Injury - most people don't know how to do them correctly and actually need to be taught how to do them. One false move or stumble and you throw your back out and are our for 4-8 weeks. 2. "Common knowledge" is rarely right and you have to apply it against your personal goals. Remember, we're looking for specific proportions and NOT necessarily gaining muscle over everybody part (like waist) But mainly it's number one. Put them in if you like them and know how to do them correctly. It's up to you. B Hey Keith, RE: Squats and Deads

It’s up to you.

I have to admit I could completely relate with Pierre's comment about being depressed and stuff. I always try to stay pretty lean (I guess very lean if you ask everyone else) and I can remember a while ago being stuck in this rut of eating 6 meals a day and trying to lose fat but not muscle. And everything would pretty much stay the same. I was eating enough to maintain but not lose and didn't want to eat less for fear of dropping muscle so I'd train six days a week, cranking 35-50 solid working sets a session. I didn't drink with mates, didn't eat with them and sometimes put off beach weekends cos I didn't want to miss a session. It was nuts and was totally bumming me out. But I'm pretty stoked since following this site and John and Brad's blog that everything works so much better doing less. I lost 4 kg over Christmas and New years without really trying and must have only hit the gym a maximum 3 times a week (most likely only twice). And I have a 1.5 AI score. The great thing is you can look good without trying too much and still have great times with friends and family. I think you guys are doing a really great thing here. Thanks. Hey guys

Shea p.s. I could tell you were a little unsure about the pronunciation of my name (story of my life, man), but its pronounced "Shay"...My parents could have saved me a lot of grief by just spelling my name Shae.

But I would like to get close to what I looked like when I was around 16 or 17. I haven't seen it in a while, but there was a picture that my Mom took of me when I was walking out of Walden Pond after a lovely swim- yes, that Walden Pond! lol. I have to admit, I looked pretty good! Obviously my "hormonal profile" or whatever is different at 28 years old than when I was in the middle of puberty, growing, etc. But if I could get somewhere near that, I would be very happy. It would be more work, for sure. I was thin without dieting and muscular without working out much (other than climbing trees, lol.) But it would be worth the effort.

Goal setting is great when we have the right goals in mind! You are right about people setting goals to look like this person or that person. That's just not realistic. Make a goal for you. Make a goal that's healthy for you! I like making small goals. When I reach one, I set another one. Meeting your goals is so satisfactory and a self-confidence booster!
