Do you still SQUAT?

[bigp3]

I did them and deadlifts the first 3 or 4 years I lifted but rarely do them now. I don't know what it is, but anymore it is like a roll of the dice with either one of them with my back locking up. For some reason squats and dl's make my back lock up and I am fucked for 3 or 4 weeks, so I just don't fool with them anymore.

FYI I am 6'3" 260lbs at 11% BF and still growing without them

Squats rocks... I am probably the only person to do em in my gym. Free squats, that is, in the smith usually there is a waiting line.

Deadlifts are even cooler.. love to see the bar bending

Squats are the most complete exercise for the lower body. You cannot grow big legs and butt without squatting. Period. I go very heavy squatting on the Smith machine and lighter at the free squat. And it's true, women LOVE a round hard ass. If you keep your legs wide open while squatting, you will hit the glutes much more than the quads.
Long live squats!

I am not a big fan of squats and vowed I would never do them after my football career was over but I still do them. They are definitely one of my cornerstone exercises.

every Sat morning.....if you want to grow big, you gotta squat.

I love squats. I go all the way down ham to calf.

I have had significant ham development since I starting deep squats a few years ago. If you are lagging in the ham department try deep squats. They are my bread and butter excercise for legs.

I incorporate leg presses further on down the line in my leg workout and I only do one legged presses....no sense in wasting my time stacking up the leg press with plates.

If you aren't doing squats and deads you shouldn't bother going to the gym.
