Squats The Challenge

[TTT]

It's no suprise that the entire forum are squat dodgers.

hahaha, I was actually really keen for this challenge until I was reminded my body really doesn't want me to squat

[No Crust Racing]

Hey hey hey, I've got a wrecked ankle and I'm still squatting 3x a week for 3 sets of 10 reps, granted it's only a bit over 50kg, but that's more than half my body weight on a crap joint. Plus I'm stil doing SLDL and some lunges.

I'm also just about to buy a rack once I settle on a bench.

A dodger I may have been, but no more!

All I'm hearing is whitenoise

[No Crust Racing]

Must be the roids.

[TTT]

or the number of excuses per squat rep ratio

[No Crust Racing]

Already squatting 3 times a week don't need to excuse anything.

I said the entire forum.. you took it on yourself that I was talking about you.

so I assume guilt plays a big part here.

Why don't you squat 4 times a week? or 5?

well I've done challenge one, I wish my gymbros were up for doing squats more than once a week, instead of insisting on fluffing around with cables etc.

TTT are you a big fan of Starting Strength or just squatting?

Is it normal for gyms to not allow photos / videos? in mine it's expressly forbidden.

[TTT]

I'm a fan of any program that has people squatting many times a week.wether it's 3x5 or 5x5 or 10x10 I don't really care.

Was watching a dude doing squats on the smith machine yesterday....he only had 70kg worth of plates on the thing, but holy jesus his "form" was horrific - even considering there is no real correct form for using this stupid machine. He was almost literally touching the ground with his ass, but it was a very violent descent and more or less bouncing off maximum ROM. Made me cringe hard.

I wish I had knees that allowed this.

and hips

Does any part of your body work? Lol

You've not seen his FB display pic? Or wondered why he can be so heartless at times?

Ask your mum. Lol. Mum joke.

Everything works. Just not optimal.

Just saw this on another forum....

Farking magic that is!!!

Expect this to be used very frequently as my reply to a bunch of shit from now on.

tried Smith machine squats once, felt so unnatural and wrong that I'd rather not squat than do them.

If you don't use a smith machine, then what? Free weights? All our gym has is a smith machine.
