A weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their squat strength goes up.

I recommend against a wooden squat rack, for much the same reason that I recommend against a wooden car.

I welcome you to the community of people who have decided that EASY will no longer suffice!

There is simply no other exercise, and certainly no machine, that produces the level of central nervous system activity, improved balance and coordination, skeletal loading and bone density enhancement, muscular stimulation and growth, connective tissue stress and strength, psychological demand and toughness, and overall systemic conditioning than the correctly performed full squat.

History tells us what works in the gym, and everything else walks down the road with a carrot in its ass.

I recommend that you change colleges.

There is no substitute for milk. Sorry.
