deadlift instead

>>40747182
Can deadlifting and leg pressing replace squatting?

>>40747200
no

>>40747159
Literally don't squat, better to do some shit and not squat than do nothing at all

>>40747159
Squat you fucking pussy

>>40747159
Cut back on them? Or do low weight

>miss workouts because I have to do squats

Literally not going to make it

>>40747159
Try starting the workout with a different exercise, once you started it'll be easier to make yourself squat

>>40747159
Just leg press then, not the end of the world.

>>40747159
Replace them with leg extensions and leg presses

>>40747296
Do this if you're a pussy but still want leg gains. I don't do squats cause "it feels good", but because it trains my legs, my stabilizer muscles, and putting that much weight on your back releases a ton of testosterone. Fucking squat deep

>>40747159
Why do you hate squats?

>>40747159
Hey don't worry bro, take a bit of a rest. You don't have to push yourself that much. You can always do it later. It's allright. We all tend to avoid things we don't like. But you know what? That's normal. Don't be so harsh on yourself bro. Just do it later =)

sad, back squats are my favourite and I look forward to them every time, theyre so comfy dood

>>40747159
I fucking love squats. It's the only compound lift I'm good at.

>>40747159
Do other workouts first.
If im having a good Bench press at the beginning of a workout, that emotional high will carry on till the end of the training so doing some Squats ain't a big deeal

>>40747341
Have to warmup like 15 minutes for them because of a hip problem and my knee sounds like popcorn in the microwave when I do them

>>40747400

but microwave popcorn is delicious anon.

keep that in mind. positive reinforcement!

>implying squats are even necessary.

other machines exist, and alot of people workout without doing squats

B-But ripptoe said you have to squat or you're a pussy

can someone explain why anyone would hate squats? this is a serious question

>>40747545
For me they are very hard, don't know why but I barely progress on them compared to other compounds

>>40747566
Have you tried setting up the safety pins? I used to hate them as well because I was afraid of failing a weight. With safety pins on I don't care anymore and the lift became fun, I have failed many times but progress has improved.

>>40747583
I have safety pins that's not the issue. I just can't progress much, I stall, deload, work back up and progress by 2.5 kg-5kg and stall again and so on.

>>40747545
Been trying them for nearly a month now....started highbar...leaning forward....then with weights under heels...then low bar...removed the weights....now i got to sort my knees out as they move out as i go down only stopping when i get parralell....shits annoying....im weak as fuck and not even 1 plating and ive spent a month trying to sort my form...

>>40747737
You'll get there eventually man, we are all going to make it.

Change your program, don't do squats, whatever dude. It's just a meme that has gone too far, you can make good fucking progress without back squats or even squats at all.

>>40747159
If it keeps you from working out just don't do them, it's better to miss squats than entire workouts

>>40747159
i know that feel OP. i only do bodyweight but i train for over 2 hours. i can drive myself to the ground from exaustion, keep repping beyond my limits at everysingle exercise be it pushups, pullup, planks etc.etc. squats is the ONE SOLE exercise in which the moment i am not even tired, just winded my brain screams for me to give up and do something else. everyother exercise i go super sayan till there is puddle of sweat under me, squats nope.

>>40747159
muscle confusion. walk in like it's chest day, get ready to bench then just run to the squat rack and go, no thinking.

someone post that pasta.
