yes scared for the amount of weight on the bar, i should get intimidated by the weight i use, thats the only way i can maintain strict focus.

you can call from the safety of your locked car, and ask the girl at the front desk to send out one of the bigger guys, to walk you in.

That's why you carry pepper spray, a panic alarm, and a glock 27 in your fanny pack, silly!

Before the leg workout.

same, there is always an element of risk when training legs particularly squats.
You just gotta be 100% in

i dont agree. squats dont do shit for me. never have.  i do what works for me, not what others say works for them. and definitely not what is considered " hardcore" just so i can feel "hardcore"; thats moronic.

my theory = any thing involving a muscle contraction = growth. how much growth depends on the rep range where you hit complete failure. and where you grow depends on what muscle was used for the contraction.

no the burn in leg extensions is greater than both squat and hack.

Before talking about theory, i think you perform squat too heavy.
Do full squat with only one plates each and try to acomplish 40reps...Lets see what happen.
Squat is that important.

why the fuck are you afraid of squats? doing them with a weight you can handle, in a squat rack with a belt and after a proper warm up, the chances of you getting injured are near impossible.
