“There is no point in being alive if you cannot do the deadlift.” Jon Pall Sigmarsson, RIP.“

I wouldn’t tell somebody they weren’t a powerlifter because they would only bench press or they only benched and deadlifted. But what the hell is wrong with squatting? What are you, afraid? I thought powerlifters were supposed to be big, tough guys, you know? Strap your cock on, leave your pussy at home, and put a bar on your back and bend your knees.” Kirk Karwoski

I brought the Complete guide to dumbell training , a scientific approach by Fred Hatfield & Josh Bryant inside was this poem :

THE SQUAT
Down this road, in a gym far away,
a young man was heard to say,
"no matter what i do, my legs won't grow"
he tried leg extensions, leg curls, and leg presses , too
trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he'd do.
from the corner of the gym where the big men train,
through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain
where the noise is made with big forty fives,
a deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees.
a very big man with legs like trees.
laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack
chalking his hands and monstrous back,
said, "boy, stop lying and don't say you've forgotten,
the trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN'. "
