You should squat everyday.

>squat everyday
Worst meme bro science in fit community.
Sane answer: No I want to keep my knees and spine healthy.

>>76398800
I've been squatting on average 3 times a week for years. Never had a problem

>>76398817
>3 times
2 is best, 3 its ok with good programming but cmon everyday it's no way sustainable.

i don't think gabriel squats every day. i haven't watched him for a while though. he's definitely never preached that.

>>76398787 (OP)
every day*

If you’re squatting everyday you’re not putting up real numbers.

OP auto exposed for being a weaklet.

i did hexbar "squats"

Imagine not squatting 3x a day

Obscene. Who is that?

>you should do this useless high risk low reward exercise that can snap your lower back at any given moment and send you into a 6 month vacation, consequently making all ur gains vanish

>>76398844
It's usually meme intensity of the frequency is that high. I squat and deadlift 3 days a week but only one of those days for each is heavy, and the rest are 50-65% 1rm just to keep muscle memory k. The movement patterns.

DYEL

>>76398787 (OP)
Is it ok if I squat with body weight

>>76399418
low reward? ok dyel

>>76398800
>knees
Only half squatting retards have this problem

>>76399598
yeah, pistol squats

>>76398787 (OP)
I hate that physique

>>76400774
What is there to hate about it?

>>76398858
Gabriel doesn't squat every day and does not advocate doing so, like every educated strength coach. Even Clarence said that although he squatted everyday for volumes back at his prime, 99% of lifters would benefit from 2x a week frequency and with more than 3x you hit a plateau and fatigue.

>>76400387
nah atg at high frequency is far more taxing for the knee joints, than above parallel squats, it's common sense you induce more angular motion on your knees which could aggravate them if you have tendinitis issues.

>>76401073
should i squat with different ranges of motion? for example for intensity day, suppose, a 5x5, i go just below parallel and for volume day i hit atg?

>>76401141
>should i squat with different ranges of motion?
no, you should find your most comfortable position at the bottom, it depends on your ankle and hip flexibility since every individual has different lower body proportions. But the rule of thumb is to go below parallel (hip crease) while keeping a constant squat depth even when go for 1 RM. You may see some advanced athletes to cut the motion and go just above parallel (half-squating) now and then, most of them do it to protect their knees from overuse or prepare for high intensity training cycles.

>>76398817
that's what they all say

see ya in 10 years

>>76398787 (OP)
>squat every day for over 5 years
>still cant squat more than 4pl8
>this is your reward

>>76401918
He squats 5 pl8 tho

>>76401931
And he still looks like that?

Is 3pl8s x 5 for someone 175 lbs respectable?

>>76401949
Yes

>>76401949
Hit 3pl8s for fives @ 68 kg after 1 year of training, spend the next 3 and a half years barely reaching 4pl8s for threes @ 77 kg bw. This proves why 3pl8s has been popularized as an achievable natty milestone for an avg joe.

>inb4 gain weight
I don't want to get a powershitter gut. At my height going over 80 kg would ruin my petty physique.

>>76398787 (OP)
Why is it that all squat-tards either look like skinny-fat dyles or fat power-shitters?

>>76402021
yeah bro he looks so skinny...

>>76402070
He doesn’t look impressive

>>76402083
LMFAO, whats impressive to you bro? 9000ml of Test? Arnold Swaznigger? Ronnie Coleman? Your heads fucked cunt. your jealous.

>>76398817
>"You should squat everyday"
>"I've been squatting on average 3 times a week for years"

bro, 3x is not even close to 7x. 2x frequency is normal, 3x frequency is best, 4x+ is high volume. Come back later when you actually know what high volume squat training actually is.

>>76402101
Looking like an average highschool lineman is not impressive

>>76402021
Post your body. We'll see who looks better, you or Gabriel.

>>76401918
he would look good if he lost 40 pounds

>>76402393
>upper body completely shrinks and still has trex legs

>>76399424
you deadlift 3x per week? like actual deadlift, not variations?

>>76398787 (OP)
you should, for 6-12 months
not even for gains but just to learn that you can do it and not die
or, if you die, to learn that youre a fragile fuck that was ngmi anyway

i have severely damaged patellar cartilage so i can't squat at all anymore
