stay dyel, i only do front squats and low bar squats and my legs are massive, weights are great too. calves are good cause i used to be autistic about them and trained them 4 times a week when i started lifting(3 years ago)
big legs are gay and gross
Squats have consistently been proved to be the workouts that induce more HGH generation.
Broscience, any increase is negligible
Squats existed before Rippetoe zoomer.
I'm not a zoomer. It was only around 2010 when people started getting obsessed with squats and SS.
>Squats existed before Rippetoe zoomer.
They existed and nobody did them outside of track and field. Bodybuilders sued machines. Powerlifters were so rare they basically didn't exist.
>people that actually did sports used squats
>drug addled retards sat on machines
you don't say?
>nobody did them outside of track and field. Bodybuilders sued machines.
Literal moron

Damn 13 years lifting let’s see the results. You won’t because you’re a dyel zoomer.
You didn’t play sports in high school.
How long have you been lifting for? I distinctly remember squats not being a big deal pre-SS. When SS started to get shilled online everyone acted like it was impossible to make gains without them.
>You didn’t play sports in high school.
I'm not American, so I did more sports and was in better shape than you and anyone you knew in high school.
Nta, here's my squats. Now post yours
heavier than mine but I don't need glasses so I guess we are tied
>hips out of sync with torso
K enjoy dying retard
Isnt it bad to lock your knees when you come up like that?
absolutely
no, your joints are made to lock out and are strongest that way
No, only if you press with your toes, if you spread out the base, it's harmless.
You squat without locking your knees?

You're right, but as a home gym haver there aren't that many quad exercises I can do with only free weights.
Rippetoe is insane
>"Olympic weightlifting coaches just don’t know what the hell they’re doing"
>hates the trap bar with a passion
>hates machines and cables
>hates anything that isn't a barbell
Trap bar is a useless DYEL contraption.
Machines are fine, but you need a baseline level of strength and form competency with free weights first.
Cables are great.
Trap bar dl are God tier.
Even some powerlifters use it, atheletes use it, it's one of the best bars ever invented
american weightlifting coaches are retarded, yes.
trap bar is garbage, yes.
machines and cables are garbage, yes.
anything that isn't a barbell is subpar, yes.

>Squats are the most overrated exercise in history due to Rippetoe and his online following of nerds
Correct.
Maybe, but if you have a home gym they are almost a requirement unless you have the insane amount of real estate for all the equipment needed to hit those muscles without squats.
I agree but also they are a great lift and should be a part of everyone's routine BUT that doesn't mean you need to do heavy squats
post squat
I lost 2 inches of height from heavy squats.
low bar squats are for fags
Zercher or front squats a few times a week is all you need for nice looking legs.
No. Squats are great.
Platz said something about squatting through your nose. I tried it today and it was a revelation for me. Based Tom
