Daily reminder that squats and deadlifts are meme lifts and you

>>42777488
took me a long time to figure this out lol


im extremely poorly built for squatting too, could have saved myself a lot of trouble

>>42777519
At least you figured it out anon.

You weight less than 140lbs

>>42777536
>you weight

Your IQ is less than 70

>>42777488
they're not meme lifts but they're not the end all be all of lifting weights, especially if your only goal is size

so many threads where someone repeatedly snaps their shit up squatting or has some preexisting injuries that make it a terrible idea to squat, but they insist on doing so because the internet told them to

>>42777657
Agreed

If you can't perform a squat or a hinge you are a broken individual

>>42777858
>I say regurgitate memes instinctively without actually thinking about them

Noice

It's a statement of fact. Barring injury or serious immobility issues, you should be able to bend (mostly) at the waist and pick something up off the floor and you should be able to bend (mostly) at the knees and lower your body to the floor.

I don't deadlift because I have a long term (presumably permanent) lower back injury and don't want to fuck it up even more. I do squat, but every rep I feel my knees cracking internally. Dunno how else to describe it. This is with small weight as well. Might stop squats since I don't want fucked up knees on top of a fucked up lower back.

No shame in not doing either really, just because anons on /fit/ tell you to.

Hmmmmm

You can build great legs purely with cycling and sprinting. I know soccer players that dont squat with way bigger legs than guys that squat 400+

>>42778190
pathetic bait

>>42778190
No you don't.

>>42778153
You don't need to do Rippetoe approved low bar squats and conventional deadlifts but you should be able to squat and hinge, even if it's goblet squatting or RDLs

>>42778190
I've seen this as well

>>42778221
>>42778222
Go out more you pathetic incels

Not bait, go check out the guys on your college soccer team's legs, they never do squats yet they're all pretty big.

what's a replacement for deadlifts?

>>42778258
Those are "reasonably developed" but certainly not "big." Rugby players have big legs and guess what, they lift.

Did I accidentally stumble into /r/fitness?

Reverse hyper or sprints, and rack pulls. Good hamstrings will come with time
>>42778280
Thats my whole point. Most guys dont care to reach "huge", most guys will never reach huge. I'd say its more fulfilling to train as an athlete for endurance, leanness, and speed that for raw strength and size.

>>42778317
Sure but you can still squat once a week and be an athlete

>>42778258
Those legs are not bigger than anyone who squats 400+ pounds with good form.

>>42778399
Sure, i'd actually reccomend that just because quads are hard to hit without squats.
Deadlifts however are much easier to replaces, guys who do nothing but upperbody and ride bikes can pull near 500
