Silent Mike is back again for another video talking out squats and deadlifts. Do I need to squat? Do I need to deadlift? What are other exercises I can do instead of squats and deadlifts?

First off exercise selection does matter and it's very dependent on the athlete, the history of the athlete and the ultimate goal of the goal of the athlete. If your goal is to be a three lift powerlifter -- the sport of powerlifting is squat, bench and deadlift only --- then I agree with out Thicc boy that commented that deadlifts and squats are mandatory. But if we are talking about the regular public that might be a different story.

| Squats |
Squatting is one of the most productive if not the best exercises out there (it's called the King of Exercises by many). It is one of the most difficult to learn as well. If you are new to this exercise, please take several training sessions practicing with an empty bar or broomstick (you can do some additional work on the leg press if needed). It's very important to get your technique down cold while the weights are still light. Your small errors with small weights will turn into BIG errors with big weights. Much of the bad press the squat has received in the media is a result of improper technique and not the exercise itself. Red flags you may encounter will be pointed out and hopefully how to avoid them.

| The Momma's Boys Podcast: Omar Isuf & Mike Farr | The idea is to have authentic, insightful, and usually hilariously inappropriate conversations with friends, content creators, & a variety of interesting guests. Topics with hosts Omar Isuf & Silent Mike (Farr) can range from music and movies, to why crepes are highly overrated. Hey; we never said they were always right.

| 50% Facts Podcast: Jim McDonald & Mike Farr | Most of us walk around knowing about HALF of what we think we know. On this show, we take a single, granular question on a particular topic (related to health, fitness, nutrition, mental health, etc.) and try to list what we THINK the answer involves. THEN, we bring in a subject-matter expert to tell us what we got right and what we got wrong. We walk away with a better sense of the facts…and so do you. ► 50% Facts Podcast: https://apple.co/2QC2Tdm
