When did you grow out of the squat meme? It's literally

post routine

Post your actual body bc that isn't you

>>39120098
Squat is literally a better version leg press since it doesn't follow a rail. And you can have that upper body even if you squat you white nigger.

>>39120098
This 100 percent. So many injuries could've been avoided... But desu, I don't even do legs anymore lmao.

>>39120098

Post legs ya dingus.

And obviously it's possible to not squat and have a killer physique, Dorian Yates didn't/doesn't squat.

>>39120296
Yeah minus the knee and back pain you inevitably get when you hurt yourself by messing up form a tiny bit

>>39120098

But squats are fun.

>le post your legs

Post your noodle ass arms, no abs, no chest. Good thing you're doing a program that's perfect for women.

Big Ass
Big Legs
No Upperbody
Little bit of chest for perking up those boobs

>hate squatting
>deadlift instead
>look better

Honestly yeah squatting is only decent for athletes

Ill admit Im pretty fat and look like shit but that's only because I fell for the "lifting heavy eating heavy" meme.

I did SS then Texas Method so I look like shit now despite my lifts.

Op pic obviously isn't me but it's an example of someone who doesn't squat. I've since stopped squatting and done an actual routine that isn't for retards and I feel a lot better. Slow cutting though to not look like a rippleltoad disciple though

>>39120658

from an evolutionary stand point they want someone who makes them feel protected and small.

>>39120758
because they don't want to learn form and squatting or anything without proper form will fuck you up but instead of saying "man, my form is terrible" they'll go "what a bad exercise" and move onto the leg press and because 95% of the people that do workout feel this way it's some sort of a self-fullfilling prophecy

>>39120767

If you're lifting for women then there's no need for squats

Of you don't want to be a fag do squats

>>39120758
1. Everyone loves to see big numbers, so they do low bar meme sqauts

3. Weak anterior chains discourage some people from doing these

To be fair, genetic knee issues are definitely possible.
My entire family runs shitty knees and I also experienced knee pain moving into the 200s with my squats.

Leg press and other shit is even worse though. They'd literally kill my knees entirely.

For now I'm stuck with sumo, seeing if my knees endure it and meanwhile looking what I can do.
But my hopes are low that I will be able to squat without killing the knees in the future.

It's not bad, but I'm way more anxious to fix my fucking pipecleaner upper body. Been putting faith in popular opinion of a beginner strength program and all I've seen treat squat as some absolutely essential holy grail of compound lifts, but still doubt lingers.

You sound like a small asian girl trapped in the yellow hulk's body

Are you an avid user of the darknet or are you given steroids for your HIV/AIDS?

>>39121967
I was a yellow hulk trapped in a jail bait tiny Asian's body. I was approached my a manufacturer of roids.

>>39122055
How do I get an asian gym gf?

There's one at my gym who always has hard nipples that I want to suckle on

>>39120716

Sprinkle some high grade rice from Japan in your gym and if she noticed your mating call, give her some sweet natty lickaroo and insert your Tokyo tower into her. Or there's a easy way like approaching her and compliment her lifts and or her hard work in the gym, then keep talking to her little by little to earn her friendship then ask her out for a coffee

>>39122093
Hehe dont be silly, talking to girls are fucking beta.
Alphas only talk to other men, that way we increase our testosterone

>>39122055
you're on a cross-thread shitposting roll holy fuck

>>39122093
Are her hard nipples a result of mirring my natty gains or just because she's cold?

desu I think the best thing to do is squat til you hit 3pl8 then cut squatting down to once a week and do more upper body work

>>39122121
This

A good rule of thumb is doing the opposite of what 4chan says

>>39122101
So you're gonna just burt stare at her until she spills her rice from her pockets and bend over and rub her sweaty ass onto your Tokyo tower?

Lol. In my uni gym, this guy came in and I saw him do 3 plate front squats.

>>39122130
>saying this

Also nothing makes me laugh harder than seeing someone squat a fuckton of weight yet barely be able to press 1 plate on the bench. It's about balance.

Plus because /fit/ girls have been conned in recent years by pervs to think that gym>genetics and that squats will make their ass get thicc, when in reality its doesn't

>>39122121
Correcto. Squats are not more important than anything else, can't believe how overhyped deads/squats are

RESPOND PLEASE!!!!!

If your upper body can only grow at a certain rate (assuming you're natty). Why not spend other time working your lower body for all the possible benefits it could provide.
>nice legs
>nice ass
>strong core
>nice lower back
>any trap/back gains from deadlifting

Its not like doing squats and DLs take away from upper body. Give me one good reason why you wouldn't do them say on an Upper Lower split, provided
>you are doing optimal upper body stuff
>you enjoy making gains
>you have time

>>39120098
lol ok chicken legs

Is squatting twice a week enough as opposed to 3x? Following a beginner routine. 2x a week seems like the perfect balance if goal is to look good and strength second..

>>39121364
aight, i got home, heres my routine:
PPLPPxx
Push:
>OHP 3x5 1x5+
>Bench 4x5 (you can switch ohp and bench so do what ever you like first or alternate between doing them first)
>cable flyes 3x12
>lat raises 3x12
>rear seated raises 3x12
>tri pushdown 3x12

Pull:
>bent over rows 4x5 1x5+, any variant you like, i like to do regular bent over rows
>lat pulldowns 4x5 1x5+, these you can switch for weighted pullups if u like
>barbell curls 3x12
>shrugs 3x12
>hammer curls 3x12

Legs:
>leg press 2x5 1x5+
>dumbbell lunges 3x5 1x5+
>calf raises 3x12
>leg extensions 3x12
>(optional) leg curls 3x12

1x5+ meaning you do the last set at as many reps as possible, if this rep count exceeds 10 reps bump up the weights. (note: do not just grind as many reps as possible on this set, you have to have good form, so if the form is lacking say at 6th rep, stop there)

as for advice...
do not get injured, this will hinder your progress and your ability to go to the gym.
best ways to not get injured is taking it slow, hold good form, and leave your fucking ego at the door, you have to work your way up and its impossible if you think you can bench 200lbs when you start out.

at the moment im eating at around 300kcals-500kcals surplus and im gaing around 700g every 2 weeks or so. you might need less or more calories, but i would suggest a surplus of 300kcals to 500kcals for a lean bulk.

if you like to train your abs a little more feel free to incorporate some exercises, i train abs every day with planks, side planks and hanging leg raises.

remember to get enough sleep, AT LEAST 7 hours and preferably nothing more than 9 hours, this is curcial for recovery and mass gaining.

feel free to use protein or weight gaining supplements if you have a hard time hitting your macros or calorie counts, i myself take 2 protein shakes and 1 weight gain shake everyday, not because im a hard gainer, but becase im very busy.

>>39122484
i do also take creatine, i have never trained with out so i cannot tell you whether or not it is an actual meme, i dont think it is though

>>39121076
>not doing lunges

>>39120098
>>Pic related is what women want. Not your t-rex body.
and what excercise should I do if I don't care about peacocking women?

>>39122500
bench, ohp, rows, big guy stuff

>>39120319
>I can't squat properly
>I'll just not do it

> I appreciate your presence on this board and feel like I've found a rare-ish pokemon when I stumble across one of your posts

on the contrary, whenever i see another chiaki post i feel like i found another rattatat while playing pokemon go

>>39121076

so leg days must take you around 20-30 minutes tops?

my leg days consist of back squat and RDLs as my main lifts, followed by front squats and box or pause squats as assistance work, and leg presses, calf raises using the smith or leg press machine, and seated calf raises as pure accessory work. sometimes i'll do front squats as my main compound and do lighter back squats for more reps. i also used to do leg curls and leg extensions but they gave me knee pain so i stopped doing them (much worse than any variation of squat ever did).

i do deadlifts on pull day.

>>39121082

not a big fan of dorian yates vs bodybuilders that did more compound lifts.

Fucking ruthless.

>>39121606
Squats are not a meme. Do your chins and dips on SL alongside the bench, OHP and rows and your upper body will be fine.

Once you switch to an intermediate routine you'll make better upper body gains. A routine with more upper volume is ideal. Candito's 6 Week has loads and still keeps you strong as Fuark. Would recommend once you're ready for it.

HI YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!! XD

>>39120098
Fuck off, I love squats. My leg day is literally
>5 warmup sets of 5 squats
>3 heavy sets of 3-5 squats
>5x10 squats at 50% max that day
>5x15 calf raise

Leg day is so easy. Hamstrings get worked on diddylift days, before anyone has an aneurism.
