it's in my apt building in brooklyn. there's a 6'9 black jacked trainer who is always training someone in there to make me feel inadequate which i like. there is no squat rack which i don't like. everyone uses the machines or treadmills which i like: i can always use the free weights and the bench press bar to squat and bench press and stuff. it's pretty small but i like it.

It's a Gold's that turned into an American Barbell.
I only pay $15 a month because I joined five years ago but now they are charging at least $29 a month.
Nearly everything has been renovated so we have really good equipment.
I like it a lot but there are only like three pretty girls that go when I go.
And they workout with their boyfriends.
>>
It's a kind of expensive girly gym downtown. Does free yoga and free spinning classes. Three squat racks though. Have yet to see anyone squat more than 3pl8 at all, or rep bench above 2pl8. Recently i did 405x5 on intensity day. People seemed impressed, but I'm still a fat ass.

you're on fit
search your feelings, you already know the answer

You need to post your form in all honesty. Painful it may be but better to be self-aware now, than ignorant later.
>>
Ask him how retarded you look in 6 months when you are making gains and he isn't. Do your DLs, literally nobody cares what are doing at the gym, and if they do, its because they are projecting.

How do I correct this? I only started lifting a week or so ago and a dude at the gym today came up to me and told me I have a terrible butt wink and to avoid full depth squats or risk injury.
I read online that my hamstrings may be tight or my body just doesn't know how to balance itself down there so it just naturally happens.
Any suggestions?

>hamstrings may be tight
Not to threadjack, but my legs are super tight when I squat. My inner thighs just don't want to stretch and move. No problem with deads or cleans though
>>
The best indicator is pain. If you feel GOOD before and after lifting and are getting stronger you're probably fine. If not then it could be genetic and the guy could be right or you might just need to play with your form. Can't say for sure.

> a week ago
You just have shit technique. That englobes whole bunch of stuff that's going on when you squat. Just practice, read up on squat execution. Rippletits has great info on it. and keep practicing. Youre most likely using lightweight so your not gonna injure yourself.
Also squatting in oly shoes helps a bunch if you have crap limb proportions or very limited mobility.

Short, daily doses of meditation can physically grow the grey matter in parts of your brain that have to do with self-awareness and compassion.
It also shrinks the grey matter in areas which contribute to stress.
It took me a while to catch on to the cold shower """meme""" but I think I'll just jump right into this one.

I just do a minute traditional, then a minute on each side. I should probably progress my times I've been doing the same thing for years

I did something over a minute before I got bored.

Lets be honest, only dudes care about how much you lift. On some level you are lifting for men. Admit it

Yes, but women care how your body looks, which is a byproduct of the above.
