Does squatting in moderately tight jeans increase weight lifted by adding compression to the knee and hip joints?
Yes, right up to the point where the ass explodes.
Haha.
I deadlifted in jeans once because I had packed two shirts in my bag instead of a shirt and shorts. I thought about squatting but getting to depth on my second warmup set would have caused the jeans to fail spectacularly.
And they weren't moderately tight, as I had bought them a size bigger in the waist to accommodate my ass and thighs.
I asked the question as I have decided to train short sessions in my lunch hour with work jeans on.
An excellent decision.
Wear shorts underneath and just slip the jeans off for the squats.Quote:

I was sure you were trolling, Coach Wolf, but I Googled it and these jeans actually exist. Now I am merely unsure if you are trolling.
Trolling, maybe a little, but not lying or being sarcastic or even exaggerating. Just ribbing my friend for his silly but true history of squatting in his jeans.Quote:
