Im confused - You mean you only tried squats once? Or you have never tried Dead Lift?

sweat.gif Awww poor baby. What you experienced is why mikehuan and I hate leg days. Arms/Upper body sakit different when legs sakit - can minimise movement for upper body but how to not move legs or lower body? Cannot stay in bed all day..

cry.gif My gym no power rack so I no do traditional barbell squat - I do smith squat and split squats. My max rep with smith squat is about 45 kg. Want to cry after that, damn shaky. shakehead.gif But I know if you try to ask me do barbell squat, I think just the bar is all I dare do because I am not confident my stabilization muscles strong even with my split squats and lunges to train it.

Once I join a gym with power rack I update and see how many kg I can barbell squat icon_idea.gif

don't forget to post your maxes for the big three (squat, bench and deadlift) in my 1000lb club thread. would be an honor to have you as the first lady to make an attempt at joining that club...of which there are 0 members currently. biggrin.gif

lol yea babe. i walk alot, and go in and out of my car during work. hence the hatred.

you're pretty strong, imo. keep at the smith squats. once u shift to free weights you'll take a shorter time to adapt. its not a steep relearning curve.
i tried squats and deads one year into training. no trainers, no tips/pointers from seniors. getting laughed/snickered at the gym while learning it. just vids and learning. posting form check vids here helped a lot. start light, work on your form. poundages will come later.

totally agree with mike on progression of the squat. correcting the form alone can easily put another 50lbs on top of what you already squat.

I do more squats than deadlifts because my legs are longer than my torso sad.gif

you can always use sumo deadlifts to your advantage. so, no excuse not to deadlift smile.gif

No kidding. So much love-hate when leg day comes along. Aww thanks blush.gif I look forward to eventually joining the ranks of barbell squatters and it is reassuring to hear that it wont be tooooo steep a learning curve.

howdy guys! i'm soooo new in this forum as well as bodybuilding. been working out since past few months & need some advice from u gurus. i think i hv a problem with my shoulder growth since i couldn't lift enough weight. i bench 45kg (toldcha im new) but could only do 6-7kg lateral raise. is it normal?

if you want a goal for presses, try hitting 1x your bodyweight for starters. after that, the sky's the limit.
