If you don’t Squat, You Ain’t Squat!

Ironically, however, no exercise is more ardently avoided either. I’ve heard just about every excuse in the book for not squatting, and believe me, after rupturing a lumbar disk; I’ve had every reason not to squat my self. Despite my injuries, I Squat any way. Why? Because barbell squats are positively the single most result producing exercise you can do. I’m not suggesting that you ignore the advice of your physician if you have an injury, but if you are physically capable of squatting and you’re not doing them, you are compromising your results. Squats hype your metabolism, pump up your legs and make your whole body grow! Leg presses are OK, but they just aren’t the same. -------------- Success rests not only on ability, but upon commitment, loyalty, and pride.
