Squats?

**Prince** · 09-30-2001, 11:22 PM

Do you think they're necessary for overall body development?

Maki Riddington · 09-30-2001, 11:27 PM

No. But they do help.

I don't feel that there are any movements that are necessary, rather movements that are more or less important.
I think squats are one of the most important.

seyone said it all. Some exercises are more beneficial than others but there are no absolutes.

I have read that squats are the single best exercise you can do for your body. I also read that no workout routine is complete without squats. Don't ask me where I read this...I just did, and it stuck with me.

I agree with that statement, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to do them. Just because something isn't the "best" doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.

No.

Methinks deads are better anyhow.

If I had completely omited squats and deadlifts from my training, I'd probably have the strength and muscular development of a field mouse.I think it is crucial that either squats,deadlifts or both are included in your training.

i believe, squats are great, but they are not for everyone, depending on your body structure. i don't get much out of them, but i always do different deadlifts, which work well.

Squats good

If done properly, I think they can be very benefically to all areas of your lower body, and parts of your upper body as well.

Squats and variations of the squat should be a part of most routines. I do believe that they are necessary for functional strength and overall development.
