Your thoughts?
I found out this week that my Friday workout regimen stems from a cult in which uncontrollable vomiting is a badge of honor and death from working out is the first step on the path to canonization. The New York Times has the story.
Coach Gibbons Friday:
1000 meter row
10 squats
(15 times, every minute on the minute. Simple yet diabolic.)
1000 meter row
In theory, I finished the squats and push-presses in 15 minutes; in practice, I needed a break whenever my inner thighs turned to jelly. So, the actual routine was 6 sets-break-4 sets-break-3 sets-break-2 sets-near death experience.

Squats will kill your knees, and they build muscles that keep you from leaping. You never see dancers doing squats.
The white person site, I have mixed feelings towards it. Too many rightists like it. That is a red flag.
Ren is right about squats.
There is a form of lunge that you can do that provides great benefit, but stretchs tendons and muscles in a positive way.
Love, C.
On the other hand, I can squat to look at the lowest shelf in a book store and then stand up without having to get on one knee first or push off with my hands. Still, I will check this out with my trainer.
