I used to rattle off the "benefits" of squats like a used car salesman but now I just sum it up. They're a good exercise. End of story. ;D
If people choose not to do them, it's their loss. You don't have to load up 10 plates on each side or squat nuts to the floor, but pretty much any squatting is a lot better than none at all. My legs shrink quite noticeably if I don't squat.

20-reps squats = the best exercise.

1. Squats Create An Anabolic Environment.
This needs clarification
2. Maintain Mobility.
How so?
3. Increase Functional Strength.
Yes
4. Increase Your Vertical Jump.
To some degree
5. Increase Sprint Times.
To some degree
6. Entire Body Workout (almost).
Not really
7. Growth Hormones and Testosterone.
This testosteron increase measured did not result in increased anabolism
8. Sports and Performance.
Obviously
9. Increase Upper Body Strength.
Not really
10. Tone and Tighten Your Butt.
Tone is not a real term, and yes if you go low enough
11. Improve Balance.
Yes
12. Prevent Injuries.
Yes
13. Multi-Purpose.
Well, duh
14.Gain Flexibility.
To some degree, yes
15. They’ll Give You Great Abs.

I recommend squats for beginning bodybuilders, but a advance bodybuilder does not really need it.
-

Yes, this is key for 'testosterone release'. Make sure to go balls to the floor.
-
I'm no expert on the subject, but I find squats to be a great exercise for me.
I thought for certain that this thread would have 15 pics of various thick girls, so I'm mildly disappointed.

20 reps at what weight? How many sets?

*hip and knee degradation
*unaesthetic massive ass
*quads over power hamstrings
*worsens lordosis

Big asses on men is the new abs, bro

5. Increase Sprint Times.
sprinting is more related to psoas, hamstrings, calves, and foot sole muscles than quadriceps and spinal erectors
you have some other stuff wrong too but i only cared to address this
-
Right, agree with Dustin- squats are good- this isn't bodybuilding.com where we analyze the befits of this and that.. they work, their useful, but not necessary per gh15... USE HORMONES!!!
-

Yes "240" is actually his number of repetitions on this lift.

which proves fuck all, except that you're a gearhead... you don't even train or diet, you're too depressed
no drugs, no bodybuilding..
i used to do do 20 sets for legs, all to failure, squats, front squats, hack squats, leg press, leg extensions.. every workout.. worked good while i was a natty... i cant train like that on juice though, my muscles just dont respond to it.. a few good sets is all they neeed and all they can take..

I think you may be the first case of a person looking better natural than on the juice.
Congratulations.

you don't get injured either (probably/usually) like with 3.5 reps of 405 that everyone tries.
-

was probably alot bigger then than you are now though. :)
-
You probably were
As I am a lot stronger than you ever were before you started pinning your bum with needles ;)

correct those 20 reps say with 225 deep
better than 405 half or quarter squats

Leg press is a great exercise. No reason to knock it

Worked good??? ::) That doesn't make any sense at all! in fact what you did was a school boy error and ass backwards, Truth is you made poor progress when you were a natty. You copying a flex magazine routine of some random juiced up pro, got impatient and then resorted to gear...Why do you even take gear now anyway?
-
Drugs will do these to you too. ;D

Inspiring stuff.

not my cup of tea mate, however, my penis has been in a few (female) rectums ;)
-
Tbombz you can't even see your legs in that first pic and in the second they're barely wider than your arms.
-
no drugs, no bodybuilding..
Yup!!
-

squats are the best exercise for any bodypart, I don't care what anyone says. Nothing is more taxing on me than those and they make me sweat more than anything else.
-

-

-
ass to the grass. 225 x 20 reps or more reps if you can. no b..s. half squat or quatre squat
