I never do squats, leg press, or deadlifts.

People think this is ridiculous. So why? Because they are the main cause for back and knee problems. I'd rather not spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair due to self-inflicted injuries.
A lot of gym stuff goes beyond "fitness" and is basically just you wrecking your body with unnatural movements and weights so you could look bigger. That's not fitness or a healthy lifestyle, which is what I am personally going for.

Ask Ronnie Coleman if you disagree. Dude is borderline paralyzed because he exercised in his youth.

What gymfags don't understand is that even though your muscles are designed to get stronger through cycles of breaking and then healing, your spine and joints don't work that way.
You fuck up the fluid inside your spine and that shit doesn't just heal and become stronger. Back pain isn't "weakness leaving the body"

This is why I always tell people to go swimming instead of hitting the gym.
When you swim, the water is supporting the weight of your body which is optimal for your joints. No stress in the joints.
But you still get an amazing exercise because you need to fight the resistance of the water.
Ofc you dont get B I G just by swimming but we're strictly talking fitness here, not body dysphoria

That thread about fixing shitty posture really triggered you, huh?

If you feel discomfort in your back or knees just go easy for a week. It's not a race. If you don't like doing the exercises just say so, they're not mandatory. but don't make excuses.

Enjoy being weak and small then, glassback faggot.

You can squat without lifting, just your own body weight. Better than nothing.

You’re the type of weak faggot to hurt himself lifting a couch

How about a third one in your chest

I don’t because they don’t fit into my routine, I run anyways. I can pistol squat though.

My back is in so much better shape and just feels far better since I've been doing weekly squats for the last ten months.
Maybe dont be retarded about it.

I was always insecure about my legs. I had a larger upper body that was a bit disproportionate in comparison to my legs. I went as far as squatting every other workout. Nothing helped

Until I started biking. My hams, abductors, and abductors blew up. I went from a 2plate squat for reps to 3plates in like a month.

Basically, squats probabaly aren't needed but theyre fun to do. Biking surprisingly made a huge difference

>>76469775 (OP)
there's really nothing in life you can do that won't have a negative effect somewhere else. You gotta find the point where the positives outweigh the negatives. Like sacrificing some muscle gains in order to maintain joint health etc.

tell me more?

Did you just go regular biking or did you use one of those bikes at the gym? Did you do anything special on them?

How many single leg pistol squats can you do brother

It's one moron on a crusade. Check the catalog, he's been spamming anti squat/deadlift/ohp/benchpress threads.

I squat to ensure that if my SO or anyone I love is in danger, I can carry them away from it.

Didn't read, still squatting to become stronger for Her

Aeneas carried his aged father to safety while Troy burned around them. I think about that a lot.

I bought a hybrid and just started biking outside. Everytime I need to run errands i end up biking rather than driving
