>tfw grew out of the counting calories and squatting meme

>>39485805
I'm thinking of quitting squatting too
That shit is not made for lanklets.

I am 6'5" and squats make my knees want to fucking explode
Goblet squats with a dumbbell are decent enough

>>39486069
Take a wider stance and angle your knees more more outwards to "shorten" your femurs distance wise. atg is a meme and only applicable when you have short femurs and a long torso.

Look at Lu Xiaojun, this guy is made to squat. No amount of dorsiflexion will ever enable you to deep squat if you have long ass legs relative to your torso

Saged, repoted.

Fuck squats. I squatted my ass away and it caused degeneration in some of the thoracic disks of my spine.

It's my fault, but still. That bar will see most of it's uses on the bench or with one side in the dirt for the foreseeable future.

Sticking to leg presses.

Same kind of but with my hips.

My hips literally developed a loud popping noise and have a lot of pain.

Legpress is way better. If you actually do full rom unlike the clowns of your gym it really does work

I'm only 6'2" and I still have great fear for my knees. I like squatting since the form is such a basic human movement but I'm thinking of just quitting progression at 200 lbs or something.

>>39486173
Yeah I just squat until the crease of my hips is lower than my knees, like Alan Thrall says. Squats have given me the most technical difficulty out of any lift.

>>39486069

6'2" here. I thought I was alone. I still squat, but it doesn't feel right. Legs are too long. Is squatting only for manlets?

>>39485805
i guess lanklets don't squat
which is apparently all of /fit/.....
which actually means no one here squats......

wtf is going on here

>>39488057
No, squats took off on /fit/ and are a huge meme here. Don't you remember squats and oats? Lanklets are a minority on this board.

>>39488008
No, just be sure to have good form. Stretch like a motherfucker. Get your knees pointing out and go low bar.

>>39488095
oh i see.
so.... squats are a meme, nofap is real, eating big is a meme, being a lanklet masterrace is a meme and everyone here is just a manlet, etc.

Everything makes so much sense now.

>>39488139
You sound really bitter about memes. Must be a manlet.
