Squats Are The Devil.

A quick note: two days ago I did squats for the first time in a while at the gym. Expecting the backlash and wanting to avoid massive soreness, I went light with low reps hoping to come out okay. Sure enough, two days later I am massively sore and cursing squats under my breath.

It makes me think about the concept of the "carbon footprint," where in discussing hybird vehicles we can't just consider mpg, but the power used to create/destroy the batteries, etc. I spend so much time sitting on my ass after squats, reeling in pain, I can't help but wonder if the "squat footprint" actually works out to be a bad thing...
