Exercise is not a thing we do to fix a problem - it is a thing we must do anyway, a thing without which there will always be problems

But then again, those who argue against squatting and deadlifting on the same day may just be pussies.

Your muscles cannot get "longer" without some rather radical orthopedic surgery.

There is never an absolute answer to everything, except of course that you have to do your squats.

If you insist on wearing gloves, make sure they match your purse.

Only people willing to work to the point of discomfort on a regular basis using effective means to produce that discomfort will actually look like they have been other-than-comf ortable most of the time. You can thank the muscle magazines for these persistent misconceptions, along with the natural tendency of all normal humans to seek reasons to avoid hard physical exertion.

The full squat is a perfectly natural position for the leg to occupy. That's why there is a joint in the middle of it, and why humans have been occupying this position, both unloaded and loaded, for millions of years. Much longer, in fact, than quasi-intellect ual morons have been telling us that it's 'bad' for the knees.
