john what would u advice a non-strength athlete who just wants bigger legs and doesnt care about strength at all(aka hypertrophy lover)?still squatting everyday?

[BROZKNOWS]

@kwstas67 yes, but with sets of 20+ reps. after you get over the dizzy spells and vomiting, your legs will get big - not strong, but big.

i will say that was very good but, i would like to no y mr.mendes hasnt gone to a national meet in awhile? i mean hes doing really good weight

[BROZKNOWS]

@ThatZombieGuy13 you mean like winning the National Championships 2 weeks ago?

Hey Broz, really appreciate all the advice, quick question, can i do front squats everyday after my back squats if I feel like it? Or is there a limit to how often they should be done?

[BROZKNOWS]

@abcwarrior88 if you want to do both in same session, max fs then at failure switch to back and continue to go up

[BROZKNOWS]

@orkan84 reps=size. heavy = strength.

@BROZKNOWS yes i love hypertrophy .of course i respect strength athletes:)

i squat 6 times a week now and magically all my lifts increased :P.i see how it goes i train each bodypart 3 times basic stuff but i found out that quads and calves for me recover faster so maybe hit em more .i love big volumes :).upper body i feel its different though.for me i feel its more prone to joint pain and im a short mofo so lower body is going cool bit upper ,,,ahhh lol :(

[kwstas67]

@RyanOFelt he squats like 12 times a week

Dude, when you gonna represent the USA in the Olympics?

@needabloodyname There is a big difference between competition and training.  The videos you see of training could take 5 attempts but we only see the successful ones. In competition, you don't get the luxury of all of those misses. You also control the entire warm-up leading up to your big attempts in training.
