I'm Sorry But I Think Squats with Spotters Is the Gayest Looking Exercise in the Gym

[GenetiKing]

Are thick, full, sweeping quads "gay"...?

I used to train this really hot chick. Every guy in the gym envied me when I spotted her doing squats -- positioned right behind her like that, with my arms right under hers inches away from her breasts... I'm sure it looked very erotic.
Know what, laughing boy? When I was spotting her is one of the very few times I WASN'T thinking about nailing her. Because if either of us was distracted for one damn second from focusing on the lift, we both could have been injured. Badly.
I don't waste my time in the gym, son. If you're doing a movement you focus on the movement. She and I were there to train. Period.

I never had that problem because I never get spots on my squats, but then I have access to a power rack, I just put the pins at the bottom and go to failure- you can rest pause reps at the end too-like in 20 rep Squats.

What's gay is someone with 15inch quads. What's gay is someone who has to wear long pants all year round because their lower body is out of proportion to their upper body. 'Curling' is this you, are you gay?

When you can squat, then you have the right to express your views, until such time - silence my friend.

That's why I have a female training partner...

And she's a hottie, too. Now if I could just get her to shower with me after...... mhmmmmmm

If you use heavy weight a spotter standing behind you isnt worth much.....better to have one on each end. Besides I'm just not comfortable with people getting too close when I lift.

A squat rack isnt a great safety mechanism.....you have to get too deep before it takes the weight. Power-racks are all good though.....I prefer em over spotters.

Well I appreciate your honesty juicemonkey. But I thought the squat rack istelf is a safety mechanism while doing squats.

Dang, you trying to silence me dude? WTH(what the Hell) Besides I have bigger than 15 inch quads tell ya what I will measure tonight and let ya know tomorrow. Remember I do legs I just don't do squats. Squats were something I learned to hate from the piss ant loser high school football coaches that made you do them in off season.

Anyway I guess I struck a nerve with you and your spotter I'm sorry go back to whatever ya'll were doing.

With everybody agreed a chick is the way to go on the squat rack.(heck they even call it a rack if that ain't S&M type thingee I don't know what is.

WTH(what the Hell) .

LMAO

curling, it may look a little gay.. but going down on a squat and not being able to get back up and having the bar crash on the safety rails is way more embarrassing.

When I am doing my heavy sets, I can't trust a girl to spot me .. unless she is really strong and experienced.

and you don't squat? Squatting isn't a favorite of mine but I do think that is very necessary.. if not the single most important exercise I do. It works everything... and I am usually sweating my ass off , huffing and puffing, and I can barely feel my legs on my last set..

You gotta do them.. no pain no gain.
