Nobody cares about squat, but they are all over the bench press. Hmmm....

yeah... but it's nice to know guys like us who squat can wear a set of swim trunks and not look like a putz for having chicken legs

Squats

I think that if you are not squating ...you must start..lifting is nothing without the squat.
squats are my favorite lift ,,,I can bench over 500 but squats are a true test of strength.
I'm a powerlifter and can't wait till my next squat workout . If you have not hooked the jump stetch rubber bands to your squat bar you need to try this , your squat and legs will get huge .hook at least 300lb of bands to the bar ..do 10x2 untill you miss a rep do this for 4 week then max out also use a box . Most bodybuilders dont know how to do powersquats thats why they hurt you knees and back. read all West Side barbell articles about squating and get the videos you will gain about 300lb on your squat and they will become your best lift. I know that some bodybuilders dont like to do them because they make you midsection to thick and strong . also I can squat about 800lb 650 off a 12 inch box for 2 reps

Actually you bring up a good point when it comes to squats. I'm ~6'2 and sometimes squat with this short Italian fire hydrant who squats maybe 100 lbs. more than me. I would concede he is stronger than me, but not as much as it seems, because his range of movement is about half of what mine is with his stubby hairy little tree trunk stumps he calls his legs. Hell, when he spreads his legs apart to squat, he probably only has to move the bar about 6 - 8 inches to perform a 90 degree squat. Plus he's got a huge ass and a thick wide waist and is hairy like a fockin grizzly---so you can imagine what the chicks look like that he gets----probably the same.

I don't care how strong that mf gets and how much he can squat, I wouldn't want to look like him for anything.

hey extreem

No videos but there were pictures of me in Powerlifter june 2000, I can't wear wraps they cause me lose balance, and squat suits just don't look cool....ha...but I positively had a belt on, I hope to have pictures in musclemag soon, my training partner is in there this month towards teh back ,Mark is his name it's a photo shoot for an arm workout, the pictures are about two years old though....
