A barn burner of controversy from the Sika Strength guys who say:
1. Squatting twice a week is the sweet spot
2. Squatting more than that "just drags you down like a bad relationship"
Dan John also thinks squats don't work for Easy Strength (which is most days of the week):
Starting Strength enthusiasts (squats 3 days a week) and Smolov Squat fans (squats 4 days a week) are sure to disagree
Me, personally? While I squat every day in one form or another, a lot of them "don't count" because they're (comparatively) lightweight skill or mobility work (OHSQ, split squats), while my 'big squats' are only twice a week.
