Title: dorian yates: i didnt do a single squat as a professional bodybuilder
Post by: ratherbebig on November 29, 2016, 03:26:04 PM
"i used to do squats when i was younger. i read the magazines, everyone said it was the no 1 leg excercise. i dedicated myself to it for a few years when i was starting out. i got some injuries. i got some ok leg development... not great. then i tried legpress and hack squats instead. my legs exploded. much better. for me squats was really overrated, wasnt a good quad exercise. i didnt do any free weight squats as a professional bodybuilder. not a one single squat."

myth no 1 - "dorian did a lot of squatting in the beginning, building his base" - bullshit. he got ok results, not great, and then injured himself like many before him on the squat.

myth no 2 - "you have to squat" - obviously not.

myth no 3 - "you can see in the leg development if someone has been squatting or not"  ::)

are squatters the biggest bullshitters in all of bodybuilding ??

i myself do leg presses not once a week, not twice a week but three times a week.

i realize this is way too often for most people who rather take the easy route and squat once or twice.

You don't need to do squats. Myth. In fact for tall guys its harder to do. Everyone is wrapped up in the SOCIAL MEDIA WHORING of big asses sticking out and saying "My Girl Squats". They're full of shit.

Some of those Pro's I used to hang with did a leg workout in 40-45 minutes. That's all they ever worked out. The reason Pro's shut their mouths is because there will always be a big mouth saying "All drugs" "lazy" etc. etc. You'd be surprised what Pro's say they do and what they actually do. I will say this though...the 4-5 Pro's that I knew...all squatted. Oh well.

Some of those Pro's I pretended to hang with did a leg workout in 40-45 minutes. That's all they ever worked out. The reason Pro's shut their mouths is because they don't want my cock in there. You'd be surprised what Pro's say they do and what they actually do. Of course I have no actual idea because I've never met any. I will say this though...the 4-5 Pro's that I wish Iknew...all squatted. I only squat to pee. Oh well.

What are you trying to prove he did squats in the early years and built up a base then later on he stop squatting, if you can show me a pro bodybuilder that never squat in his life then i will drink my piss.

in M3 he said that he messed up his back.

And add Paul Dillett and Flex Wheeler (said that due to his broken neck) to the non-squats.

If you're juicing, then squats won't get you the results, reported in old school 20 rep squat routines, coupled with GOMAD. Gear fucks up your natural hormone production.

If you are natty, then squats will be a major growth hormone releaser , for the whole body, because it uses so many muscles, and it's especially effective just prior to isolation moves. Just go ATG, as ROM is important, and increase the weights gradually. You're building the body, not in a weight lifting contest.

And try using a squat safety bar. Trying to balance the bar on your back, is a cause of a lot of injuries. Again, your not training for Power Lifting.

He is saying that if you are pro bodybuilder, using pro bodybuilders drug stack, you don't have to squat to get bigger legs because with that amount of drugs you can stimulate your muscles enough for growth by walking. So if you take silly amount of drugs, insulin, all that crap, you don't have to squat to get results. Yippee, now every amateur and wannabe bb:r stops squatting because it is useless exercise, completely forgetting that these heavy multi muscle exercises are the best way to boost your growth WITHOUT the drugs  ;D

Had to lighten the weight on squats as have 3 surgical hernias and don't want to make them worse so squat light for volume after lots of leg extensions and focusing more on the extensions and legs honestly look better without heavy atg pause squats

Dillett was another guy who didn't squat, and he had some amazing wheels.

And that overrules all the hundreds of bodybuilders who have great legs and who squat? If you have Dillett's drug stack, genetics and sponsors to feed you, why don't you try? If you are so fucking afraid to squat because you suck at it, don't try to find excuses, just stop doing it  ;D

The leg press works great if you actually bend your legs. Most keep the back board upright and do shallow leg bends with a million pounds.
