I have never seen someone who focused on "squatting heavy" who was a good athlete or looked like they lifted. PPL is a scam Redditors invented to make you look DYEL despite an obsessive gym routine, starting strength is a guide to speedrunning obesity. FUCK squats, do fucking anything else that replicates a more sensible muscle activation chain if you need to hit legs.
>>77539987I ride my ebike without power for leg day, it's legit cuz it's like 80lb
>>77539987Squats make you mentally into not a lil bitch so that you can also push yourself on other lifts
>>77539987Im glad white boys are becoming twinks for big muscular black bull dick
>>77539987NFL players squat heavy, retard
Yep, you are 100% spot on. What a dumb fad it was, you can do leg press and some extensions and rdls once a week for great legs.
Jon jones squats 500 for repsThis is a trooned wog spam though.
>sensible muscle activation chainWtf is this faggot talking about
>>77540060Jon Jones got retired by Tom Aspinall without a single punch thrown.
>>77539987Literally every single bodybuilder you have heard of, every NFL player, every Olympic lifter, everyone who looks like they lift, squats heavy. What the fuck are you even talking about? Why did you make a thread before thinking for one second first?
>>77540026Gosh you've been here a long time huh. You must have an amazing physique. Care to share it?
>>77539987What does squatting heavy have to do with PPL or reddit?>do fucking anything else that replicates a more sensible muscle activation chain if you need to hit legs.What the fuck are you even talking about?
>>77539987Squats are good for you. Dont over do it, but one leg day a week is all you need
>>77540026Right still looks better than left. Then you just cut the fat and look amazing.
>>77540556>cut the fat and look amazingThats the problem. This never happens. People get so obsessed with big numbers, that the thought of losing their PR to cut bodyfat gives them anxiety.So then you now have fat bloatlords who were supposed to cut, double down on being fat and weighing 300lbs deadlifting 350lbs
>>77539987You've never seen a vagina either, but they exist.>>77540026>>77540564>A.I slop and a reddit capFucking faggot.
>>77540018BasedBrb gotta strap weights to my non-e-bike
>>77540564elite human capital
>>77539987> PPL is a scam Redditors invented to make you look DYEL despite an obsessive gym routine, starting strength is a guide to speedrunning obesity.So what other method do you suggest?
>>77539987I haven't squatted heavy for years. Just do leg press hack squat or even leg machines. Keeps it proportionate and nice and actually has utility then.
bss and front squats are athletic af. i do 3x full body starting each session with one of these or deadlift then i do a push, a pull and a random accessory (abs, grip, etc depending on day). it's perfect imo. i feel no need to low bar squat.
>>77540762An hour of pushing yourself and having fun, writing down what you did but not meticulously planning everything, two to six times per week.
>Tell /fit/ getting fat and doing low bar fat sits and stuffing your face is bad>they chimp out wow
>>77541111>be a nonlifter>make your judgement of lifting routines based on memes>share your ""opinion""" over and over every single day>nobody caresWow so illogical, everyone should stop lifting because some fat 39 year old has decided it's stupid.
Imagine if the TOW's parents kicked him out of the house.Would he just slit his wrist immediately?
Yep, big legs look horrible. The only people who stil advocate for them never moved on from 2012 when starting strength was all over /fit/ and reddit.
>>77539987I like hack squats. Actual barbell squats aren't worth it. Too annoying and nobody gives a fuck. "Oh strong legs n longevity n shiet bro" yeah I'm sure the 110 year old grandma's still walking around in Brazil or Japan were prolific squaters... Only OHP is mog worthy
>>77540186Tom Aspinall also squats a fuckton thoever
>>77540202>NFL Playerfat>Olympic lifterfat
>>77539987bodybuilders squat medium if anything, not heavy they also use it as one of many different leg workouts, they dont solely focus on squats thats said PPL is fine with a bodybuilding focus
Big legs are for power bottoms basically.Also, squats and deadlifts are the most useless exercises that send you to Snap City for free. I'm sure the new jeet janny would disagree, but he knows nothing about fitness and is a DYEL little bitch.
>>77541909You are a skinny white boy twink bottom bitch with a skinny bussy built for big cocks
all jon had to do was eye poke tom
>>77541143jesus "quad sweep" is fucking nasty I'm gonna be careful not to accidentally train the vastus lateralis
>>77539987Most runners and other athletes do 1/4 - 1/2 squat and leg extension to limit how much knee stress it has. The whole to parallel thing is a huge larp to begin with.
>>77541907being honest, right looks substantially better here even if he's not aesthetic.
>>77541917Wow, great projecting
>>77541998retarded takeleg extensions will murder your knees and squats are safer when done below parallel or atg
I squat between 135lbs and 180 on a good day :3
>>77542030Well maybe you should you be the coach all these already peak functioning athletes need.
>>77541143The opposite is true as well. Chicken legs with a huge upper looks stupid.
>>77539987lol never going to have developed legs without squats. Starting strength Heavy barbell 3x5 5x5 squats are not even that stressful and they give you a big return in strength and aesthetics. You could do heavy dumbell weighted vest bodybuilder squats for slightly higher reps little more lower then parrelel for more pumped aesthetic look but this is even more of a normie lifter filter the low bar barbell is better longer time investment.tldr none of you faggots lift here anyways.
>>77540492>What does squatting heavy have to do with PPL or reddit?I was about to ask this. To me it seems like PPL is a perfectly rational way to split your volume, and has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are a powershitting rippletit or not.
>>77542451you dont have to go heavy with legsi get more gains going medium and ramping up the intensity5-rep squats aren't going to grow your legsno one cares how much you can lift
I just like squatting and other leg exercises. The quad pump feels godly, orgasmic even.
>>77540564Kinda weird how people have to do this. What is he on the left? 175? I hit 315 while weighing 175.
>>77540022dyel jeet post
>>77541143>skips upper body to focus on legs or shit upper bodyv.>two athletes who do train legs but with better upper body genes and one clothing model who are all more proportionally developedIt's almost like training legs wasn't the problem.
>>77539987
>>77540022makes you wonder what even goes through a 5'5 130lb brown boy's mind when they type shit like this out
>>77540024they are morbidly obese much like powershitters, there is a pattern here
>>77541904You don't even work out. You are a useless piece of shit who spams the board with your terrible opinions. The world would be a lot better without you in it.
>>77545367Yet still could out run and body you and me.The squat The power clean the row the bench press the overhead press and chinup are essential lifts especially in wrestling. Fucking kill yourself dawg. Pls delete ur 4chan account IMMEDIATELY Mma fighters squat too
>>77545387Jon Jones squatting
>>77545387The simple fact is that everyone who is muscular and strong got that way by lifting heavy weights, almost always involving squatting, deadlifting, and pressing heavy barbellsAnd this includes the top athletes in most sports now. Football, baseball, MMA, BJJ, bodybuilding, whatever. Anyone who says it makes you fat and slow is a fucking retard, end of story. There is like ONE retard on here spamming this opinion all day every day. Don't listen to him. If you want to be big and muscular, do what other big muscular guys do and get strong and lift heavy weights.
>>77540564ive noticed this thing where redditors post their 3 plate deadlift. its a fucking embarrassment. i weigh like 50 lbs less than him and deadlift more without straps and my deadlift is shameful. i dont know how someone would post this with their face in it. its so weird to me.
>>77539987based>>77540021cope
I remember coming here during college and asked how to get faster for club hockey, people told me to start doing starting strength and it made me noticeably slower and in worse shape. Athletes aren't doing low bar squats, they're doing vigorous cardio, sprints, and stuff like that.
>>77545387you yes but those fatties could never outrun me
>>77545438Athletes are squatting just not lowbar. High bar and front squat are foundational to most sports. Cleans are also popular for power and athleticism.
>>77545710No they're not. Every sport I played was focused around cardio and conditioning.
>>77545438Yes, they are you idiot. If getting strong made you slow you're just genetic garbage>>77545728Every sport you played is dominated by big strong 200+ lb men. How did they get that way?
Squat is king. Don't let /nufit/ delude you that you are incapable of squatting and having a good upper body
>>77545386he's black and larry wheels does bodybuilding style training as wellalso black dont even need to workout to get buff lol but for everyone else powerlifting wont do shit hope that herniated disc works out for you
>>77546225There are infinite examples you faggot retard loserLiterally everyone big and muscular, with few exceptions, lifts heavy. It isn't possible to get big and strong without actually lifting heavy weight.
>>77546225are you against squatting or just heavy lifting in general? Do you even bench 2pl8?
>>77546238He literally doesn't exercise. He doesn't even do the cardio or plyometrics or whatever he always advocates on here. His opinions are 100% derived from memes, and he spams them nonstrop.
>>77546238im against powerlifting and this retarded idea that the only way to get a nice body is squatting heavy to the point you get a herniated disc >>77546232>It isn't possible to get big and strong Again no one cares how much you can lift. There's plenty of way to increase intensity and build nice legs without being a powershitter. Hack squats, RDLs, pendelum squads, BSS, Sissy squats, etc used with high-intensity sets like cluster sets, drop sets, pause sets, high-rep sets can yeild you great results. You're like a christian that wont accept god isn't real.

Hack squats, RDLs, pendelum squads, BSS, Sissy squats, etc used with high-intensity sets like cluster sets, drop sets, pause sets, high-rep sets can yeild you great results.I used to do 10x10 with super slow reps and my legs were destroyed for a few days. Never had to go above 135lbs.
