He's a fucking moron. Ok squats work for you so they must work for EVERYONE

no you are a unique snow flake and your body is completely different from everybody else

how do you people think medical science exists if everybody is different

squats can work for everyone sometimes it just takes more time to get the form right,hacks are better for isolating the quads though.

Being 6'2" I'm just not built for squats. How tall are you bitch?

Nice excuse, shit head.

My training partner in college was 6'4" and we both rocked 4-5 plates for reps with squats whenever we trained legs.

I'm not juiced, I'm 41 years old and unless I do decided to take that option, the likelihood of my legs continuing to grow is pretty small. I like to squat, but I find one legged leg presses seem to be working well enough for me also, without worrying about knees, lower back or neck issues. I always thought squats were a great exercise, but fuck, if I can maintain what I have with some energy left over, by doing leg presses, why not?

the mans a beast!

To be honest I'm more fan of the middle weight/light weight weightlifters. Their body/lift ratio is ammazing, the're like ants. Very athletic.

Not to say the super heavys aren't, it's just that they look like somethng bad is about to happend

Useless exercise for a BB (unless u wanna build a fat ass and child bearing hips)

Yes...they should be pulled from 99.5% of the Pro and college football, baseball and almost every strength program in the country because the Strength and Conditioning coaches are wrong

85 and 94kg class is the highest level of competition supposedly, i'm not sure

what weight class do you think is the most competitive?

I think mens 75kg. The lifters look very athletic and the way they press 200kg above their head is just something else imo. All of them are brutal strong, I'm just a fan.

those of you that have never squatted...please post pics of your legs to make your point

I like front squats. Most leg machines hurt my knees apart from certain leg press ones.

Squats are the absolute best builder of Bone Density for the entire Spinal region. This in itself should make the exercise a required mainstay as this region is especially important as one ages.

Measured here is the current World Record Squat Holder and his Spinal Region. What was found is that he was able to have over TWICE the amount of critical compression with absolutely zero damage with absolutely ZERO damage or degradation to any region in his spine/back.

https://www.thieme-connect.com/ejournals/abstract/sportsmed/doi/10.1055/s-2000-7417

DEXA scan revealed the highest bone mineral density reported to date. MRI revealed normal alignment, no evidence of disc herniation or compressive disc disease. There was no frank or neural foraminal canal stenosis. The estimated compressive force generated on his lumbar spine during the squat lift of > 469 kg doubles the previously reported critical compression force. This case study supports the previously described relationship between strength and bone density and redefines the upper limits of bone density in strength athletes.
