Squats

**Prince** · 12-11-2000, 03:38 PM

Do you guys do squats every leg work-out? Or every other, etc? Altenate with leg press, or what?

crowman · 12-11-2000, 06:42 PM

Yep, squats every leg work-out. Occasionally, If I really want to blast my thighs I will add leg press and leg extensions to my work-out. If you want to see some people's leg work-outs they are posted right below, here on the board.

Squats rule as the king of Leg building exercises. Not to mention their added benefits of inducing other muscles indirectly at the same time...i.e..glutes and back. If I could only do one leg exercise..it would be the squat...wait, I already do that. Forget leg presses..anyone can leg press 300lbs..but how many people can squat 300lbs? Much much tougher, IMHO.

Amen Cutemonkey lol. I only have a couple leg workouts and the main one is Squat. Its funny lifting at my highschool after school for baseball traing. Many kids don't like to squat and have the poorest form. My squat is not that great for being 17 its only 310 max. I plan on getting it to 400 by the beggining of summer vacation. You should also do leg curls and extensions that work good too.

Time + Patience · 12-14-2000, 02:12 PM

I do a couple sets of squats, or til my legs are to tired, then I just do some other bullshit stuff for legs, I do SLDL's on another day than quads.

cutemonkey · 12-14-2000, 02:27 PM

Mr.Baseball, if I ever read any post you make complaining about your lifts, I will delete u..

...you're 17? and you're crying about squatting 300lbs? Have you posted your stats...I would love to see them. I think u have a very good squat compared to anyone at any age...300lbs is a good squat IMO.

Behemouth · 12-16-2000, 09:18 PM

i do squats and leg press every leg workout.

I just stopped since i need to get some work done on my legs.I'm gonn do leg presses for a while.

FAngel · 12-25-2000, 03:55 AM

I squat every leg day

devastation25 · 12-29-2000, 01:10 AM

Here are my maxes on everything.
Flat Bench=240
Squat=310
Incline Bench= 215
Deadlifts=350 I just started so they will be going up soon

I can squat 310. I don't know why you would doubt me. I said that my thighs were 25 inches. You must of read a older post of mine or something. HOw much can you squat?

IRON PIMPER · 12-29-2000, 07:20 AM

devastation25 · 12-29-2000, 08:24 AM

hey man i dont totally doubt you, but exactly how do you squat.

as for my max, i have no idea. like i said i just got done with 8 weeks of 20 reps squats. i got up to 235 for 20 reps.

12-29-2000, 10:13 AM

Our coach makes us go below parallel on our squats. I am trying to go for 340 this coming Monday. Hopefully I will get it up.

body dismorphia · 12-29-2000, 12:14 PM

squat about every 2 out of 3 leg workouts sometime fisrt over times at the end of the workout.

byker · 12-29-2000, 05:21 PM

I like to do squats every leg day slow and all the way down than hit the leg press every other leg day right after squats same way slow and all the way than try to get up after wont happen for awhile.

devastation25 · 12-29-2000, 11:51 PM

i hope you get it. if that is what you really squat than keep it up.

good luck

jld2789 · 06-19-2004, 05:14 PM

I am 15 and i am squating 405 with ease is this healthy for my body to be doing this much weight. I weigh about 175 and I am about 5'8"

**P-funk** · 06-19-2004, 05:51 PM

I eaither squat, front squat or deadlift. I almost never leg press (unless I do it unilateral).

When I go back to total body workouts I will probably squat 3x's (using percentages).

DeadBolt · 06-19-2004, 05:56 PM

I ussually squat every leg day but on p/rr/s I have to alternate, ie: full squat, hack squat, front squat...but non the less a squat. I think they are a great lift and should be done but every once in a while I take a break from em for a week or two. I seem to come back to them harder and stronger and can put up much more weight.

Damn 310 is pretty good Mr.Baseball. I am 18 and am only getting up 205x4 ass to the grass. Don't know my 1RM.

jld2789 whats your form like? Do you go below parallel? What are your other stats?

aztecwolf · 06-19-2004, 06:23 PM

I squat every leg day, and on some leg days i devote it entirely to squats

LAM · 06-19-2004, 06:25 PM

depends on how many reps I am doing. it is much easier to keep good form when training in the 6-12 rep range that it is when you go to medium reps like 20+. I stick to mainly machines when going high reps in the 40+ range and over...

DeadBolt · 06-19-2004, 06:34 PM

no idea i just found the damn thing lol

Rich46yo · 06-19-2004, 06:40 PM

Out of 10 leg days I probably squat 9 of them. Much of this is due to my playing days. For sports, especially football, where raw power must be unleashed instantaniously, there just is no substitute for squats. Also I was born all ass and legs, squats have always come easy for me. Developeing my upper body has been the great accomplishment of my life..........take care.........Rich

**Mudge** · 06-19-2004, 08:07 PM

I am squatting every leg workout, I didn't feel that leg presses or hack squats (machine) were doing me much good. The way I leg press though hits the hams because of where I place me feet, I dont like how it feels otherwise.

**CowPimp** · 06-19-2004, 09:03 PM

I squat every leg workout, and I do P-RR-S. I tried front squats, but they are just way too uncomfortable for me. I also do one-legged squats during power week. If I worked out at a gym then I would probably alternate in leg press or hack squats occasionally, but I love full squats.
