What is IST's and TikTok fitness zoomers obsession with squatting and having overdeveloped legs? Have big thick quads makes you look retarded, unaesthetic, and unathletic LMAO
Well developed legs are strong and lean made for sprinting, jumping, throwing, etc., not for squatting 3x5 and leg curls
>pic related, actual aesthetic and well developed legs
Zoomers are all sissies at heart
H-hot
Having this saved on your comp is a little gay bro ngl.
>a little
Also where do you think you are?
On a fitness board. IST being gay is a meme and I refuse to acknowledge it.
It may have been a meme for awhile but like a lot of memes they have been misconstrued by people who actually believe they are welcome here. There's a name for that effect I just can't remember it.
It's my choice whether I acknowledge it or not. And I don't. You're not wrong though.
Poe's Law
Those are some well developed quads though
What's the matter, failed your first 3pl8 squat? Have you seen sprint cyclists? They have horse sized thighs and can squat a house, are they unathletic?
Squats has been a fundamental and time tested exercise in many strength & conditioning programs for a reason. They work.
Sprint cyclists are hardly representative of every athlete, they're basically one of only a few kinds of athletes that really want thighs that big. That being said there is nothing wrong with wanting big legs.
>failed your squat
Nope, I stopped weighted squats a year ago when I took a step back and realized how retarded big quads look
My gf likes me with a strong but lean upper body and a medium lower body. I agree that I look way more aesthetic this way than I would with fuckhuge thighs. I think only dudes like massive legs and who gives a shit what other guys think lmao.
This is unironically true. And saying "squats have always been a staple in athletic training!" Is pure cope and misleading. IST wouldn't know this because most of this board have never played sports and are socially retarded rejects, but athletes do high volume, medium weight squats. Only power shitters, literal fatfuck NFL players, and gay for pay bodybuilders do low volume max weight squats.
Literally everyone in high school weight training and the main sports (baseball, basketball, football) in my state does heavy squats with the goal of increasing 1RM
Because they're zoomers and highschool coaches are uneducated midwits who copy what they see on the internet
I don't see why getting kids under the bar with the goal of increasing their lower body strength is a bad idea
Fag
It's not the only exercise lmao you closet fags see what you want to see
>I want to balloon up young mens ass and thighs
Hmmm ....
Rippletoe at it again
Squats are an ancient exercise. Homer praised Odysseus for his built quads and shoulders in the odyssey
You just proved OPs point, ancient greeks did jumping/sprinting/calisthenics mostly. If they did squats it was bodyweight or with a light weight/high rep (halteres)
>look at this one cherry picked example of roiders competing in a sport than revolves around riding an unnatural contraption not found in nature!
Sprint cyclers look horrific compared to sprint runners though.
They want to pegged by a maternal lady
Post body let's see your aesthetic legs bossman
Seeing different fitness trends over the year is fucking hilarious. Idk why you think zoomers are particularly interested in squats, but barbell compound movements were all the rage in the 2013 era. Guess it went out of style.
Anti-leg day skipping propaganda
I do leg day, but leg day should be focused around endurance and explosive power, not building mass or slow twitch strength
>pic related, actual aesthetic and well developed legs
It's pretty hard to make it past those by accident though. You'd have to make it past 3pl8 squats for sets.
