individuals occupy an abandoned or unoccupied space without permission from the owner. According to many authors, including Robert Neuwirth, there are one billion squatters globally, that is, about one in every seven people on the planet. If an area of a city is populated with squatters, these areas are commonly known as the slums, shanty towns, or more commonly known as the squatters’ area.
Squatters’ areas are usually built on the edges of major cities and consisting almost entirely of self-constructed housing built without the landowner’s permission. However, according to many Real estate Philippines experts, these squatters’ areas may, in time, grow to become both legalised and indistinguishable from normal residential neighbourhoods. They start, however, with minimal basic infrastructure such as the lack of proper sewage system and drinking water.
According to Anarchist Colin Ward, “Squatting is the oldest mode of tenure in the world, and we are all descended from squatters. This is as true of the Queen [of the United Kingdom] with her 176,000 acres (710 km2) as it is of the 54 per cent of householders in Britain who are owner-occupiers. They are all the ultimate recipients of stolen land, for to regard our planet as a commodity offends every conceivable principle of natural rights. ”
Squatting in the Philippines
Philippines is one of the many Asian countries known for their problems in squatting. In Metro Manila, squatting is a major issue in Filipino society, especially in industrialized areas of the society. Squatting was started after World War II, as people built makeshift houses called Barong-Barong in abandoned private-property plots.
However, according to many Real estate Philippines professionals, the government have tried to relocated these squatters to low-cost housing projects, especially in Tondo (in the former Smokey Mountain landfill), Taguig (BLISS Housing Project), and Rodriguez (formerly Montalban), Rizal.

Back exercises are one of the more difficult exercises to feel. The reason is because form and technique are the variables that will determine if tension and overload are channeled into the lats and back. The next exercise I am demonstrating is bent over barbell rows. The key to performing this exercise safely and correctly is to maintain your center of gravity. First, grip the bar about shoulder width apart or a little closer. Next bend your knees and push your hips and butt backward, this will transfer your body weight back to the middle of your feet and heels. You are establishing your center of gravity and balance. Next bend forward with your torso toward the mirror in front of you. Your arms will remain straight and your elbows will be locked straight. Keep the bar in close to your legs through out the entire lift, this will protect your lower back. A point to avoid when performing bent-over barbell rows is having the bar stray out away from your legs. Start with the your arms straight and the bar placed at about middle of your shins. Pull the bar up to just above your navel. As I pull the bar up notice I allow my torso to raise up a little. This allows me to work with my bodies natural bio-mechanics and places less stress on your joints and tendons. At the top of the exercise you will notice I have an arch in my lower back. This is very important because maintaining an arch in your lower back will enable you to squeeze your lat muscles fully. Notice at the top of …

FORM AND POSITION VARIABILITY OF STANDARD, FLAT, BARBELL CHEST PRESS
(Robby Wilson, Owner/founder of Fitness Mastermind)
SHORT:
It is widely accepted among strength training specialist and fitness professionals that the wide grip chest press exhibits a larger torque on the pectoralis major, while close grip exhibits larger torque on the tricep brachii and anterior deltoid muscles. In addition, moving away from the nipple line in both superior and inferior directions results in an excess torque on the Glenohumeral joint. When positioning your legs, by narrowing the leg stance the base of support is compromised due to the loss of stability. In relation to common motion techniques, by pausing throughout the different phases of the lift (eccentric; concentric) you will inhibit the muscle spindles from interfering with execution of the motion. However, without the pausing effect you will activate less of the targeted muscles as a result of taking advantage of the “elastic series component” concerning the tendons giving a spring effect in order to push the weight off the chest.
CONCLUSION:
In terms of grip width on the standard flat chest/bench press, torque amount will be varied on the primary and synergist muscles in accordance. The wide grip exhibits greater torque on the pectoralis major muscle as the moment arm is longer (torque is equal to the force multiplied by the distance from the point of rotation, or the moment arm). Through the motion of a standard flat chest press, the axis of rotation when executing the lift is at the deltoid muscles. The close grip exhibits greater torque on the tricep brachii and anterior deltoid muscles as the moment arm has a greater length. Concerning the narrow grip of the barbell, the axis of rotation used is the elbow. Excess elbow torque is likely to yield great damage to the joint. The most optimal biomechanical position to incorporate is the wider grip as the deltoid is less likely to injury resulting from high torque than the elbow.
Concerning torque, superior and inferior movements from the nipple line/mid-chest will likely yield a high torque on the glenohumeral (Gh) joint that could result in the dislocation of the humeral head. Dislocation on the Gh joint could in turn yield soft tissue damage or impingement syndrome. The high torque results from a deviation of the normal lifting position. If properly executed, the standard flat chest press should yield low and safe amounts of torque on these stated joints.
In relation to the “sticking point” of the bench press, the bar path during the bench press travels along an arc, which rotates about the shoulder axis. In essence this takes place as a result of the shoulder being a ball and socket joint, yielding prevention of dislocations. This in turn, decreased the amount of force production throughout the motion of the lift. Also, since some muscles cross two joints, forces must exhibit synergistic qualities to move both. The barbell must utilize a more linear path to yield optimal force production, which will in turn inhibit the sticking point from occurring. Torque is created with an arc motion, thus decreasing force production.
In the case of the distance between the lifter’s feet, a wider stance on the ground yields an increased base of support. When base of support is compromised the body compensates by the recruiting core muscles to yield an increased stability and injury prevention.
