Why don't you squat?

[Bananahammock]

I want to hear the best excuses on the misc as to why people don't do any kind of free weight squat or even air squat.

in b4 "I'm paralyzed from the waist down"

[Noxema]

Because I=Mayor of Snap City.

[4backcracks]

i squat. the reason why im consider stopping is because i have left right imbalances i may not be able to fix, and because i can make better gains in terms of hypertrophy with more targeted movements.

squats are amazing for athletes and people looking to improve general health, but lettuce be cereal, aesthetically speaking they are ridiculously overrated.

[robindswani]

i dont squat because i want to stay natural

[Jizzman]

Don't do your legs period - all of that potential mass and growth hormone will instead shoot into your upper body

[Uptown83]

I do squat and enjoy them. I use to hate them!

[DTJohnKimble]

I have a leg length discrepancy of about an inch (slipped capital femoral epiphysis). Stuck doing lunges, Single leg leg press etc. Everytime I start to add weight to my skqwat I just hurt my back and get extreme imbalances.

[OfficerJimLahey]

i squat but keep it pretty light. have a nerve issue in both legs i'm trying to get figured out/fixed at the moment but several specialists won't even work on me

[combatdepth]

Because they're lazy

I squat, sometimes twice a week and I'm missing a chuck of my right quadricep and I have two glass knees.

My d!ck hits the ground when I go parallel










Not srs

[Blowmahheadoff]

It produces too much test...

[FisterRoboto]

"Because my legs are big enough already."

Former gym partner used to tell me that one all the time. Meanwhile, all he wants to do is chest/biceps every workout.

[Ying2012]

I dont have too lol, have them biker legs i only leg press and extensions 3 times a week and thats enough and calfs one every often

[Bananahammock]

Because I am a vagina and have no real excuse.

makes sense

Squats and Dl's used to be staples for my leg day and I loved them, about 4 years ago now I started to get absolutely horrendous pinching/stabbing pain in my hips from either of these lifts. Being 19 at the time and not really thinking ahead I kept pushing through the pain up until the point where I was in agonizing pain almost 100% of the time. Took quite a few specialists to figure out what was really going on with the hip pain I was experiencing, I had shredded the Labrum in my hip to pieces, knocked a chunk of cartilage loose in my hip the size of a quarter which then wrecked havoc on the remaining cartilage. This occurred due to an underlying condition I had called Femoral Acetabular Impingement. Anyways, two hip surgeries later the problem is still getting worse and my hips are bone on bone in places (no cartilage). I'm now going through the motions of getting a resurfacing done (hopefully bi-lateral) so that I can have some sort of quality of life restored.

Needless to say squats and deadlifts are out of the question along with quite a few other lifts, unless of course I'm feeling like a masochistic. I still manage to get by with some isolation and limited ROM stuff for leg day.

I won't be able to fit into my 28" skinny jeans.

[alifeiregret]

[jakobi78]

[deadhead6391]

I do squat.

[Lastman13]

I do squat. However, I played catcher in baseball for years, which phucked up my knees so my squat is very weak.

sitting in this position for hours at a time = good night sweet knees

[PhilAUS]

i dont want to get bulky, just toned

[rjones416]

dont want to destroy my knees and back. why train legs when you wear pants most of the time anyway?

[IPlayRugby]

I squat but might have to stop or go light for a while. My knees are ruined... hurts jumping most the time and hurts 50% of the time when I squat. want them to heal so I can do heavy squats again

This. If you insist on training legs make sure you don't touch upper body the same day. The protein will get confused.
