OK, I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to weight training. I would never do a weights program that doesn't include squats and deadlifts.
At the moment I am avoiding training my legs. Unlike 95% of guys I experience EXPLOSIVE growth in my legs. I just think about them and they grow like you wouldn't believe. People often comment of how huge they are. As such, I am trying to get my upper body into proportion.
In any case I am still doing squats. I would never go without them. I only use the bar and don't put any weight on it, but I start EVERY workout with squats. It has simply become part of my warm-up routine now.
I feel there is something about the movement of squats that stimulates growth throughout your whole body. It's like a holistic exercise to me. The movement, activity and technique of squatting seems even more important than whether there is much weight on the bar.
I had someone tell me this was pointless and I was wasting my time. What do you all think?
