SQUATZ Anonymous
I have a really simple question: What kind of squat is superior, barbell squat or dumbbell squat?

squats are overrated, also they're likely to damage your knees. don't do them.

don't do any damn stupid weighted squats... body weight is ALL you need (and is better exercise functionally)

seriously... if you want some punishment, do 1500 squat jumpies in a day... we rowers know what we are talking about...

you get better form and a hell of a lot more explosive power out of squat jumpies or frogmans (jump forward out of a squat into full extension before landing into another squat

and that wimp posting about knees? lulz... i ha(ve/d) juvenile arthritis... and honestly i can tell you that i've felt more stability and fewer arthritic episodes after crew than before it.


in conclusion: the ultimate workout is a rotation not in this order of sprints, long runs, frogmans, lunges, core-exercise-of-choice.... yes i'm biased, get over it

Troll, ignore

Barbell back and front squats are superior, you can use more weight and the weight is focused more on the central plane of your body.

i'm not fucking kidding... that isn't a normal workout... it was my ill-gotten gain from showing up late to a regatta... normally 100-500 is pretty intense when doing them in any sort of normal workout...

my point is that the economy model of a gym is in fact free and just as good too most athletes or fit nonathletes

How long does it take you to really feel them?

depends on what you were doing before... and for how long... but the day where i was doing squats instead of racing.... it started to burn a fair bit at 300... and i felt like collapsing at 850... i had to stop there and break for an hour before doing the next 200... then i took a 40 min break... another 200... another 40 min break... 150... 40 min break... 100... collapse

i'm sure people could do it faster but i wasn't in peak condition at the time and rowing consists pretty much entirely of pushing real hard with your legs for a long time

doing no weighted squats for rowing is kind of clever, since it emulates the movement of the legs in the boat.
However, if you want to be able to lift heavy, weights are the choice.
Two different goals, two different approaches.

>>52721He didn't ask for bodyweight squats did he? If you're training for explosive power and what not go a head with box jumps etc.


Weighted squats are researched to be top exercise that releases muscle growth hormones which help you go gain muscle around the WHOLE body not just legs.

you will also feel pumped after doing them...next time you do 4 sets of heavy squats try doing any other exercise right after. Thats why I do bench press right after and be able to lift much heavier than other days.
