Im strong as an oxen i have to be for my job in construction. Besides id take looks over strength any day you only need to be so strong and being too large is ugly and most girls dont like it
Usually squats and deadlifts are for beginners(not saying u are) to get the rest of their body up to par.
i agree with this to a point
i think everyone should atleast hit intermediate on squat/DL(1.5-2.0x BW)
after that
