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.

A squat cannot be performed on a Smith machine any more than it can be performed in a small closet with a hamster.

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

Women who do look like men have taken some rather drastic steps in that direction that have little to do with their exercise program.

The full-range-of-m otion exercise known as the squat is the single most useful exercise in the weight room, and our most valuable tool for building strength, power, and size.
