Anyone else with a post high?

Is it just me, or does squat give anyone else a high that is incapable of being matched by any other body part or workout routine?

I want to squat 7 days a week, i obviously know I can't since one I need rest, and two I perform cardio roughly 4 days a week.

Am I the only one that has developed an untamed love for squats?
 
I have a renewed interest In squats last few months. I enjoy the challenge. Back in my teenage years I couldn't stand squats. I would do just about anything to avoid them. the feeling of the weight trying to drive you in to the ground and fighting against it is a rush! Id like to get 405 that would be sweet
 
I fucked up on deadlifts early on in my lifting days I cant stomach the exercise no more. The deads are tailor made for injuries
 
I feel that if your squatting with proper form and all the way down you are truly working your legs to failure. I used to squat half ass. Sure I could rack 3 plates on each side but for what? I couldn't perform the proper form with it and my legs grew but eventually stalled and peaked with that performance. and I never really felt that much stronger in the lower body category neither.

It took me a while but I finally achieved proper 100% form and I had to leave my pride at the door for reaching such. But I feel so much better with a little of patience and look even greater in the leg area.

Lesson learned, it's not about the weight you lift. It's truly about the form. I can bench a plate and 25 on each side for 20 reps but at the end I look so much better then the guy next to me benching three plates on each end for 1-2 reps. And I can speak for a good chest because I feel it is my best feature. And I've never been able to break three plates for more then 6 reps.

Leave your pride at the door gentleman! It will certainly help in many other areas of life outside the iron jungle. ;)

That's some good advice there sir, alot of people (including myself) get carried away with how much weight they are pushing. Its funny watching guys bench or squat but not go down all the way. I saw a guy tring to hit 315 the other day but literally was only going down 6 inches. Proper form is the most basic principal that should go with any lift.
 
Squats and deads have always given me that satisfaction that I have pushed my body to it's maximum limit. For some bizarre reason, that is and always has been the reason I lift. There's probably some medical term for it. I'm not really into it for the look, but to challenge and always test my body's limit and challenge my brain ( or what's left of it) to overcome those mental roadblocks that tries to tell you to stop or that this lift is not possible.
 
I don't know how to feel about squats. I squat every Friday.
one week I go in and start doing my warm up and it feels like its going to break me in half,total bitch mode!
feels like I might not make it out alive.
the next week I'll go in and completely own that bitch.
Piling on plate after plate getting down in the pocket with zero doubt that I'm coming out and coming out strong.
form is good,no wobble.
when it's like this I don't even count sets I just role with moment and there's nothing like it.

It's a state of mind kind of deal with legs. I feel that if I don't feel it, I'll either rest or do something else that day in the gym. I have to be mentally prepared for things In order to pursue them. Some people are fortunate that don't have to put too much effort into things and still succeed. I guess it's a blessing on they're part.
 
agree with the mental aspect 100%
those shitty days I'll just end up doing some leg press ham curls calf raises a little core and im out.
I have a physical job as well and some weeks are just too much.
I've learned to listen to my body and rest when it tells me so.

those kill it days more then make up for it in the long run.

If this is a medical condition, we are lucky to be afflicted with it. The physique-enhancing benefits have become secondary to me; the true joy is in the process. I can't begin to imagine training solely as a means to an end.
 
Best thing about squat day is when you load up the bar and squat deep deep deep. Look around the gym you are separate from everybody. Like that guy...you know that guy who works biceps and chest everyday. YA HIM. You catch him watching you and you know he knows he ain't got what it takes. Separates men from the child

I mean you have to consider this. A physique is an everyday struggle. It's not something where you can achieve it's glory and it'll maintains itself afterwards. It's rather that everyday push and whether it's progress or regress. You return to it everyday because it truly is the fuel for your body to push onward.
 
Sometimes when I finish working out I get a little anxiety and depression. Pry coming down from the intense high of working out. I hit it hard, to the point I feel like throwing up.
 
I love squats as well - it's my heaviest lift that I can perform with proper form, and I see results from it VERY quickly. If only my chest would catch up with my legs! LOL
