And you wonder why you have chicken legs!

Saw one of the chicken riders last night doing squats in the smith machine with 1 35lb plate on each side and doing half reps.

The shame is amazing to me.

By chicken rider you mean decent chest, skinny legs?

I never seen the point of doing half squats when full squats are so much superior in both muscle development and also easier on the joints.

Not so much even chest but bigger upper-body and tiny legs. Like being a cartoon superhero is their goal.

I don't see the point of half squats especially involving a smith machine.

Half squats will do nothing but hurt you. Its like slamming on the brakes in your car. Thats what your doing to your knees.

There are SO many of these types in my gym these days, and after their sets they walk around all tough. As far as I know, having an undeveloped lower body pretty much makes you a weakling.
