Jay doesn't like to squat?

I only do smith squats. I'll trade balancing a free bar for more weight any day. When I do legs I only want to do legs. I don't care if my trunk isn't getting worked from not balancing the free bar because I don't want it to. I do abs on their own day anyways. 2 days a week for abs actually.

Squats = awesome.

I guess this place is hardcore enough for everything but squats...

Ask Tom Platz if leg press/hack squat/smith squat is good enough to get legs like his:

I looooooove squats! Best feeling ever

I do all kinds of squats. Back squats, front squats, zercher squats, box squats, etc.

very true.. I did smith squats last weekend for the first time in a long time, and it definitely worked my quads a hell of a lot more than my hams/hips/glutes, like free weight squats did

Is called genetics, either you have them or you don't.

I thought that was only with calves.

All Jay said was that he didn't like squats; then people here have apparently interpreted it to mean that he doesn't/didn't squat, or that it's not necessary to. But he does...
