“Everybody Squats”
If we had to come up with a tag line to replace "Don't Use Machines. Become One.", it might well be "Everybody Squats." No exercise does a better job of developing full body strength. And strength is the foundation on which we build all other physical skills. (It's also the #1 predictor of hospital mortality rates.) Stop making excuses. Get under the bar.

Last Man Standing.
FANTASTIC story: Chuck got a little careless on Saturday night and took a fall down the last four stairs in his house. He hit a couple of walls but never left his feet!! Frankly, that would be almost impossible for a sedentary 77 year old. But Chuck isn't sedentary. He puts his time in; squats, deadlifts, and WOD's. And he'll be the first to tell you that's why he was upright at the bottom of those stairs. It's all about the strength, folks.
