Squats & Hamstrings

[chuckles]

Another argument for deadlifts is that they don’t require that a metal bar dig into your upper back.

That said, for the average person just looking for overall strength and fitness, and not maximum size, bodyweight squats are a very good option.

A good video about squats & lower back strength. Good video overall. you need to train lower back & squat.

Yes I do. The primary mover in those exercises are the spinal erectors. They extend the hip and as well as the torso.

No they do not.  You will not find a single credible source stating that the spinal erector muscles are primary movers in hip extension.  It is patently false.

Your understanding of biomechanics is deeply flawed, but it's never too late to learn.

I like how he has a special place for his brushes and dustpan yet the place is an absolute shithole

turning into a great Thread. Although people think it's a simple exercise the squat is complicated. Stands to reason as it trains the whole Lower Body.

Craig "Killer " Titus some of the best Hams ever. He gave up doing heavy squats for good...

Fucking gorgeous. Notice that when Craig is around EVERY other male instantly becomes a beta.


No man on the planet was sexier, especially when Craiggers was shredded.

for me squats are all quads. My hamstrings are better worked by deadlifts

Today is leg day...

[chuckles]

Must say you Sir seem wery knowegable in anatomy.
What is Your occupation if i can ask?  
And i heard that about sprinting.
Use some form of it running up and down a hump of sand.
Also jumps to front and side to side.
Of course Squat is my main movement.

Squats have to be the meat & Bones of any leg workout. Any serious workout. Hacks are OK but not the main exercise as some use them.

Try squats & Military press for upper Body. Standing press is also a Mark of real strength
