This is a video of me doing half the weights, and me consciously forcing myself to go even lower. When I am doing this squat, it felt to me like I've went as low as I possibly could already without rounding my lower back.

edit: I'm constantly trying to fix my form, as such I've been stuck at much lower/same weight for quite a long time, constantly reducing my weights to work on my form.

i noticed tat if i were to break parallel, my reps would drop.
not sure which is better.
i was once told tat if i were to go too low, i would use my back more.

If I can do it without being out of breath I think anybody can do it!

Am a 95kgs fatty!

Greetings ladies and gentlemen,

I've gone thru lots of youtube videos and articles regarding squat last night. I still dont get a part -

1.) Partial squat, parallel squat, below parallel. Parallel means your thighs are parallel to the floor is it ? Full squat means your butt almost touching the floor or slightly below parallel is consider full squat ?

2.) Is parallel squat same as partial squat ? Or partial squat is above parallel ?

3.) How about you guys ? Which do you do and prefer ?

Im trying my best to fix my squat technique and form, been squatting for few months but still alot of room for improvement, therefore needing advice from all of you.

Thanks !

LOL wtf he think whey is ?

lol i deadlift at the same gym with you but i get complaint because i touch the floor which makes the sounds bang bang bang

hey guys, a quick question for deadlift.

Im stumbled upon a question about my back when im doing deadlift is that when i saw some vid on how to do a deadlift, Usually the back of that person will like a concave shape rite? But everytime i try to do, my back just couldnt get it right its like a convex shape and i know it will hurt my back in the long run. So i need some tips on how to maintain that kind of concave back shape wjile doing deadlift. Im doing 45kg deadlift for the first time. and i would like to know how many reps and sets should i do! Cheers!

currently designing my own home gym, so far i've included

Adjustable Bench
Olympic Bar
EZ Bar
Power Rack
115kg worth of plates
2 short DB handles
7x10 ft rubber tiles

Current pricing - around 3-4k ish. Thoughts and comments?

why don't people just do a push/pull/legs workout

it's really straightforward and fit in your compounds.

Push - Bench, Shoulder Press + accessories
Pull - Rows, DL + accessories
Legs - Squats, SLDL

Finish.

i guess i am too!

i started to feel bad when i was skipping gym, meals, eat junk food.
Even my mom give me 'wtf look whe she see me cooking chicken breast, pasta , EATING Oatmeal <---this one shocks my family lol. (last time, i was the one who tells them it looks and taste like puke  )
