"There is simply no other exercise, and certainly no machine, that produces the level of central nervous system activity, improved balance and coordination, skeletal loading and bone density enhancement, muscular stimulation and growth, connective tissue stress and strength, psychological demand and toughness, and overall systemic conditioning than the correctly performed full squat."

I would have to disagree, respectively, with Mr. Rippetoe. The power clean, the clean and jerk and the snatch exercises put a greater amount of stress on the human body in every way. Squats are definitely right up there though, and you have to respect the squat exercise because a lot of people get hurt doing squats incorrectly.0 -

Great article, thanks for sharing! The 10-min vid was definitely worth watching, I'll be keeping those things in mind when I squat tomorrow.0

I have a love/hate relationship with squats - love what they do but hate having to do them - luckily the love relationship is flourishing more than the hate relationship lately :-)
Happy Squatting!0
