I'm doing pic related for my routine, just started.
OHP was fine, I started with the bar and did more than 10 reps on the last set so I will be adding 5lbs.
Couldn't do 3x5 chin ups so I did as many negatives as I could. Not worried here just gotta work at it.
Squats is where I'm concerned. I started with 95lbs which didn't feel super heavy but I didn't get what I wanted out of the lift. Looking in the mirror I saw lots of butt wink, and I felt the lift almost exclusively in my quads and my groin.
How do I figure out which muscles need stretching and which muscles need strengthening so I can achieve proper squat form?
Also, my gym doesn't have 1.25lb microplates, only 2.5. How can I make up for this with progressing on the upper body workouts?

Do a full body routine or SS if you're just starting

I'm trying to focus on compound lift form and establishing baseline strength, then I'll begin to add in accessories.

Should just do SS honestly

frankly, all of them, if you are a beginner. read the sticky for starting stretching
as for microplates, do the amrap sets to 10+ and add double.
When I did this routine as a beginner, my squat and deadlift kind of lagged behind but my ohp soared. Just my two cents, OP
