So if you're squatting to build bigger quads, this isn't the article you're looking for. They squat that way because it's the best for quad hypertrophy, period. Many powerlifters make fun of the bodybuilder squat as it leaves a lot of weight on the table, but you have to remember that success leaves clues, and if a powerlifting squat built bigger quads, bodybuilders would certainly do them. It helps to think of it this way вЂ“ one is all about muscle and the other is all about movement. In powerlifting, whatever method or stance that allows you to move the most weight is the right stance for you. On the other hand, a powerlifting squat is geared towards minimizing tension and just focusing on the movement. It's all about tension, or isolating the quads while minimizing involvement of the lower back and glutes (to a degree). They are markedly different things and require entirely different approaches.ДЄ bodybuilder squat is typically much narrower, more upright, and activates the quads through a much greater range of motion. It's not squatting for optimal leg development. Bodybuilding SquatДЇirst off, this is about building a stronger squat. And when they pound away and don't get bigger or stronger вЂ“ or worse, get injured вЂ“ it's just a matter of time until they just stop doing them.Д«ut that's not you, right? Disclaimer: Powerlifting vs. Even the most gifted squatter will at times look down at the puddle of puke between his legs and ask why the hell they're doing this to themselves. To be perfectly frank, they can be hard as fuck. Unfortunately, squats aren't the easiest movement in the world to do.

But you'll never really be strong вЂ“ stronger than the average guy, sure, but not the type of strong you dreamed of becoming when you first set foot in a gym.ДЇor that kind of strength, you need a heavy bar on your back. After all, you can still build a powerful looking body without ever entering a power rack. Squat plateaus have caused many strong lifters to stop competing, or quit powerlifting entirely. When your squat stalls, everything comes into question вЂ“ from the obvious things like setup, technique, and programming вЂ“ to the more deep-seated factors, like whether you're just too much of a pussy to move any real weight. Knowing VERY well if it was not for you we would not be here, let alone for 15 years, I made an executive decision and am publishing this as a big ass 16,000 word article.

Oh, and the ad said that after June 26, the price goes up to $25.00 because Tom turns 50! What's that got to do with it? A little extra $10.We were going to put this with a bunch of other articles together into a Squat Manual that we could sell or give away as a promotional item. If I have to 'eat' the $15.00, then so be it. I am curious to see if he is going to make this right or not. I e-mailed him, voicing my dissatisfaction with his product and asked for my money back, even though his ad says, No Refunds. For a bodybuilder of his reputation, this product is very much beneath him. The whole thing just looks like a copy of an article on leg training he did a long time ago for Flex or Muscle and Fitness. Maybe he considers the xeroxed cover copies to be the photo. The mailing envelope said, Photos Inside. If so, then the price goes down a little to $2.50 a sheet. That comes to $3.00 a sheet! You do get a cover sheet with 2 of his pictures on it which is the xerox copy of the real manual's cover, so maybe he counts that as 6 sheets. You get about 5 sheets of xeroxed copy paper for $15.00. The pages are numbered in by hand with an ink pen or pencil in the upper left hand corner. Fine, but the quality of the pictures is so poor (black), that you can hardly tell what its supposed to be. He says on his website that what you are getting is a xeroxed copy. If any of you are thinking of ordering this manual from his website, save yourself $15.00 and DON'T. I just received a copy of Tom Platz's Leg Training Manual to add to my collection and sad to say but I was really shocked at the poor quality.
