When i was squatting like a b1tch something like this ^^ LOL
My knees were constantly killing me.... Im 23 yrs old but through lots of manual labor and sports My knees are pretty screwed.. However , once i started squatting correctly i actually felt a big relief [ in general ] as far as my knees...

I put on aprox 50 lbs, in about 21 months, Squatting usually 2x a week, and deadlifting weekly, While gaining very little BF... [naturally] of course with a great diet and dedication..... Although that was then this is now ^_^
Certaintly without those beautiful compound movements i would of never gained so much mass and strength....

Dunno what that guy in the video was doin.. I also squat and deadlift twice per week, great for adding size. All depends on the person i supose.

i HATE squats. the only thing i hate worse than squats, are lunges. the first couple years that i lifted, i rarely did 'em. now i do machine squats (still don't do lunges). i've learned that with bodybuilding, you HAVE to keep it as fun as you can for yourself. so if you hate a particular exercise, try to find a similar one that you can tolerate. never listen to anyone who tells you that without "this" exercise, you won't grow. as long as you're busting your ass (and eating right), the muscles will grow.

You are not a bodybuilder if you dont look forward to squats. I will take my standard squats with good form any day over a machine squat.

Too many guys are afraid. I was the same way.

I said i have bad knees, i have a torn rotator cuff, they hurt my back, etc. Then when i got serious i realized that squats were helping me. They helped to strengthen my body overall.

Pretty much if you are scared of squats and dont love that feeling of exhaustion and jelly legs after you finish, then you cant say you are a bodybuilder

that's ignorant

agreed. i never said machine squats were BETTER for building muscle. but they're a good enough substitute, and if you're hitting the limbs just as hard with other exercises, you'll be fine. same with deadlifts. i don't deadlift all the time either, and my back is definitely not lacking. besides...pull-ups > deadlifts
