The "Monty Wolford" (named after the man who made the exercise popular in America) was a three-phase variation of the squat done with bodyweight only.
In the first phase, place your hands behind the neck, squat down 6 inches, then back up. Ten to 15 reps of these, then on to the second phase, the bottom half of a full squat for another 10-15 reps, starting with glutes practically touching the floor and thrusting hips forward to rise back up to parallel, but no farther than that. The third phase was a full squat for another 10 reps.

Is Monty still alive?
I worked for him and also friends with him when he lived just ourside of a lirtle town of Oakhurst close to Yosemite.
He was working steadily as a stone mason contractor, and the last time I saw him, he had fallen off of a ladder onto his head. I visited him at his home in Reno, and at that time he was conscious, but the fall affected him to where he could not talk or move with any coordination.
I tried to phone his wife from San Diego, but his phone had been disconnected, and I lost contact with him after that.
when I last visited him, he could not move or talk. I moved to San Diego that year, and when I tried to call his wife, the phone had been disconnected, and I lost contact.
