People jerk off to the squat, bench and deadlift (and surprisingly the OHP) because they are the powerlifts. You have a bunch of wanabe bodybuilders that brag about their gym total which is pathetic. I will let you in on a little secret - exercises are just tools to reach a certain goal. If you aren't a powerlifter there is no reason for you to be back squatting if it hurts your legs and lower back when front squats and leg presses will provide you with the same level of quad development.

When I first started lifting years ago, I fell for the Startting Stength meme hard. I stopped squatting completely when I realized my quads and legs were greatly outstripping my upper body in terms of size.

Every few months I try to get back into squatting but every time I try I don't like how it makes my knees feel.

If your body is kicking up red flags when you do a specific lift, then don't do that lift. If you're just trying to look aesthetic, there are alternatives to virtually every compound lift that /r/Fitness loves fapping over.

>>39573542 is right, the only people that worship those lifts are wannabe powerlifters that don't want to admit they just want to look good naked.

In terms of lower body stuff I stick to deadlifts (for the sick back and glute pump) and barbell hip thrusts & glute bridges. Occasionally I'll do calf stuff if I want to feel sad and depressed for the rest of the day.

Try something else then.

On my leg days I just do deads, DB lunges, and some kind of finisher like leg press or maybe squats for just a set or two. Most of the work is deads and lunges.

Try some kinda lunge. Remember to put your weight on the front leg.

The man whos toes are ripped says that back squats are superior.
Something something hamstring not being worked on front squat.

>>39573373
alternate between both of them to get best of both worlds. you can do more weight with back squats and front squats have great carry over to C&J.

FS will work your core/quads a bit more than BS.

even if you don't do oly lifts they are really good and everyone should do them

>>39573388
I have a neck/shoulder injury that gets agitated whenever i do back squats so i stick purely to front squats now. I was just curious because a friend asked me why and i can't really remember and there's a lot of informative /fit/ users who might be able to help

Anon I'm the same height and like 20 lbs heavier. Keep cutting.

>>39573361

I'll weight less than the average woman if I keep cutting, but fuck I am still fat tho.

Good for you, you have a goal and a path to achieve that goal. Good luck!

>>39572616

as long as you take your lifting seriously and keep your form in check anon, godspeed.

I would stop categorizing yourself and worrying about finding a mate. There's a lot of humans in the world and lots of them are reproducing, focus on gaining insight into life and death while you still have a fully cognitive human brain.

You fucking retard. The point of the movie wasn't only about developing confidence in a social setting but to also not idolise a partner or the relationship.

>tfw my parents watched this movie and got sad because they said immunity too far from being like the main character

5+ years of lifting hasn't helped at all

I usually tell people they're overreacting when they post about losing control of their diet and having low lifts

But for you, I can offer no comfort. You have dug yourself a pit a mile deep and a foot wide and you are staring up at a pinhole.

Best of luck.

>H-how much strength am I going to lose when trying to get down to 10%, is it going to be like if I were to start over completely from scratch?
Just do the cut/bulk shit, OP

Eat like cutting but lift and eat protein like bulking, so you don't lose your strength by cutting normally

I remember some anon did it like that like 2 or 3 years ago

>>39570534
What you lose in strength you'll gain in aesthetics.
