Not squatting

Ok so I admit I am pretty cool with the idea of me not squatting. I have access to a purfectly fine squat rack yet I do not use it. My excuse, as you prolly should dismiss, is that I have to ride my bike everyday. I ride 6miles to school. Plus if I go anywhere else, I usually ride my bike a few miles more. I average about 15mi/day. I also do the 6miles in 16minutes now.

With all that, I find that if I squat, that I am sore for up to 8 or 9 days. Which I think may actually detrimental, to my training. I also can't get enough protein. So I guess I am going to mostly neglect my legs. Oh btw I do still deadlift.

I know I should man up, but if I do, I bike really slow, and my gai-jin pride won't let me loose to anyone. When I get back to the US, I need to see how bad it has become, I used to max around 275.

Sorry more of a rant than anything. Please no ban.
