Not Your Average Rant:

There’s nothing like the squat. Period. I wish I could say otherwise but unfortunately this monstrous exercise teaches the basics that every beginner and bodybuilder/powerlifter or olympic weightlifter wannabe needs to know.

A few exercises can come close to what a heavy set of squats can do to your soul and even to your spirituality and self esteem and even those lack the sheer amount of challenge this movement has.

The bar is on your back or in rack position in the front on your clavicle bones the whole time. You cannot reset that much and lose stability even if you’re using a pendulum or a hack squat machine you’ve to keep your paste, be strong, believe in yourself and dive once more deep to the bottom and just when you think you’ve it no more you need to find all your crucial energies to get the bar up grinding each and every single inch through the motion. And then again rinse and repeat until you can re rack the bar and rest on the floor completely obliterated by the gigantic set you’ve done.

After that everything will seem like a piece of cake, even deadlifts and also leg presses and bulgarian splits. That’s because the squat builds the fortitude of the mind, not the body. And those who never learned how to squat properly below parallel for a full medium to heavy set are the same ones who b*tch constantly about the fact that: “they can’t get big legs no matter what”.

That’s why you will always need to squat to remind yourself of how strong you can be mentally, how far you can take a set, how close to failure you really are and more over how hard you’re still working in the long run as a bodybuilder.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:

keep reps low especially as a beginner. You’re not Tom Platz and you don’t want to puke in a bucket at each and every single set. stay in the 4-5 rep range and build up to triples or heavy singles once in a while.
Increase load rather than reps (always remember that the main benefit of many compound movements is that they allow you to get the most out of low rep ranges with heavy to medium loads)
Choose what suits you, not what others do. If you’ve longer limbs like Arnold did, switch to front squat to avoid lower back involuntary fatigue to build more your quads instead of your posterior chain.
If you’ve access to machines, use them. (remember we are bodybuilders not weightlifters if Arnold had access to the machines we have now he would probably have used an hack squat or a pendulum machine instead of doing free weights)
