so larping. do you mean i'm pretending to be a cute and lovable transgirl, or are you suggesting that being trans in general is akin to nerdy live action roleplay? meaning of course that my identity is illegitimate.

either way lol go away you suck :)

>i'm also thinking i can maybe squat more than what i do but feel scared that i'll drop the weight or not be able to get back up or something
idgi is there a reason you can't squat in a rack

oh i do homegym. it's been awesome but like i don't have much of a safety net lol. here's my setup. not the best pic but yeah

Sounds like a symptom of Fuller-Rippestar Syndrome, a neurological disorder. Don't Mean to scare you, but see a doctor. Neuron fallout is no joke, if that's what's going on

what?

No barbell pad for that?

the pegs parallel to the floor are safeties. set them just below where you bottom out, move the rack back from the wall enough that you can squat just behind the rack. if you can't make a rep, take a knee, lean forward, and let the bar drop on them. aside from the obvious reason, it is much better to not have to worry about the consequences of failing a set so you can focus completely on doing the work

speaking as a tranny myself it is not uncommon for mtfs to affect that posting/speaking style because they think being a woman means acting cute and retarded. the smart ones grow out of it in time

Maybe post a squat form check video?

oh that's what those things are for? i thought they were for bench presses or deadlifts or w/e. they're really not very long, and so close to the ground. think i'd be afraid of the bar missing them. guess i'll try to figure out how to position things though. thanks! :)

ohh that's a good idea! i'll try to remember to take a video when i lift again on sunday :)

it's hard to tell from the picture but it looks like they have knobs on the side? I'd assume (never used a rack like this) loosening them allows you to adjust the height. they'd also be used for benching if that were the case, since they'd have to be much higher for that purpose

they are very short yea, but the idea is to let the bar touch the uprights first, then set it down. same concept if you're racking on J-hooks, you don't want to have to worry about missing by trying to do it in one motion rather than two

If youre going just for aethetics Id say stick to the routine and keep killing the glutes. Hip thrusts hit the glutes harder than squats do
