Squatting deep may not always work for everyone. I suggest just squatting the way that works best for you.

Anyway, they're coming along fine. Just keep working at it and you'll have sick wheels in no time.

well squating 6 inches never did a damn thing for anybody.

Calm down buddy. How would you know that? Have you asked every weight lifter in the world how they squat and if it worked for them? Many pro bodybuilders have a short ROM in the squat and have some of the best legs in the business.
I never even said a 6 inch squat. I said what works best for you so where did you even get that from?
Think before you run your mouth and with an attitude.

[apurplehaze08]

Im sorry, excuse my tone, I should have put a little smiley face. I simply inferred that since I spoke of deep squats, at least parallel, you must be talking about half squats. I dont know what else I was to conclude from that. I guess YOU didnt think on that one. And no, I obviously haven't spoken to every bber, I just know that those with the best legs and physiques overall do perform a full ROM.

Also, please drop some names of these bbers you speak of, I'm curious to see some tom platz lookin legs from limited ROM.

nice leg
Great

Maybe not the BEST legs in the business, but some bber's with pretty good quads have achieved it without deep squats. Right now, Lee Priest, Hidetada Yamagishi, and Wong Hong come to mind. Wong Hong has AWESOME wheels but he doesn't even squat in general!

Only one I could find of a young Lee Priest squatting:
YouTube - Young Lee Priest squats 5 plates
Even with short ROM, he had great quads back then.

Hidetada Yamagishi:

You're basically telling this dude what will work for HIM. It's up to him to find what techniques, forms, ROM's, etc, work for him. Telling him to SQUAT in general is helpful, but it's up to him to find what type of squat will benefit him without causing injury either.

I'm stressing this because I always see people doing what people tell them and they're never growing. Just do what works best for you.

Now I'm not saying full ROM isn't important, because it is, but in some circumstances, full ROM isn't necessary to fully grow.

ahahahahah listen out for ronnie in the back of this one....

Yeah I'm pretty tall 6'2 so going as far as going ass to grass I'm just not able to go as heavy as I want to. I think my legs are my strongest part and I usually never squat below parralel. Now that I think about it, I probably made the best progress on my quads (unfortunately not hammies) when I did squats a little above parralel and went really heavy lol. Thats definitely contrary to what everybody says about squats but I don't train worrying about if this will satisfy the form of everybody else.

Exactly! Thank you for proving my point.

And to Mr Moley, yeah, I heard him in the background, too. Pretty funny hahaah

[apurplehaze08]

Hold on there, he said he makes progress in his quads, not hammies. Sure, I'll agree that limited ROM will give you results for your quads, but unless you get down, your just not going to stimulate you hams. Thats why, as a LEG exercise, not a QUAD exercise, its best to go low on squats. And I'm sure you'll have exceptions to that too but I think of squats as an entire leg, and body for that matter, work out. But you are right, everyone should find what works best for them. I guess I'll be more politically correct next time and avoid getting attacked.

Didn't mean to really attack you. Low squats are a great ham exercise indeed but I just felt that my quad was really not getting much from it. So I just work harder when I work out my hamstrings so they're still getting worked up a lot. Personally, my hamstrings and quads have been improving so much even with just half squats.

[I 4m Legend]

I rotate between front squats, deep back squats, half squats for quads and and I think they all have particular merit. I get enough work on my hammies with Stiff Leg Deadlift and Lunges. I think you are both right because the last thing you want to do is give a person new to the sprort too much information but at the same time there is indivualized training routines developed for that person because not everybody is the same. The point is to everybody "shut up and squat". Or do whatever works for you lol. We'll just see come comp time.

[Mr Moley]

So noones noticed my package in the photo? :)

[aznsyndicate609]

lmaoo.

[Mr Moley]

just thought i'd point it out as i only just noticed it myself XD

[aznsyndicate609]

Hahah, I noticed it awhile ago when I slowly scrolled down the page. I was just like uhm...
haha.

[yotajay]

Nice quads dude.


What I find works for me is diversity. Switch up your exercises and the weight you use. So for example my first leg day i would do Heavy Squats Heavy leg press Heavy lunges....... heavy heavy heavy basically and obviously with this method it woul be lower reps, then the next week I ouwld go lighter weight and way higher reps (in the 10 - 18 range) this has been working for me.
