The inspiration for this thread is an article on elitefts here it is if you didn’t see it-

There are some funny personalities on this site, so I would love to hear, squats: why do you do them?

2

I have it on good authority that they cure cancer.

Edit: I should have read the list first.

3

Because I’m an elitist and doing squats lets me look down my nose at the rest of the gym-going population

4

Because they keep my body and my knees strong

5

Squats are what separate us from the animals.

Well, except for Dave Tate.

6

To get in touch with my inner woman.

i squat as an attempt to make up for being a BOF most of the time.

11

Wassa BOF, meat?

12

They’re fun.

13

Because every time you do a leg extension a child starves.

A conversation I overheard at a local powerlifting club:

Lifter 1: How’s the knee?

Masters lifter (58yrs old): Not good today. I can’t walk, but I can squat.

Lifter 2: I’d rather squat than walk!

16

They help me C%J and Snatch more.

17

I heard Bob Lutz say that squats slow down climate change

18

I love the 1205 squat dump video at the bottom… You see, I would be totally safe attempting something like that. Almost certain to not get squished… because there is no way in hell I could un-rack the thing.

19

So I can poop better.

Poop.

To get big…I’m too skinny…
