Do you still SQUAT?

[BodybuildingUniverse]

I see so FEW dudes squatting anymore, everyone seems to be loading up the leg press. I like em too much to quit, just wondering if anyone has given them up...and why...

I dont do them all the time... they take to much out of me, and make me feel nauseous. I don't do them all the time cause my legs look good, and leg presses don't make me fear going to the gym. However, i do believe that squats are probably the best exercise for putting on mass. Just too much for me sometimes

I do them... but they suck

i agree with this statement, i still do them but sometimes unwillingly. i can understand why so many people dont even bother.

i have stopped squatting for about 6 months now. I got good genes in the leg department so i have maintained my size...but man i really do notice my overall growth has slowed since stopping. I have come to the point where i have to train legs after shoulders or another muscle because I simply wont go to the gym just to train legs....(weak, i know).

Squats and deadlifts make the whole body grow! I still do them with degenerative disc disease.

I make myself do them, but i do them on the smith machine. They dont hurt my bad knee on the smith, and it is more stable. They are a must in my opinion.-WULF

I squat 3x a wk, i will admit they are tiring but they hella make you grow more. also they give you a nice @$$ which the girls love.

Never did squats and can't. Too inflexible to get my arms around the bar. And I really want to do them too.

Just work on your flexibility then... you really should anyways if you cant even get your arms back far enough to hold onto the bar.
