Its true. The higher weight involved strains your lower back even with good form. Time spent recovering from back injuries is essentially lost gains.
Squats and deads are the best exercises, don't get me wrong, but they aren't essential.
Always do a good warm up before squats, and do them with correct form and you won't have to worry about injuries. For example, I always run ~15 minutes before doing squats, and I find I can push myself hard without any issues. 10 years ago I did injure my knees a bit from squats, but I didn't warm up properly back then, and my form could have been off. No issues nowadays though.
Fighters don't need to squat. Half their training with the heavy bag, sparring, footwork, and rolling will hit the lower back for strength and stamina that is desirable for a fighter. That said, Tate is no fighter. He's a chump. He 100% tweaked his back because he had shit for and never really trained hard in his fighting to begin with. You think Mike Tyson would thrown out his back out in his prime if he decided to squat whatever weight Tate was ego lifting, even adjusted for their weight difference of Tate being a twig and Tyson being little tank? Hell no. Weak fighter, weak competition, weak back, weak man. Blaming squats is cope. I hate women too, but that's no excuse to be a little b***h.
yeah he's really strong
https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/35761669/inside-long-awaited-return-jon-jones-quest-heavyweight-glory-ufc-285
and there's some old videos on youtube of him squatting up to 4pl8s. his form is a little wonky but he does hit depth. he isn't doing 1/4 squats.
>Fighters don't need to squat. Half their training with the heavy bag, sparring, footwork, and rolling will hit the lower back for strength and stamina that is desirable for a fighter.
None of this builds leg strength
They focus on a lot of calisthenics and isometric exercises.
[...]
they are not squatting because they are either >stupid
or >competing in a weight class/range
building strength benefits boxing as it does for every other strength or explosive power requiring exercise
a stronger guy always has advantage over weaker guy. thats why people use steroids in the first place.
A 500lbs squatter will always have advantage against the guy with 200lbs squat. be it boxing wrestling or what ever simply because he is stronger.
its like arguing that a boy is better fighter than man is. or that a woman is as good as man. how is this so hard for everyone to understand?
Because Tyson Fury isn't as strong as Anthony Joshua, nor as explosive as Deontay Wilder and he (could) beat both of them.
Usyk vs Joshua, Haye vs the russian giant etc
Weightclass and fighting discipline comes into it here, as wrestling requires more strength. Conversely, bodybuilders and powershitters are rarely a physique to be employed in fighting, because it is inefficient.
You do realize that "isn't a X" doesn't mean there's a huge discrepancy? He is explosive hence why he knocked out wilder in the 3rd fight and knocked him down multipled times in fight 1 and 2.
Not that anon, but that 500lbs squat vs 200lbs squat argument still stand. Its a huge discrepancy.
They are of comparable strength at least, Fury could be even stronger than them. But he also has great technique, is smart, and tough as a person. Also takes enhancement drugs.
It's good to know a lot about something, like say lifting, so you can see whether other people are full of shit
If he's an idiot about lifting why do you assume he's better about anything else

Last time I squatted I felt like I got cramp through my whole back and had to stop like 3 sets in. Then I was sore for like two days. I think it's because I messed myself up deadlifting one time a while ago. Now I'm just not gonna deadlift or squat.

I still find it hilarious that he was yelling at the top of his lungs pre arrest how he was 'top g,' and fricks all these girls and has an amazing life and all this shit. Now look at his content he's a 'i love my wife and i pray everyday.'
because it's pretty obvious he is a israeli psyop plant. His job is to say the red pill talking points but because he's naturally moronic he does it in the worst way possible and becomes easy to criticise. Then, all you need to do is 'arrest' him conveniently after he has an online confrontation with another e-celeb and boom you now have your scapegoat for anything mens rights related. He came onto the scene, spammed everywhere and got arrested within like a year.
If anything about men comes up now, this is the guy that gets mentioned. Psyop successful. I have to say, the israelites chose well, someone that stupid and moronic with that amount of arrogance is extremely easy to manipulate.
tate is regurgitating the same kind of PUA redpill slop that existed from the early 2010s internet. nothing he says is original and he himself has been running the same schtick since at least 2018-2019
that's my point, idiot. People have been saying this stuff for years, nearly a decade as you point out, but suddenly this is the guy everyone focuses on. He's a plant. And literally everybody whether you hate him or love him is falling for it.

So the issue is that improper form and heavy weight will hurt the ego lifter?
Seriously doing squats abit lighter and without a belt is better than lifting too heavy
Do you know why tate doesn't like squats? It's because it's a real lift, that required constant work and long term dedication. You can't cheat a 500lbs squat.
This homosexual pumps TRT+ and does a couple push-ups daily. He's nothing to be admired and without the drugs he'd be a skinny little homosexual like his brother.
>skinny little homosexual like his brother
His brother looks two times bigger than him just admit that you homosexuals are massive losers and cant stand others being better than you
pretty much every longtime squatter i know has lingering injuries. most injuries are knee injuries and not back injuries.
are you not training for health?
are you a powershitter?
are you a strongman?
do you intend to compete?
no? then never do squats heavier than x2 of your bodyweight.
This, squat is by far the the hardest lift. Nothing tires you more than a set of 15-20 with 3 plates but absolutely nothing will make you grow like them.
People who don't like squats are pussies and afraid of hard work.
You're right anon. I should instead hold the same amount of weight with no rail guards, no safety catches, in which I could easily drop the weight on myself or another person, oh yeah and I could risk the entire weight compressing my lower back. >knee exploding machine
Move your feet slightly forward dumbass. Wow problem solved!

Am I the only one who finds the smith machine really awkward to use? The fixed range of motion I can get behind, but the way it slides up and down, it just feels so unlike the barbell. Rotating the bar into the pins is uncomfortable on a lot of exercises and if you need a bench, setting it up and then readjusting until you get that sweet spot for the exercise is also a huge pain in the ass
Yeah it's a total shit machine, the safety rails on a squat rack make it totally worthless, twisting the bar to lock it is just awkward as frick and hurts your wrists
This machine is legitimately dangerous for the knees as it doesn't allow for free movement of weight. In free weight squat if you mess up you can lean little forward or back, but on smith machine you transfer all that weight to the knee
Stabilization is such a stupid meme. It's almost as dumb as functional strength. At best you are working slightly more muscle fibers. It's not like you do actually squat up that much weight resting on your shoulders in real life.
I can pistol squat at 74kg
I was theorizing my squat was 100, and true enough it was, the thing is that my repetitions decrease from 8 to 1, because lowback and nervous system werent used to that weight

he looks like a moronic pinhead with his ears sticking out 5 inches off his head, making it look even smaller and more chimp-like. His brother mogs him so hard it's not even funny, and the only thing that's different between them is the hair, concealing the microcephalic top of his head.
I would not think twice seeing him step off the short bus. He legitimately looks like a moron. Perhaps he suffered some kind of head trauma as a child. Maybe the doctor squeezed his head too hard upon birth. I dunno but he has the look.
bros, im not even kidding. i finally learned hip drive tonight. you just need to become one with the hipdrive, and then you can never hurt your back. its so good.
I was expecting him to go on a rant about how it's gay and it's for women etc.
But he just said that he fricked his back one time doing it, honestly it's so uninteresting that I don't even get why you bothered sharing it, just a complete waste of time
Everytime i am doing squats, this weird noise comes out of my knees which makes me concerned about my form. I don't feel any pain in my back, but my knees feel a little sore after squat sessions, i am just wondering if i am not fricking up my knees with time.
you are frickinng up your knees thats what i did lmao. see a pt and if you dont want to check out some hip/ankle mobility exercises i recommend squat university or that one ryan humiston vid about knees

I don't like squat, I like sprint. Feels more natural and explode my legs when running uphill and sometimes lested. I don't have massive legs but sprint gave me good strength and energy. After 3-4 sets of traumatising sprint to failure your body is so exhausted that it gives you so much endorphines, energy and horniness.
Squats give me good sore and good pump but It doesnt feel as good as sprint.
What exercises were doing Athenians for legs tho I wonder
Dude just lift with perfect form. Just do 10 reps for 3 sets perfectly and keep doing it three times a week, every week for the next 10 years. Just do the same movement 46,800 times and never mess it up or let your ego creep in to the point where you lift too heavy once in those 10 years. Just do that and you'll never frick up your spine and permanently injure yourself. What? Is that too unrealistic? Don't you know all these 50 year old weightlifters who have never experienced an injury in their lifetime? There's many of them out there bro. They just kept perfect form and didn't lift too heavy. So simple anyone can do it.
I squat heavy (500lb+) and plenty of my reps have dog shit form. The notion that one bad rep will AACK you is DYEL cope. I've never seen anyone get injured squatting that wasn't: >A blatant roidtroony with weakened tendons due to steroid abuse attempting some insane new PR (some shit like 600x10 or a powerlifting 1rm etc). You see these sorts of people get injured on every exercise. >Some moron who didn't use a full rack with properly set up safeties (like that Vicky dude who just died) or just squat out in the open with bumper plates so they can drop the bar >Some idiot lifting 4pl8+ on a cheap shit $50 Amazon Basics bar that can't handle it
Go ahead and try to find even one video of a normal (non roidtroon) person hurting themselves squatting in a properly set up rack with a good bar. You can't.
why would pausing at the bottom make you use your hips correctly? because no momentum and legs to weak to drive it up? people frick their backs by not using hips properly.
There's a video of Canelo squattin.. I think roughly 275lbs? Undisputed, multi weight class boxing champ can squat and not die then this homosexual can stop talking.
this but unironically, squats with proper form are safe, but don't expect beginners to use proper form and proper weight. Especially if they already have leg strength but no lower back strength from leg presses.
Timely. Literally just injured myself squatting. Middle of third set. Sharp pain lower back. Dropped the weight. Managed to get home. Tried to walk up stairs, lower back spasmed and it took me 10 mins just to recover enough to crawl upstairs.
Had someone look at my back, not slipped. Trapped nerve, pulled muscle I think. Wut do?
But I don't squat and deadlift. I feel these exercises put too much strain on body, unless you are genetically gifted. It's just not worth it.
I got great results without them. Yeah I can't squat 400lbs but who cares, I'll never need that strength in real life and impressing gym bros just isn't very high in my list.
Pretty sure he doesn't argue with Tate at all. They just had a discussion about "business". He made his thumbnails like that to make it seem to normies and stupid people that he's standing up to the big, mean scary misogyny man.
It's also true about non-fiction books. And I'm talking from experience.
Most books have absurd amounts of unnecessary filler to make them reach the 250-300 page mark. 99% of "useful" books out there could be summarized in a long 10,000-word blog post without losing any meaning.
On top of that, if what you need is useful, practical information, there are dozens of other ways to get it more effectively. The answers you need will be in some article you can find through Google or a short video on YouTube.
There you will get the information in 15–30 minutes instead of wasting >10 hours reading a book. Reading books to learn is unironically a form of procrastination. There is no lower ROI path to success.
In the Information Age, books are an obsolete format.
The only reason we feel that we should read more is because we're constantly surrounded by propaganda guilt-tripping us about not reading "enough". Guilt is a very powerful way to influence people's behavior.
Newsflash: This propaganda benefits megacorporations such as Amazon that essentially monopolize the digital book distribution market.
I am humbled by the fact that Tate instinctively realized that while it took me years and dozens of books to figure it out.
Here's another millionaire talking about it: https://youtu.be/zQu_MDL-Enk
>overly emotional, pissy, hissy-fit reaction
I accept your surrender.
>This propaganda benefits megacorporations such as Amazon that essentially monopolize the digital book distribution market
Anon, you do realise that books are THE easiest thing to pirate and hoard, right?
That's true but also irrelevant. 99% of normies don't know about LibGen or how to pirate a book.
If they want it they'll just pay for it, they won't even bother.
>This propaganda benefits megacorporations such as Amazon that essentially monopolize the digital book distribution market
Anon, you do realise that books are THE easiest thing to pirate and hoard, right?
I read mostly non fiction books and what you describe as "filler" is necessary for understanding a topic in further depth. Yes you can sumarize most books in a 10,000 word blog post and you will probably understand the general idea/jist of the book but you will never really understand it and fully get your head around that topic. It really comes down to what your goals are for reading something.
Personal opinion, but I don't think you can ever fully "get your head around a topic" by just reading about it.
The only way you can ever truly know something is from experience. Personal firsthand experience will always teach you 10x faster and the lessons will be internalized 10x deeper.
When you read something, you may think you "know", but you will never truly *understand* it until you practice what is taught.
You will never get any more than the general idea/gist of something if you just read about it, no matter how detailed the explanations and how many examples provided.
Reading more and more has extremely early diminishing returns, and the opportunity cost of the dozens of hours you'll spend on it is massive.
You will always eventually forget about it if it isn't cemented with personal first-hand experience relevant to your life.
Which is why I kept re-reading non-fiction books trying to make the message sink deeper in my mind, to no avail. It's a fool's errand.
I think it depends on the topic. If you want to learn about automobiles for example, then working as a mechanic will be more beneficial than reading about it. But this doesn't work for everything. How else can you fully understand something like Ancient Greece history for example other than by reading about it? There isn't really a way you can practice something like that in person.

replacing back squats with picrel was the best decision i ever made
exactly the same muscle gains, better carry to real life situations
back squat is just a powerlift exercise for fat fricks, literally 100% of back squat enthusiasts are obese and ugly
>i have a big event tomorrow which needs my body in its freshest form so i'll do a totally new exercise which is known to be dangerous if done improperly
I just alternate between heavy kettlebell squats and medium weight hex bar squats/deadlifts. Just do lighter weight and more reps with good form. I blew out a disc doing RDLs like 8 years ago and I can do both of these no problem.
it probably was bad form but the fact is that everyone doing it at first is going to have shit form and it takes a long time for most people to develop the range of motion to do it properly therefore you should either work on rom first or just do leg press instead.
>just do leg press
I think this is useless. I die a little inside if I have to squat 100kg for reps but I can do 300kg leg press while playing candy crush on my phone until tomorrow.
You'd really have to be a moron to replace squat with leg press but I think that leg press can be great for hypertrophy, I usually do them after my squat/rdl and it give a nice bump, usually go in the range of 10-15 reps
sqauts aren't that risky of an exercise. if you are squating over 250lbs you should use a belt. if you lift heavy use a squat rack and fricking set the safety bars so you can exit the exercise without killing yourself.
I agree. I have slipped discs multiple times from deadlifts. I have completely stopped doing them and find other ways to engaged glutes and hamstrings in other exercises.
You know you're supposed to push deadlifts with your legs and not pull them with your back, right? One braindead cue and some hip mobility stretching trivializes the risk of back injury. As a matter of fact, majority of deadlift related injuries are torn biceps from mixed grip or touch'n go deadlifting.
i dont know about you gays but whenever i hit squats the feeling over the next few days feel like i really hit my legs good, as opposed to when i just do machine exercise, i dont do heavy squats (because i cant) so i think ill be okay and the feeling of barely being able to walk up stairs or sit on the toilet for 3-4 days is nice
I don't think I've ever done a leg days without starting first with barbell squat so no idea what you're talking about. The simple fact that someone would start a leg day with anything else than bbs/squat hack is just odd to me
I honestly don't hate Tate anymore

I'm assuming you are a frequent user of tiktok? That's the only way I can imagine someone's brain melting enough to 'grow' on tate. Either that or you've spent the last month running into a wall and have literal brain damage.
No, but sometimes his shorts pop up on youtube or instagram.
Fact is I agree with him on most things, I just didn't realise that at first because his gigantic ego made me want to strangle him
Also he's moronic with money
Even if you can make more money doesn't mean you should spend all your money on sports cars that instantly lose 50% of their value the second you drive them off the lot
Plus he wears a Hublot watch, and Hublot are trash, and despite being rich he only got a 15k one; if I was filthy rich I'd at least be rocking a Patek
You've said 4 bad things about him but not what you actually agree with. Because if it's shit like "masculinity is under attack" or "women are actually untrustworthy" congratulations it's the same message thousands of men have been saying for years. But for some reason this is the moron that gets the limelight and he's the dumbest of the lot so now every legit discussion on masculinity has to have this spastic injected into it.
He's popular specifically because people hate him and talk about him like ITT.
He knows that, which is why he plays up his persona so much.
That's pretty smart tbh.
I forget that to you kids internet clout = success.
Actual consequences on yourself or the people around you be damned. Muh social media numbers go up therefore success.

He didn't go to jail for being disliked, he went to jail because he (allegedly) did shitty criminal stuff.
I won't defend him on that, forcing women into sex work is disgusting.

Well you basically are considering his redeeming factor to you is that he is rich. You think he went into sex trafficking out of sheer passion? No, he made money from that too. >I can ignore the literal human trafficking because he's funny and internet famous

You mean judging somebody on their actions? So you don't think people should be held accountable? Now THAT sounds like leftist logic kek.

I like people doing squats cause I hate the people who do them and know they are fricking up their backs, I take enjoyment knowing the agony that will befall them in the years to come.
im not trying to be racist but... I dont really feel andrew tate speaks for me because he is simply utterly not part of my tribe... if that makes sense.
The issue with the squat isn't whatever bullshit tate is saying, it's that men typically ONLY squat for leg gains whereas for upper body they autistically hit every muscle group with compounds and isolations. So a lot of men develop muscle imbalances in their legs which leads to joint problems. Squats are good for you iff: >you go ass to grass >you supplement with leg curls, extensions, and calf and tibialis work
And then just don't ego lift your squats and your back will be fine.
Nah, you can get away with doing just squats depending on what you are training for. Powerlifting doesn’t need a whole lot of isolation, just squats and squat variations.
I sweat I’m over these “omglolwtfbbq <insert influencer here> just sed no more <insert lift here>” theeads. You assclowns that take this shit seriously - just stay out of the gym. No one wants your “but akshully” ass around. You complain on here about squats and deads then go to the gym and do meme shit like bosu ball calf raises with bands. Frick off.
>chris chan got out of jail and has a girlfriend, also has a higher bodycount than 95% of IST >andrew tate is going to jail where he will only know sexual congress as a gay bottom
Its true. The higher weight involved strains your lower back even with good form. Time spent recovering from back injuries is essentially lost gains.
Squats and deads are the best exercises, don't get me wrong, but they aren't essential.
How are you gonna pick up your american wife if you can't deadlift and squat at least 405.
With a crane?
My gf weighs 40kgs
I said "wife" that should be all the warning you need not to marry.
Be more funny pls
I'm sorry dick,
I'll do better
>Time spent recovering from back injuries
>Strengthening the back with squats
pick one
No thanks
I squat 2.8x bw and my back feels fine both during and after squats.
I like kettlebell swings and lunges with pushing and pulling a sled
Always do a good warm up before squats, and do them with correct form and you won't have to worry about injuries. For example, I always run ~15 minutes before doing squats, and I find I can push myself hard without any issues. 10 years ago I did injure my knees a bit from squats, but I didn't warm up properly back then, and my form could have been off. No issues nowadays though.
>2023
>the front squat is forgotten
did you miss the rest of the video? he said
>people try to lift too heavy with incorrect form
So lift appropriate weight with correct form
I don't listen to the opinions of bald "people"

Tate is literally a Black person.
Black person
Fighters don't need to squat. Half their training with the heavy bag, sparring, footwork, and rolling will hit the lower back for strength and stamina that is desirable for a fighter. That said, Tate is no fighter. He's a chump. He 100% tweaked his back because he had shit for and never really trained hard in his fighting to begin with. You think Mike Tyson would thrown out his back out in his prime if he decided to squat whatever weight Tate was ego lifting, even adjusted for their weight difference of Tate being a twig and Tyson being little tank? Hell no. Weak fighter, weak competition, weak back, weak man. Blaming squats is cope. I hate women too, but that's no excuse to be a little b***h.
Bones Jones squats 600x1 and 500x5. Also deads 500x15.
Tate could take Jones.
Not anymore because it sucks for fighting.
those are his prs from a few months ago doofus.
Jon Jones squats? The guy who regularly gets mocked here for having undeveloped legs?
yeah he's really strong
https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/35761669/inside-long-awaited-return-jon-jones-quest-heavyweight-glory-ufc-285
and there's some old videos on youtube of him squatting up to 4pl8s. his form is a little wonky but he does hit depth. he isn't doing 1/4 squats.
He's 6'4 for 250lbs, ofc he's going to have twig legs
>Fighters don't need to squat. Half their training with the heavy bag, sparring, footwork, and rolling will hit the lower back for strength and stamina that is desirable for a fighter.
None of this builds leg strength
They focus on a lot of calisthenics and isometric exercises.
Because Tyson Fury isn't as strong as Anthony Joshua, nor as explosive as Deontay Wilder and he (could) beat both of them.
Usyk vs Joshua, Haye vs the russian giant etc
Weightclass and fighting discipline comes into it here, as wrestling requires more strength. Conversely, bodybuilders and powershitters are rarely a physique to be employed in fighting, because it is inefficient.
You do realize that "isn't a X" doesn't mean there's a huge discrepancy? He is explosive hence why he knocked out wilder in the 3rd fight and knocked him down multipled times in fight 1 and 2.
Not that anon, but that 500lbs squat vs 200lbs squat argument still stand. Its a huge discrepancy.
They are of comparable strength at least, Fury could be even stronger than them. But he also has great technique, is smart, and tough as a person. Also takes enhancement drugs.
Fury, I guarantee it, is not anywhere near as strong as Joshua or Wilder. His Gym work is terrible and his lifts are mediocre.
they are not squatting because they are either
>stupid
or
>competing in a weight class/range
building strength benefits boxing as it does for every other strength or explosive power requiring exercise
a stronger guy always has advantage over weaker guy. thats why people use steroids in the first place.
A 500lbs squatter will always have advantage against the guy with 200lbs squat. be it boxing wrestling or what ever simply because he is stronger.
Wrong.
>t. 120lb "fighter"
its like arguing that a boy is better fighter than man is. or that a woman is as good as man. how is this so hard for everyone to understand?
Last time I squatted I felt like I got cramp through my whole back and had to stop like 3 sets in. Then I was sore for like two days. I think it's because I messed myself up deadlifting one time a while ago. Now I'm just not gonna deadlift or squat.
I like tate but ignore all of his fitness advice.
>I like tate
gay
It's good to know a lot about something, like say lifting, so you can see whether other people are full of shit
If he's an idiot about lifting why do you assume he's better about anything else
I hate taint and ignore all his advice
Why? This guy promotes fatherless behavior. Imagine your daughter dated a guy like this. You would be happy for her?
I still find it hilarious that he was yelling at the top of his lungs pre arrest how he was 'top g,' and fricks all these girls and has an amazing life and all this shit. Now look at his content he's a 'i love my wife and i pray everyday.'
it's honestly pathetic how fast he swerved
because it's pretty obvious he is a israeli psyop plant. His job is to say the red pill talking points but because he's naturally moronic he does it in the worst way possible and becomes easy to criticise. Then, all you need to do is 'arrest' him conveniently after he has an online confrontation with another e-celeb and boom you now have your scapegoat for anything mens rights related. He came onto the scene, spammed everywhere and got arrested within like a year.
If anything about men comes up now, this is the guy that gets mentioned. Psyop successful. I have to say, the israelites chose well, someone that stupid and moronic with that amount of arrogance is extremely easy to manipulate.
tate is regurgitating the same kind of PUA redpill slop that existed from the early 2010s internet. nothing he says is original and he himself has been running the same schtick since at least 2018-2019
you are a zoomer moron
that's my point, idiot. People have been saying this stuff for years, nearly a decade as you point out, but suddenly this is the guy everyone focuses on. He's a plant. And literally everybody whether you hate him or love him is falling for it.
>nearly a decade

>I might have done it wrong
>instructor says "yeah most people load too much weight on it and have bad form which causes the issue"
So the issue is that improper form and heavy weight will hurt the ego lifter?
Seriously doing squats abit lighter and without a belt is better than lifting too heavy
I am never gonna do squats. There is too much room for error. I just do hex with the bar turned upside down.
So you do hex-bar for both deadlifts and squats
squats only matter to fat people and ex-fats because its all they are good at
you only need calisthenics and weighted calisthenics.
my squat 1RM and weighted pull-up 1RM is almost the same
you are coping
Do you know why tate doesn't like squats? It's because it's a real lift, that required constant work and long term dedication. You can't cheat a 500lbs squat.
This homosexual pumps TRT+ and does a couple push-ups daily. He's nothing to be admired and without the drugs he'd be a skinny little homosexual like his brother.
Squatting is the easiest to add weight to next to deadlifting you tiny dyel
>skinny little homosexual like his brother
His brother looks two times bigger than him just admit that you homosexuals are massive losers and cant stand others being better than you
pretty much every longtime squatter i know has lingering injuries. most injuries are knee injuries and not back injuries.
are you not training for health?
are you a powershitter?
are you a strongman?
do you intend to compete?
no? then never do squats heavier than x2 of your bodyweight.
He came out of jail even bigger than before… dude was entering bear mode. dispelled all the “he’s dependent on TRT” myths
This, squat is by far the the hardest lift. Nothing tires you more than a set of 15-20 with 3 plates but absolutely nothing will make you grow like them.
People who don't like squats are pussies and afraid of hard work.
What if I told you there was a way you can get ALL the benefits of squats, with NONE of the injury risks?
how about bss, is it really enough for all the same leg gains as barbell version?
Yes but they make you want to die
Frick off with the knee exploding machine
Waste of space in every gym
You're right anon. I should instead hold the same amount of weight with no rail guards, no safety catches, in which I could easily drop the weight on myself or another person, oh yeah and I could risk the entire weight compressing my lower back.
>knee exploding machine
Move your feet slightly forward dumbass. Wow problem solved!
you sound like a pussy
>hack squats are actually more dangerous and if they are not then you are a pussy for not wanting the more dangerous option
Shut up loser
you're literally scared of squats. You are the biggest pussy on this board. Even the dyels squat.
Gotcha so now I'm a pussy for not choosing the more dangerous option? You must be so easy to manipulate. I wonder how many things you only believe because you were told to
>You are so easy to manipulate
>I wonder how many things you only believe because you were told to
You literally listen to andrew tate. My god, you guys really are incapable of basic logic.
Brother I fricking hate Andrew Tate. That's why calling me a pussy does nothing, because I'm not desperately seeking validation like Tater Tots do. That's also why I can pick the safer, superior exercise of the smith machine squat over the barbell squat
>superior exercise of the smith machine squat over the barbell squat
smith machine is an absolute death trap if you somehow miss the safeties.
There are permanent stoppers on Smith Machines. The reason those guillotine videos exist (which can still happen with a regular barbell) is because they didn't set them. It's not a machine's fault a person didn't use it correctly.
this just trains you to never learn hip drive because the bar path stays straight instead of moving forward when you frick up.
Pure speculation, you can learn hip drive without barbell, I'm not the guy you've been arguing with but I think you're a fricking moron, I bet you haven't even been to gym for a year yet
how will you learn hip drive on the squat without the weight shifting forward and throwing you off balance? hip drive is how you keep the bar on a straight path and stand up powerfully. your hip drive is shit if you dont know this.

He's not intelligent because if he was he wouldn't have admitted to everything he did in detail just to brag.

Am I the only one who finds the smith machine really awkward to use? The fixed range of motion I can get behind, but the way it slides up and down, it just feels so unlike the barbell. Rotating the bar into the pins is uncomfortable on a lot of exercises and if you need a bench, setting it up and then readjusting until you get that sweet spot for the exercise is also a huge pain in the ass
Its called the Smith guillotine for a reason
just squat
Yeah it's a total shit machine, the safety rails on a squat rack make it totally worthless, twisting the bar to lock it is just awkward as frick and hurts your wrists
This machine is legitimately dangerous for the knees as it doesn't allow for free movement of weight. In free weight squat if you mess up you can lean little forward or back, but on smith machine you transfer all that weight to the knee
>This machine is legitimately dangerous for the knees
No it isn't. You hurt your knees because you used it wrong. Move your feet two inches forward.
>no stabilization
completely pointless might as well just do hack squat or leg press machines then
Stabilization is such a stupid meme. It's almost as dumb as functional strength. At best you are working slightly more muscle fibers. It's not like you do actually squat up that much weight resting on your shoulders in real life.
Tate = gem
still looks better than a soi jak

What is up with that weak ass jaw/ lack of chin?
There's not much to say really
He just has bad face genetics
I think he's tall, so that probably counterbalances it
His head shape is fricked, I guess it's mutt genetics but in pics like this
he looks like a moronic pinhead with his ears sticking out 5 inches off his head, making it look even smaller and more chimp-like. His brother mogs him so hard it's not even funny, and the only thing that's different between them is the hair, concealing the microcephalic top of his head.
I would not think twice seeing him step off the short bus. He legitimately looks like a moron. Perhaps he suffered some kind of head trauma as a child. Maybe the doctor squeezed his head too hard upon birth. I dunno but he has the look.

I was expecting him to go on a rant about how it's gay and it's for women etc.
But he just said that he fricked his back one time doing it, honestly it's so uninteresting that I don't even get why you bothered sharing it, just a complete waste of time
Everytime i am doing squats, this weird noise comes out of my knees which makes me concerned about my form. I don't feel any pain in my back, but my knees feel a little sore after squat sessions, i am just wondering if i am not fricking up my knees with time.
you are frickinng up your knees thats what i did lmao. see a pt and if you dont want to check out some hip/ankle mobility exercises i recommend squat university or that one ryan humiston vid about knees

Well, he's a clown for sure, and his fans are the punchline.
I get a searing pain at the back of my head that stays for like an hour after squatting/deadlifting, wtf is happening?
He's not even advising against squats. He literally just says that he once hurt his back when doing squats.
so he's a moron? holy shit every new bit of info about this guy makes him seem like more of a spastic. If zoomers are this easy to scam I might try it for myself.
I don't like squat, I like sprint. Feels more natural and explode my legs when running uphill and sometimes lested. I don't have massive legs but sprint gave me good strength and energy. After 3-4 sets of traumatising sprint to failure your body is so exhausted that it gives you so much endorphines, energy and horniness.
Squats give me good sore and good pump but It doesnt feel as good as sprint.
What exercises were doing Athenians for legs tho I wonder
Dude just lift with perfect form. Just do 10 reps for 3 sets perfectly and keep doing it three times a week, every week for the next 10 years. Just do the same movement 46,800 times and never mess it up or let your ego creep in to the point where you lift too heavy once in those 10 years. Just do that and you'll never frick up your spine and permanently injure yourself. What? Is that too unrealistic? Don't you know all these 50 year old weightlifters who have never experienced an injury in their lifetime? There's many of them out there bro. They just kept perfect form and didn't lift too heavy. So simple anyone can do it.
>dyel chatting shit instead of just lifting
same old shit, different day
I squat heavy (500lb+) and plenty of my reps have dog shit form. The notion that one bad rep will AACK you is DYEL cope. I've never seen anyone get injured squatting that wasn't:
>A blatant roidtroony with weakened tendons due to steroid abuse attempting some insane new PR (some shit like 600x10 or a powerlifting 1rm etc). You see these sorts of people get injured on every exercise.
>Some moron who didn't use a full rack with properly set up safeties (like that Vicky dude who just died) or just squat out in the open with bumper plates so they can drop the bar
>Some idiot lifting 4pl8+ on a cheap shit $50 Amazon Basics bar that can't handle it
Go ahead and try to find even one video of a normal (non roidtroon) person hurting themselves squatting in a properly set up rack with a good bar. You can't.
Literally just do couple sets of paused squats every week. Shit will force you to use correct form even if you have no idea what you're doing.
This, just go ATG and pause at the bottom for a couple of secs then push back up. Also do front squats.
why would pausing at the bottom make you use your hips correctly? because no momentum and legs to weak to drive it up? people frick their backs by not using hips properly.
There's a video of Canelo squattin.. I think roughly 275lbs? Undisputed, multi weight class boxing champ can squat and not die then this homosexual can stop talking.
That's not very much.
It is for someone focused on boxing.
It's not. Boxers push off with their legs. It's awful unless he was doing for high reps
People who aren't cowards
so... morons and poor people. got it.
t. coward
just saying, man. the only people i see fighting in the streets here in philly are moronic poorgays.
also, never seen your boyfriend tate fight anyone outside the ring so not sure what shit you're pushin here....
this but unironically, squats with proper form are safe, but don't expect beginners to use proper form and proper weight. Especially if they already have leg strength but no lower back strength from leg presses.
Just admit it, squats are gay as frick.
that's Mike Thurston? sad to see he's interacting with the cringe lord Tate
Timely. Literally just injured myself squatting. Middle of third set. Sharp pain lower back. Dropped the weight. Managed to get home. Tried to walk up stairs, lower back spasmed and it took me 10 mins just to recover enough to crawl upstairs.
Had someone look at my back, not slipped. Trapped nerve, pulled muscle I think. Wut do?
Keep moving and restructure your training around the injury duh
Can't wait until this Black person gets convicted and rots away in prison
Andrew Tate is a blatant homosexual whose father correctly abandoned him
based
its ok to be a loser anon
Tate is obnoxious idiot.
But I don't squat and deadlift. I feel these exercises put too much strain on body, unless you are genetically gifted. It's just not worth it.
I got great results without them. Yeah I can't squat 400lbs but who cares, I'll never need that strength in real life and impressing gym bros just isn't very high in my list.
why can't you just do regular sissy body weight squats? even spiritual sun worshipers do squats outside with their balls out
>404 chin not found
Who's that fat leftie, another james cordon?
Pretty sure he doesn't argue with Tate at all. They just had a discussion about "business". He made his thumbnails like that to make it seem to normies and stupid people that he's standing up to the big, mean scary misogyny man.
He's right. I bet you bozos also still read books.
literally true about reading fiction though, takes some real mush-brain
It's also true about non-fiction books. And I'm talking from experience.
Most books have absurd amounts of unnecessary filler to make them reach the 250-300 page mark. 99% of "useful" books out there could be summarized in a long 10,000-word blog post without losing any meaning.
On top of that, if what you need is useful, practical information, there are dozens of other ways to get it more effectively. The answers you need will be in some article you can find through Google or a short video on YouTube.
There you will get the information in 15–30 minutes instead of wasting >10 hours reading a book. Reading books to learn is unironically a form of procrastination. There is no lower ROI path to success.
In the Information Age, books are an obsolete format.
The only reason we feel that we should read more is because we're constantly surrounded by propaganda guilt-tripping us about not reading "enough". Guilt is a very powerful way to influence people's behavior.
Newsflash: This propaganda benefits megacorporations such as Amazon that essentially monopolize the digital book distribution market.
I am humbled by the fact that Tate instinctively realized that while it took me years and dozens of books to figure it out.
Here's another millionaire talking about it: https://youtu.be/zQu_MDL-Enk
you're a colossal homosexual and you should seriously consider suicide btw
>overly emotional, pissy, hissy-fit reaction
I accept your surrender.
That's true but also irrelevant. 99% of normies don't know about LibGen or how to pirate a book.
If they want it they'll just pay for it, they won't even bother.
>normies don't know about LibGen or how to pirate a book.
>google "book pdf download"
>1.000.000 results
>This propaganda benefits megacorporations such as Amazon that essentially monopolize the digital book distribution market
Anon, you do realise that books are THE easiest thing to pirate and hoard, right?
I read mostly non fiction books and what you describe as "filler" is necessary for understanding a topic in further depth. Yes you can sumarize most books in a 10,000 word blog post and you will probably understand the general idea/jist of the book but you will never really understand it and fully get your head around that topic. It really comes down to what your goals are for reading something.
Personal opinion, but I don't think you can ever fully "get your head around a topic" by just reading about it.
The only way you can ever truly know something is from experience. Personal firsthand experience will always teach you 10x faster and the lessons will be internalized 10x deeper.
When you read something, you may think you "know", but you will never truly *understand* it until you practice what is taught.
You will never get any more than the general idea/gist of something if you just read about it, no matter how detailed the explanations and how many examples provided.
Reading more and more has extremely early diminishing returns, and the opportunity cost of the dozens of hours you'll spend on it is massive.
You will always eventually forget about it if it isn't cemented with personal first-hand experience relevant to your life.
Which is why I kept re-reading non-fiction books trying to make the message sink deeper in my mind, to no avail. It's a fool's errand.
I think it depends on the topic. If you want to learn about automobiles for example, then working as a mechanic will be more beneficial than reading about it. But this doesn't work for everything. How else can you fully understand something like Ancient Greece history for example other than by reading about it? There isn't really a way you can practice something like that in person.
furthermore the ancient greeks writing about ancient Greece wrote about wars and battles they were never a part of, if they even served in the military at all yet remain valuable primary sources for them
You can sit online and read other peoples works all day, or you can get in the field, observe first hand how the artifacts were unearthed, learn the ancient tongue and study it's usage and formulate your own, well educated theses.
maybe if you read ya / scifi or bottom of the barrel fiction like American pyscho
Remember when he got completely humiliated by an autistic scandi-goblin, spent the whole day seething about it on twitter, then made a video reply (because of how not mad he was) that amounted to nothing more than "no, u".
Probably glad he got arrested the next day so he could hide from the shame
What colour is his father?
respect the hustle
replacing back squats with picrel was the best decision i ever made
exactly the same muscle gains, better carry to real life situations
back squat is just a powerlift exercise for fat fricks, literally 100% of back squat enthusiasts are obese and ugly
Why not both? I go up to 180kg Squats and end with Splits and Lunges.
goodbye knees.
>exactly the same muscle gains
They work glutes way more than quads.
>i have a big event tomorrow which needs my body in its freshest form so i'll do a totally new exercise which is known to be dangerous if done improperly
make total sense
I just alternate between heavy kettlebell squats and medium weight hex bar squats/deadlifts. Just do lighter weight and more reps with good form. I blew out a disc doing RDLs like 8 years ago and I can do both of these no problem.
it probably was bad form but the fact is that everyone doing it at first is going to have shit form and it takes a long time for most people to develop the range of motion to do it properly therefore you should either work on rom first or just do leg press instead.
>just do leg press
I think this is useless. I die a little inside if I have to squat 100kg for reps but I can do 300kg leg press while playing candy crush on my phone until tomorrow.
You'd really have to be a moron to replace squat with leg press but I think that leg press can be great for hypertrophy, I usually do them after my squat/rdl and it give a nice bump, usually go in the range of 10-15 reps
>squats are hard
>make up a bunch of reasons not to do them
I don't do squats because I get light headed.
Low blood sugar
So just eat some candy before squats?
Cobra tate has spoken.
Low center of gravity is extremely useful.
sqauts aren't that risky of an exercise. if you are squating over 250lbs you should use a belt. if you lift heavy use a squat rack and fricking set the safety bars so you can exit the exercise without killing yourself.
deadlifts are risky and blow out many backs.
I agree. I have slipped discs multiple times from deadlifts. I have completely stopped doing them and find other ways to engaged glutes and hamstrings in other exercises.
You know you're supposed to push deadlifts with your legs and not pull them with your back, right? One braindead cue and some hip mobility stretching trivializes the risk of back injury. As a matter of fact, majority of deadlift related injuries are torn biceps from mixed grip or touch'n go deadlifting.
Unfortunately, I am white and do not have a gay alien skull. I will have to disregard this video OP.
>gay alien skull
you mean like wonder woman? seriously that b***h had a xenomorph skull
Anyone antiposting is a moron.
Including me.
least gay video of him
I do low weight high rep front squats and they feel good in my quads and abs.
i dont know about you gays but whenever i hit squats the feeling over the next few days feel like i really hit my legs good, as opposed to when i just do machine exercise, i dont do heavy squats (because i cant) so i think ill be okay and the feeling of barely being able to walk up stairs or sit on the toilet for 3-4 days is nice
I don't think I've ever done a leg days without starting first with barbell squat so no idea what you're talking about. The simple fact that someone would start a leg day with anything else than bbs/squat hack is just odd to me
I honestly don't hate Tate anymore
He's grown on me
Sure he's a scumbag scammer with an unwarrantedly huge ego (yeah kickboxing titles are fricking nothing, there was probably maximum 10 people at the tournament, try UFC, pussy).
But he's cool in some ways
I probably like his brother more
>yeah kickboxing titles are fricking nothing, there was probably maximum 10 people at the tournament, try UFC, pussy
I mean holy shit
If he went to Thailand he would get demolished by literal 16 year olds
If he's level 100, then what is Rodtang? Level 1,000,000?
I'm assuming you are a frequent user of tiktok? That's the only way I can imagine someone's brain melting enough to 'grow' on tate. Either that or you've spent the last month running into a wall and have literal brain damage.
No, but sometimes his shorts pop up on youtube or instagram.
Fact is I agree with him on most things, I just didn't realise that at first because his gigantic ego made me want to strangle him
Also he's moronic with money
Even if you can make more money doesn't mean you should spend all your money on sports cars that instantly lose 50% of their value the second you drive them off the lot
Plus he wears a Hublot watch, and Hublot are trash, and despite being rich he only got a 15k one; if I was filthy rich I'd at least be rocking a Patek
You've said 4 bad things about him but not what you actually agree with. Because if it's shit like "masculinity is under attack" or "women are actually untrustworthy" congratulations it's the same message thousands of men have been saying for years. But for some reason this is the moron that gets the limelight and he's the dumbest of the lot so now every legit discussion on masculinity has to have this spastic injected into it.
He's popular specifically because people hate him and talk about him like ITT.
He knows that, which is why he plays up his persona so much.
That's pretty smart tbh.
I forget that to you kids internet clout = success.
Actual consequences on yourself or the people around you be damned. Muh social media numbers go up therefore success.
>Gets hate
>Gets tons of fame
>Gets fame
>Sells them a course teaching them how to be like him
>Profit massively
Yeah it is success, at least in his case.
Who gives a shit if normies like you when you're rich?
I'd give a shit if I ended up in prison for it LOL.
But my numbers goooo uppp looook. on the tiktoks!!!
He didn't go to jail for being disliked, he went to jail because he (allegedly) did shitty criminal stuff.
I won't defend him on that, forcing women into sex work is disgusting.
I don't even like sex workers who do it because they want to.
>I won't defend him on that, forcing women into sex work is disgusting.
Well you basically are considering his redeeming factor to you is that he is rich. You think he went into sex trafficking out of sheer passion? No, he made money from that too.
>I can ignore the literal human trafficking because he's funny and internet famous
pathetic.
What's pathetic is judging someone's whole life and all their works based on one thing.
That's leftist logic.
>Oh no, JK Rowling said trannies aren't real women! How can I ever enjoy Harry Potter again?
I've started to enjoy talking to tate fans, because you guys are great at showing me what pure stupidity looks like.
>What's pathetic is judging someone's whole life and all their works based on one thing.
You mean judging somebody on their actions? So you don't think people should be held accountable? Now THAT sounds like leftist logic kek.
p.s. I criticised everything else about him, you just need to grasp at straws to defend your new daddy
>comparing "problematic" tweets with sex trafficking
I like people doing squats cause I hate the people who do them and know they are fricking up their backs, I take enjoyment knowing the agony that will befall them in the years to come.
im not trying to be racist but... I dont really feel andrew tate speaks for me because he is simply utterly not part of my tribe... if that makes sense.
>Lift too heavy with shitty form
>It's the exercise's fault
You can use moronic load on any movement and it will frick you up. AFAIK bench is the lead cause of injuries and gym deaths.
>Alhamdullilah
>@masculinization
I quit doing squats because I don't have fun doing them
I just do barbell leg press for quads now, can't go as heavy but it's a lot more fun
>that chud jawline
I do exercises i find fun to do, not hearing some weak chin baldie
The issue with the squat isn't whatever bullshit tate is saying, it's that men typically ONLY squat for leg gains whereas for upper body they autistically hit every muscle group with compounds and isolations. So a lot of men develop muscle imbalances in their legs which leads to joint problems. Squats are good for you iff:
>you go ass to grass
>you supplement with leg curls, extensions, and calf and tibialis work
And then just don't ego lift your squats and your back will be fine.
Nah, you can get away with doing just squats depending on what you are training for. Powerlifting doesn’t need a whole lot of isolation, just squats and squat variations.
I sweat I’m over these “omglolwtfbbq <insert influencer here> just sed no more <insert lift here>” theeads. You assclowns that take this shit seriously - just stay out of the gym. No one wants your “but akshully” ass around. You complain on here about squats and deads then go to the gym and do meme shit like bosu ball calf raises with bands. Frick off.
There's no way that giraffe-necked frickboy squats with good form
What makes this chinless israelite think that he is an authority on anything to determine what is good or bad for you.
>MFW doing squats today after watching the OP's video
>listening to a bowling pin
Lifting is fricking dangerous. Period.

My knees hurt from squatting, wat do?
