Over the past couple weeks I’ve been reading the “Vince Gironda Manifesto”<\/a> and it’s an awesome book that’s jam packed with the old-school training and nutrition methods that the bodybuilders of yesterday did to build their classic lean muscular physiques.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

One of the things that really stood out as I was reading the book is that Vince Gironda HATED doing regular barbell squats the way most bodybuilders and powerlifters do them.<\/p>\n

In his opinion, squats over developed the hips and glutes and ruined your symmetry.\"Vince<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I personally DO NOT think squats are a useless exercise like he did, I certainly feel that squats have an important part in any muscle building program, but I can see where he was coming from in his point of view. After all regular back squats do heavily work the hips, glutes, and hamstrings.<\/p>\n

However, just because Vince didn’t do back squats didn’t mean he never trained legs hard. In fact, one of his favorite leg moves was his “Special Gironda Front Squat Variation”<\/strong>. I did this move in my leg workout the other day and trust me it’s a Killer Quad Workout!<\/span><\/p>\n

(You may even find this move better than regular squats for building up the quadriceps!)<\/em>
