    see here I thought it was tape worms that got rid of my fat- guess I'll need to go get a hair dryer

    I bet if you do both, you'll accidentally bulk up. Ain't nobody got time for dat!

    He's right. You don't "need to". Doesn't mean you shouldn't want to :-)

    Squat what you want, but he's right, you should be doing cardio as well. At least 15 minutes of cardio per workout. That's what melts the fat off faster.

    ummmm no a calorie deficit melts fat off ...


    Wrong again, it's a hairdryer that melts off fat.

    A hair straightener works faster, but the smell is much worse.

    It's the hairdryer...Are you sure? I thought the only way to melt off fat was to put your self in the dryer with the setting on high heat and spin ...hmm no wonder I am not losing..

    Squats are good for your body. So is cardio. Do both. :)

    Haha, I got a crack out of this. Thanks for posting.

    I, like almost everyone else agree your friend is a complete moron. I constantly have people tell me what I'm doing isn't right, or good or will make me "bulk up". I then laugh, and throw some research in their face and walk the other way.

    Do your own research, never rely on what others have to say.

    Keep up the hard work.

    A buddy of mine messaged me and told me I shouldnt be doing heavy squats. It wont lean me out, it will only make me stronger. He said I need to focus on cardio cardio cardio and some weights afterwards. Cardio to burn the fat first , then focus on weights. As long as I have been workingout, I should be leaner.
    Today was squat day and I only did 185lbs. 245lbs is my max.
    Of course I want to lose weight and lean out, but I love being strong and I love squats :ohwell:
    I know he is only trying to be helpful, but i love the weight room too much.

    I hope it wasn't one of those two inch curtsies people try to pass off as squats. I call them the squat rack shuffle.

    Dumb friend is dumb!

    Squats have always been the single best exercise a person can do.....

    I remember quite a few articles in "Muscle and Fitness" years and years ago that were titled "Do Squats to build arms"...they showed in those articles how the engagement of all the different muscle groups that get involved in squats created a much higher overall mass building effect for bodybuilders.

    Squat it girl...don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise...just ensure you don't slack on form!

    He sounds jelly; perhaps you squat more than he does?

    This, HA!!

    And I'm jealous; my max squats (for reps) is 205. :blushing:

    This, and I'm also jelly. I'll get there eventually...
