i only lift to look good and have sex with sluts

i look great and have sex with sluts without squatting. i will continue to not squat

>>39415158
>implying you need to lift to get sluts

lmao

>>39415165
i didn't imply that. it makes it a hell of a lot easier though, now that you've mentioned it

If you don't squat you don't belong in the gym. Period.

>>39415126
I have knee problems after my knee surgery and I still squat.

>tfw genetic knee issues that don't allow me to squat

Loved the short time I actually could enjoy squatting.
Right now I'm super happy that I get to deadlift without issues as long as I stretch enough.

>tfw scoliosis

If there is a suicide grip bench equivalent to squats it's the only way I've ever known

>Dorian Yates is a pussy.

Okay big guy.

>>39415126
Last time i did squats my hips were in pain for like 2 days. My artharitus actin up.. leg press for me squatfags

how do I increase ankle mobility so I can break parallel with my squats

i am new to the gym and i freaking love squatting.
i squat 60kg easily, more than what i am comfortable deadlifting and i am adding weight every time, aiming for my current physical limit.

why would any sane one ever not squat?
quads and ass are the most aesthetical part of man and what everyone, men and women, is looking for in a stud.

just ask " how much do you think a good ass and muscular legs are important in a man?" to your >female friends

for some reason the leg press machine hurts my back while squatting doesn't. i only do leg press with lighter weights for high reps as an accessory.

>>39415126
I broke my spine as a teen and I still squat. There ain#t no excuse.

>>39415126
I've stayed away from squats for a while because apparently my transversus isn't functioning properly. But I'm working on that.

I started going to the gym after breaking my hip (among other damage) in a car crash, going to hit 1/2/3/4 before the end of the year.
Took me more than two years but happy with that

One day I'll squat again... Ruptured disk :'(

Alright so I went to the gym yesterday morning and all the squat racks were in use. I had to get going so I could make it to class, so I used the Smith machine for the first time in ages. Now my quads and glutes feel way more worked than when I use the barbell.

Da fuck is this? Like is my barbell squat form just really shitty, or is the whole not using the Smith machine thing just a meme?

>>39415126
>doing dangerous exercises
Yeah, no.

>>39415126
Since most of you are ugly human waste, go do squats to have an ugly body too lmao

Nature.
Leg was two inches shorter.
Went to high too soon.
Slip.
Snap.
Tucked for life.
At least they managed to even it out with my other leg.
Now days I have immense knee pain after just walking to the shops.
Have to take meds to go to sleep.

>>39415968
you are letting your lumbar hyperextend

I've watched countless youtube torturials, I've tried stretching, I've tried weights under my heels, I've tried doing it to a box, I've had a PT and a power lifter help me and my back still fucking rounds. It's like nature doesnt want my body to be able to squat. Wat do?

Duck walks. Stretching.
>>39415158
This is a good plan until you meet a goal gf who lifts and she finds out you don't Squat lol

>>39416709
My lower back round a bit in the pocket, it's not the end of the world.

and retard can do squats but only the ones who have a chance of making it do front squats aswell

>>39415126
my knees always make a knack sound when i squad.
should i be worried?
[spoiler]inb4 knee cancer[/spoiler]

Right knee clicks slightly every time I squat, and also sometimes when I leg press. Only squatting 80kg and it happens, after I warmup with the bar for two sets of 10, and 60kg for a set of five. Also I have been stretching. What could it be?

I squat and I'm still a bitch ass pussy

hey guys I have a question, how the hell can I squat ATG and pause if I'm only 5 months into weight lifting? How am I so flexible? genetics?
here's a vid of my squats:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wKDOTSDlS8

the weight is just under lmao 2plate, sorry for the memes I found out how to chroma key so I had a little fun.

>>39419224
Because you have zero muscle.

I used to love squats, but I got a very bad illness that took almost two years to fully recover from, and now they are hard as fuck. I used to knock out 3 pl8 with ease and squat 3X a week, but now eve 115 lbs is a fucking struggle. I get super out of breath, I'm not nearly as flexible so I really have to strain to keep proper form, and I don't even know if I have fucking ab muscles anymore because I can't activate them on the squat anymore. I don't know what happened, but I am bummed that I lost the squatting bug. I liked having thicc legs.

Does it ever get easier? It wasn't anywhere near this hard when I first started out squatting, and I was only repping 85 lbs back then.

Same.

>>39419628
What was the illness anon? tell us more.
But yeah, if you can just try to eat more caloric dense food aka just gain weight, and try to stretch every single day.

I squatted 130kg for the first time today, felt good.

>>39415158
For what it's worth your orgasms get better if you squat and deadlift, so there's also that.

>>39416709
Try different stances until you don't round. I round if my feet get too wide and flare too much. If I have toes straight forward and hip width feet then I stay neutral throughout. It's just down to the way you're built breh

>>39415968
Probably because you have lumbar flexion/posterior pelvic tilt on a leg press machine

>>39417158
Nothing, it's just like your knuckles cracking. Everybody in my family has clicky joints and my dad just ran a marathon with no pain and my sister does oly lifting with no issue. The only problem I've ran into is people freaking out at your knee clicking during a squat

>>39419224
Clarence Kennedy/10 squats

I have a knee injury atm. Wanna squat and diddly so fucking bad.

>>39415571
Bro

>>39419224
5 months isn't a very impressive timeline for atg squats anon, honestly I'd be worried if someone couldn't squat deep after 5 months

>>39421387
I've been doing ATG since the beginning, people keep asking me "whoa brah how do you go so deep" and I always reply with "I have no clue"

I stretch 4-5 times a week, but before that I never stretched my legs, very rarely.

>>39416611
That sad af bruv. I poured out a lil sipp from my drank to honour you.

>>39416800

>>39421643
Stretching routine?

I've tried a few but haven't seen any large flexibility increases.

>>39421643
>>39421768

>>39415126

(This one is fucking GOAT, I do it every single workout while stretching, just don't put it straight on your knees or you'll feel sore)

And now all the upper body stretches from this one and plus a few others I've learned IRL.

w-what happened anon?

>>39415158
This, x100.
I squat like once every two weeks and have incredibly aesthetic legs.

>>39422007
But you can't squat tho

>>39422077
I can. I squat 225 atg 3x8. Plenty good enough, not doing it all the time gives me days to hit other body parts.

>>39416709
Try not going as low, and don't let your knees fall foward too much.
Most people go too low because they think it's necessary, but it's not. Hip crease just below top of the kneecap, no lower.

>>39419224
Is that high or low bar?

>>39421643
Going deep is actually easier because you get some bounce out of the bottom.

I never understood how people could stand to not go low.

>>39422148
Well I pause so I don't get that bounce.

And from what I know, a just-below parallel squat is easier than a dive-bomb atg one.

>>39422188
Not for me. It's actually harder to stop at parallel than go atg imo.

Low-bar, just-parallel squats make my knees hurt like a motherfucker
