Squats: Why Do You Do Them?

Transcendence

Because I like it when my jeans cut off circulation at the quads.

So wish this was a true statement – I do know they cure the mental pain that comes with cancer though :wink:

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! [/quote]
awesome,

because being small sucks

… because if I didn’t squat my subtotal would suck, and since my deadlift isn’t that great I’d pretty much be out of the running then…

Because I enjoy not fitting into jeans.

I’ve had these days.

I was #35

Because there are 6 guys waiting to do bicep curls in the squat rack

i Saw this yesterday,
“FIVE MINUTES!” Kirk is awesome
Plus what scott cartwright said about the girl with the walker squatting was inspirational.
i hate when people say “its bad for your knees”
if people who can’t walk are burying squats… i dont even know what to say.
squatting kicks ass

I’m sure all powerlifters want to give out the message that benching is “too” easy and deadlift doesn’t measure lifter’s whole body strength…
