10 reasons NOT to barbell squat - prepare for meltdowns by the hard men

[kyomu]

I love squat both heavy and light. But honestly , i feel heavy squat is not good at all for human body

[calfzilla]

Only a big girl's blouse complains about doing to squats.


Dorian used to squat all the time, I havent the slightest were the idea he failed to arose from.

Came straight from Dorian. Said he never did squats as a pro. Watch starting at 5:30.

I did regularly squats and liked it, until the day I got problems with the cervical spine. The more weight I could take, the more problems like muscle tension and headaches appeared. Seems it dont works for me.

What do you think about front squats ?

i'm actually also thinking front squats might be a little better for the upper part of the spine

but generally it also seems bad for the spine

[anabolichalo]

Halo, Ronald Dean Coleman squats perhaps you should reconsider your advices?

brian dobson destroyed this beautiful man


his spine is fucked on several places

hips are gone

Obviously squats are bad for the hips

i used to squat real hard 3 times a week when i was a natural homo

my right hip used to feel a bit shitty and clicky

i still have it a bit but i'm glad i stopped this medieval exorcise

I've only done squats twice my whole life. Both times my hips and knees felt really sketchy like a major injury would occur any minute.

[Conker]

it probably boils down to genetics. take athletes in proper sports, you get some that can go their entire career without a serious injury then you get others that are injured more than they're not.

if you have genetically fragile tendons/ligaments/cartilage don't bother squatting or doing anything else too strenuous.

[Donny]

The real reason why guys don't squat has nothing to do with injuries.  Squatting is hard work and most avoid hard work. Most guys love lying on a padded bed pushing a weight then do a couple curls calling it a day.

a padded bed...

[Powerlift66]

I squat when i feel like squatting or when im working on power/explosiveness, and dont squat when i dont feel like it.

Zactly ^^^

HEAVY squats are shit
squats (preferably front) with a minimum of 15 reps is where its at

quads just dont respond to low reps anyways growth wise

yeah ronnie coleman did squats but look at him now hes CRIPPLED

[MONSTER_TRICEPS]

Reason # 6

The structure of the spine does not suggest that it is suited for top heavy loads. (source).




Then why on earth has nature designed us with arms attached to the top of the spine? To not pick up anything?

Squats are a great exercise that give you a great workout even if you choose to not do anything else for the remainder of the session.

I'm surprised Halo is anti-squats considering he built great quads naturally thanks to regular squating sessions.

yes but maybe i could have built them on the leg extenshon just as good if not better

i'm just scared of wheel chair land like ronald coleman

I think Coleman is the type of person who probably lifted heavy even when going through niggling injuries. We haven't seen every workout of his so we still don't know many of the things he could have attempted in the gym which may have caused the problems.

I think if you lift smartly, give your body a break from time to time and avoid ego training, you shouldn't have any issues.
Squatting can even prevent injuries in the long run due to the power it helps develop and the strengthening of bone.

This is the man to hear about whether to or not to squat:

Whach and learn.

[da_vinci]

Tell this to a 54yo fella I know who's a powerlifter, and has been doing that for the last 30+ years. Not a single injury and his poundages are still insane. I've been quatting for the last 10+ years, never go insane weights, just merely below my max effort, good to go, a great overall exercise.

BTW - goos luck at achieving "dat ass" without squats. Sometimes I see guys with good quads, but flat pancake butt.. not a good look.

[_aj_]

Heavy squats atrophy triceps too apparently.

I have heard that squatting leads to global warming.

Makes u wonder when he talked about Ghana....most gyms outdoors in the sand...guys lifting pieces of iron...wooden benches....no supps...no fancy machines...and great physiques.
We're some delusional mofo's sometimes in this country...making basic resistance training  like brain surgery
