squats. Jesus.
here's what do to people when I try to explain how really poor a movement the squat is.
I get them to squat right where they are standing. a squat is one of the most unnatural movements your body will ever perform in a gym. just the constant adjustments one must make constantly thru just the negative part of the rep should tell you it's a movement the body is not comfortable with.
now put 315/405/525 on your back and do it and it's supposed to be 'better'?
nevermind the compression it puts on the spine on top of the unfamiliarity with needing to move several joints in that manner.
if people would just 'listen' to their bodies, instead of doing 'what your supposed to' there's be a lot more impressive physiques walking around.
Are you aware that you're denying decades of biomechanics and physiology which has shown squat to be:
1. Most natural movement.
2. Most beneficial movement in sports (any kind)
3. Safest movement
LOL, you're one arrogant MOFO.
Oh and squat is natural movement. If it's not then well, you're one hell of a cripple.
These only reason squat is unnatural movement to anybody is sitting on a chair for so many years that you loose your flexibility. Squat develops glutes, hams, lower back and quads (VMO!) which results in:
- protection of joints
- less risk o an injury
- STRONGER and HEALTHIER back (spine compression, ahahahahahhaha, OH BROTHER)
There are tons of studies about this, especially on olympic weightlifters. My advise would be read literature and studies before sharing your "opinion" because someone could potentially listen to your jibberish and get hurt.
