[anabolichalo]

67:40 Another reason why I hate commercial gyms.....Dude on the bench pres repping 65 pounds.
Dude stay in your fvcking office /dormitory and do pushups.That goes for the gumby's doing shadow boxing,rope jumping,tai chi moves in the mirror,using the squat racks for over head presses with nickels on the bar,morons doing pushups taking up floor space...I'll take my garage and power rack in my mirrorless silent garage anyday !

those fucking 5-3-1, 5x5 startin strength twinks

I think a lot of people who find squatting uncomfortable or find it injured them or was a useless motion didn't have, not to their fault, the body made to squat.

guys who have good squats will know what I'm talking about. flexible hips. good balance. joints (not just knee) that are pliable but still maintain strength.

imo if you have flexible hips your made to squat. if your body is too rigid it's going to an uncomfortable movement and hurt you.

someone w a good squat can stand in a rack regardless of the weight on his back and be completely comfortable thru the entire range of motion.  

if you want a good test if you are made to squat take a relatively heavy weight and very slowy descend. if at any point thru the descent you start to pitch forward or roll your back stay away from the movement. guys w the right hips can lower a great deal of weight very very slowly and have their hips move properly enough to be comfortable thru the entire range of motion ass to floor.

imo a good squat is all abt how flexible your hips are. I'm not a squat fan for most people as they can't open up their hips enough to do the motion properly.

99% of the people will get instability issues at a certain weight and point during the motion.

The other 1% are the elite.

[Psychopath]

What about deadlifts?

FUCK SQUATS, ME NO LIKE.

[Coach is Back!]

Yup, no question about that along with squats being ineffective.

Not sure where you're coming up with that. Maybe you never learned to squat properly. Maybe your ego thought you could go heavier than you really could. Maybe your set/reps were wrong. Maybe they were just ineffective for YOU. Maybe you already had that in your head. Maybe you didn't squat enough. But as a whole, saying that squatting is ineffective is a load of shit.

[Coach is Back!]

is there any scientific evidence that we need compound movements at all

wouldnt your legs look the same with leg extensions and leg curls?

who dares to question ?

Yes...but you'll have little luck finding a study targeted for bodybuilding. So you have to use commonsense when reading other related studies.

[Coach is Back!]

who needs squats anyway

You do. They look conditioned but you have no size. Remedy - Squat.

If you were compared on stage in a line up they'd mark you down for thigh gap.

haha i knew either you or the trainer would say that

I find it interesting that many of the same folks that are happy to proclaim that certain movements can cause injury and should be avoided (behind the neck press, etc) are the same folks that say, "squat, period"

For some folks, squatting isn't worth the injury risk. Squats are not absolute.

The ability or lack of it to perform squats has a lot to do with bone lenghts/proportions.
My femur is 2 inches shorter than my tibia so squats are easy for me. Going all the way down only feels easier to me.
Is femur lenght is greater than tibia and spinal cord an athlete will strugle to go near paralel without a couple of bricks in the heels.
Squats are not for everybody.

The ability or lack of it to perform cock squats has a lot to do with cock length/proportion.
My cock is 2 inches shorter than my boyfriends so cock squats are easy for me. Going all the way down only feels easier to me.
His cock length is greater than mine and any anal passage will struggle to go near full length without a couple of dabs of lube.
Big cocks are not for everybody.

Halo has the best quads of anyone in this thread, by far. except bigRo,who is am elite BBer on pro cycles/

people seriously need to post a pic, or shut the fuck up.

Squats.  they are an exercise.  period.  fucking dogmatic imbeciles think they are something special, LOL

and you'll notice, the people having a stroke and calling you a "pussy" if you don't squat...are the genetic have-nots. the only gratification they receive from lifting weights is being "hardcore" and poundage.

 who fucking cares.

I'm taking a break now from weights and focusing on body-weight exercises.

This includes body-weights squats and after doing this exercise almost every day for the past few weeks all the little aches I had in my knees have disappeared.

They are special when done right. For one thing they stimulate proper deep breathing.

i don't get what all the fuss is about. if you're able to squat then squat, if you find it a bit taxing or you're worried about breaking a nail or smudging your lipstick then just do something less demanding. no need to justify anything.

Halos legs look great to me, plenty of size for that kind of conditioning

[PuckWhacker]

I've always squatted and it has been very beneficial for the sports I play.  I have hurt myself doing them before, but it was ALWAYS when I was trying to squat too much weight.  With the correct weight and good form I think you can remain injury free.  They are very taxing to your whole body and if you really put the effort in you will be exhausted when done.  This is the reason lazy bastards try and justify not doing them.
