The Seduction of Squats

Since starting some weightlifting, in a fairly light, not-at-all hardcore approach, I can appreciate more the lifter mentality. It's a great workout, and, for me, driving [little girlie bits of] iron is much more gratifying than using machines. I love squats. I'm only a novice at them -- I do goblet squats and haven't gone beyond sets with 30kg (yes, little mini baby starter squats) -- but I can appreciate the squat mentality and find this video funny and accurate.

I saw this at conditioning research, which references some good reasons I might want to tone down my enthusiasm for weighted squats before too long. When I can do bulgarian split squats with 100kg across my shoulders, I'll let you know.
