Notice how nobody besides women and powershitters talks about squats nowadays. Even pro bodybuilders and fitness influencers opt for leg presses and extension machines. I guess people realized the ego boost form seeing a big number on the rack isn't worth compressing your spine.
>>77242387good, im glad the squat rack is freed up now.
>>77242387Yikes you sound like a real bitch boy
>>77242387The tom platz style squat has been completely forgotten so yeah it's mostly powershitters now
I mean, bodybuilders are obsessed about having giant tits, why would they care about lower body?
>>77242387You need big well shaped glues to be truly aesthetics
people realized having huge legs just makes you look like shit and is even less practical than having huge everything else
>>77242436>>77242387You don't even lift? Post body?
>>77242387>muh influencers are influencing me reeee
>>77242483Why are you sheepishly requesting to look at the body of an obese brown virgin?
>>77242436Nah, in reality, it’s the hardest exercise so people avoid it but at the same time it’s the best exercise.
>>77242387>Squatting 3.5 pl8s>Next to a dyel twink today>Initially un-racked facing away from the rack while warming up>Figured it out, went and got a pussy pad from the hip thrust station and began his sets>Tried to squat 1 pl8 but couldn't go down all the way>Almost didn't re-rack because the hooks were a bit too high >Took the plates off and left them on the floor by the rack>Put on 10kg each side and tried again with a bit more success>Left without putting anything awayI think I got mogged desu.
>>77242589Did you get his number?
Why do squat manlets get so mad when you refuse to do their inferior movement?
>>77242436Maybe it's the power shitter in me... But instant respect when I see someone who trains legs. It's obvious too, and looks great.You don't fuck with a man whose thighs fill out his shorts.
>>77242581Most effort required, not the most difficult. Anyone can get big legs, it's literally a 2d axis unless you're impressively stupid and bow your legs.
>>77242387literally zero reason to even lift in modern society kek
>>77242786Quickest way to get big legs is to just be fat and go for a walk.
>>77242483
>>77242399The platz style is only possible if you’re like 5’4” like Platz. For him it was like sitting down and standing up. For anyone taller or with longer legs, you have to be a little more horizontal. Having said that, the powershitter Rippetoe squat shit is basically a glorified good morning that develops a giant ass and little else. Everyone who got suckered into doing it is damned.
>>77242387Blah blah blahTruth is few want to do the squat because its extremely taxing on the body. Few have the guts to do heavy squats. With the leg press you can do a lot more weight comfortably so its an ego exercise. Women are squatting mostly to increase the size of their ass for likes on instagram but the few men willing to still heavyweight squat are reaping a ton of benefits for not being cowardly little bitches.
>>77242387I go to a "serious powerlifting gym" with people who compete and no one does squats. Even the girls who do that NPC bikini thing and get top 5 never do barbell squats lol
>>77242436Having chicken legs looks a lot worse
>>77243338Well the bikini thing is not powerlifting, and that's a load of shit. Trust me, if you go to a powerlifting gym people at definitely going to be squatting.
>>77243395Nope there is like 3 power racks and 30 different meme machines and everyone spends time doing those. no one squats ever
>>77243404Sorry I refuse to believe you. There's no one that attends and competes in powerlifting meets who doesn't squat lol. What do they do? Just machines and memes, then head to a meet and load up a barbell and squat every 2-3 months?
I workout in multiple Golds in Tokyo and japs are obsessed with squat. Literally everyone does it, meanwhile leg press is always free for me. What’s funny is they do incredibly light weight(2 or less plates) for many reps and have stick legs
I just do bodyweight squats
>>77242387People realized you need the midget built (short legs long torso) to not injure yourselfIt's not worth the squeeze for most
>>77242780Squats are great for people who are short, fat, have wide hips and short limbs. These are all undesirable traits which signal an inferior neanderthalic genetic profile. Squats are bad for people who are tall, lean, have slim hips and long limbs. These are all desirable traits which signal a Superior Human genetic profile.It's just due to the physics of shorter levers and how the weight sits on the body, but the inferior overweight manlet has never been better than the Superior Human specimen at anything before. He sees the Human getting all the girls and getting all the praise and respect, he's more mobile and agile and better at sports and seems happy and well adjusted. The only thing the overweight manlet has over the Superior Human is the squat, where his number is higher despite being weaker, simply due to physics.So the overweight manlet seizes upon this, he makes the squat his entire identity. He parades around the internet (no one talks to him in real life) espousing ridiculous claims >SQUATS ARE THE ONLY EXERCISE THAT MATTER>IF YOU CAN'T SQUAT 4 PL8 YOU AREN'T EVEN A REAL MAN>IF YOU DON'T SQUAT HEAVY THEN YOU DON'T EVEN WORK OUT>THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON'T SQUAT ARE WEAKLINGS WHO ARE TOO SCAREDMeanwhile the Superior Human sees this in between having sex with beautiful women, and laughs to himself. What a poor deluded soul. He looks like a short ugly T-Rex. I hope he finds happiness in his little squat rack, lord knows he doesn't get it from anywhere else.
>>77243538>Squats are bad for people who are tall, lean, have slim hips and long limbs.Negro body>These are all desirable traits which signal a Superior Human genetic profile.
I got a home gym so there's no other optionSometimes I do Bulgarian split squats by holding plates but those are intense
>>77243538as an inferior fat manlet i hate that i have to agree with this post
>>77243611Just a bit of banter man. I have really bad proportions for squats they are just not a good movement for me to go heavy with. It's not anyone's fault, not a great failing of mine, just the way it is. But any time I bring it up some manlets start screeching at me and insulting me, really irritating. That's why I chose to bully on this day. You gotta play to your strengths brother can't change the cards you're dealt, good luck with your squats.
>>77243655Based.Same boat here. Long limbs and short torso. I squat 3 days a week, deadlift 2, and bench 3.... And my lifts still skew too heavy.
>>77243569Sheeeeeeeiit
>>77242397fpbp
>>77242387>I guess people realized the ego boost form seeing a big number on the rack isn't worth compressing your spine.But you can ego lift way more on a leg press than a squat, you fucking baby.
>>77243538>Squats are great for people who are short, fat, have wide hips and short limbs.>>77243465>People realized you need the midget built (short legs long torso) to not injure yourselfinb4 cope
>>77243538this is fuckign funny because a little over a decade ago every cunt online was giong on about how you have to squat and drink a gallon of milk a day and you have to make sure when you squat your ass goes to the grassthe amount of stupid people in this world is absolutely stunning
>>77243338>I go to a "serious powerlifting gym" with people who compete and no one does squats.So they're not doing one of the 3 big lifts you have to do in competitions ? Yeah sure "serious" powerlifting gym you got there anon
im a powersharter and i basically stopped back squatting unless its 90-100%rm for a few repssetting up is a hassle and other exercises are better for hypertrophy
btw westside did very few squats/deads volume wise and they were very very strong.
