Even the most gifted squatter will at times look down at the puddle of puke between his legs and ask why the hell they're doing this to themselves. To be perfectly frank, they can be hard as fuck. Unfortunately, squats aren't the easiest movement in the world to do. But you'll never really be strong – stronger than the average guy, sure, but not the type of strong you dreamed of becoming when you first set foot in a gym.įor that kind of strength, you need a heavy bar on your back.
After all, you can still build a powerful looking body without ever entering a power rack. Squat plateaus have caused many strong lifters to stop competing, or quit powerlifting entirely. When your squat stalls, everything comes into question – from the obvious things like setup, technique, and programming – to the more deep-seated factors, like whether you're just too much of a pussy to move any real weight. Knowing VERY well if it was not for you we would not be here, let alone for 15 years, I made an executive decision and am publishing this as a big ass 16,000 word article. We were going to put this with a bunch of other articles together into a Squat Manual that we could sell or give away as a promotional item.
