…And then he added 100 pounds to his squat in one month. Does this seem odd?

not really. If something was really holding him back, addressing the problem can be like freaking magic.[/quote]
Yep. Pussies gonna hate.

As mentioned, it wasn’t a “strength” gain per se.

Edit: to whom it may concern, coming out of the hole I would pull left, felt like a rubber band pulling me more so than a weak point. Moving up my body would over compensate and I did a little wiggle at the midpoint of the movement; costing strength and no doubt setting me up for injury.

Anyways, the lunges really opened up my hips and stretched my hamstrings. If it makes a reader feel better, you could say I was then able to squat to my existing level of strength instead of under it. Whatever makes you happy.

Louie Simmons sycophants. That post was almost word-for-word a Louie Simmons copy/paste, despite being nearly irrelevant to raw squatting.

OMG i can squat more than i can deadlift.Keep in mind that eeven if you do them right you wont feel much in your quads unless you use olympic weightlifting shoes with a medium or close stance(beware of the close stance its kinda ard on the knee joints for some)
