My cousin posted this on facebook today, and I was very taken aback by it.

It's very aggressive and oh so many steroids references. I know a ton of y'all squat, so what's your take on it?

That's pretty funny.0

The parody article is kind of amusing, but I had no idea that there were people who actually argue against squats. Almost every fitness class ever makes liberal use of them.0

Squats require you to place a loaded barbell on top of your spine! It’s practically in direct contact with the vertebra. This is just stupid. It would be different if there were some kind of muscle group there, maybe trapezoidal in shape, that could form a cushion between the bar and your delicate spinal structure but since that hasn’t yet been discovered this statement is 100% accurate.
I died at this part.0 -

And the next day, I always have a strong argument against them!0 -

Oh man, are y'all serious?! I'm so naive. Sorry, y'all. Carry on with your lives now. XP
I'm not trolling I am just dumb. I'm a newbie lifter, and don't know all the technical names for muscles and that.0 -
1. They make you look awesome and people are mean to you because they're so jealous of your booty.0

If my math is correct, and according to my PhD. in Mathology from the correspondence college of Nigeria it is, the following formula illustrates my point perfectly:
L2*Sq=(R3/3I)531
I won’t bore you by actually explaining what any of that means in terms that any normal person could actually understand...
