^^^ I tell them nutrisystem. wait for a reaction, and they are like "wow really? " and I start laughing and say I'm kidding. people want to believe in a magic pill, its human nature. maybe one day they will be walking on the beach and find a genie whom they can wish for eternal jacked body so they can stick to eating pizza, ice cream, and fast food.

There use to be a thread on this site a couple years ago that talked about all the funny stuff you saw and heard at the gym. It was a long thread. One that stood out to me was a guy brought a red plastic gas can to the gym to drink out of, LOL.

YOU CAN NOT POSSIBLY SQUAT PAST PARALLEL AND KEEP YOUR KNEES BEHIND YOUR FEET!!!!!
it cant be done,you would hurt you back first off and not to mention you would fall the fuck over!

It is true that is why knee injuries occur from squatting. Your ligaments in the knees are not strong enough to support heavy weight. If your knees extend past your toes your squatting incorrectly. That tells me your weight is sitting on your toes and not your heels and outside of feet like it should be. If you doubt this continue squatting that way and as you age your knees wont be worth a damn. I urge you to do research on the best squatters in the world. Watch their form, none of them let the knees extend past the toes.

I will explain how to squat. You begin by driving your hips back first. Then you lower your self down. When you get near parallel you push your knees out. Then to ascend you drive your head up, then your legs. If you begin the ascent with legs first you will fall over. The body follows the head if it goes up so does your body. If it goes forward so will your body. At all times your lower back should be arched and your entire body should be rigid. Your weight will be on your heels and the outside of your feet. Not your toes.
