If I exceed 135 pounds on squat it pinches out a nerve in my mid back . But doing lots of reps and sets is better than nothing.
I feel your wasting your time if you don’t build up your core , and it drives me crazy when I have setbacks.
Tom Platz says you can use any weight for squats , as long as you go too failure

I'm not telling people not to squat. I'm saying lighter squats are better for your body and produce (nearly) the same results. For the average gym bro there is no tradeoff. You have literally nothing to gain and everything to lose. Obviously with elite level pros this is different.
This clown is promoting heavy lifting and putting people down that don't lift as heavy and it's annoying as fuk as well as dangerous to people that don't have the knowledge to realize this.

I don’t necessarily believe everyone should max out on squats, but there’s absolutely nothing dangerous about it if you know what you’re doing and stay natty. Maxing out isn’t dangerous or harmful.

That said, if you’re not competing in anything strength related, I believe you can get all the benefits of squats without ever going below 5 reps. I’m just saying it’s notbadto go below that in the right context. A natty squatting 500 isn’t dangerous. Larry Wheels squatting 900 doped to the eyeballs with blood pouring out of his face is.

To the brahs who have good squats. Is there anything I can do for lower back pain when squatting? Even when the weight is super light I feel my lower back hurting. Is there any mobility/stretching to do to fix this? Will rep for help.

You're probably getting some butt wink going on. That's where your lower back will start to get wrecked. Don't squat lower than your flexibility allows.

Nice. I have some super old Titan 2m wraps, but I've barely ever used them. They can be fun, though. I wanted to get to 700 without them.

I dont because the specificity for bodybuilding purposes is terrible. If I want my quads bigger, I will do a standardized machine that will overload the quads more than any squat would because of secondary muscles engaging. If I can put 1000lbs on a leg press or pendulum leg press and have that whole load pressed by quads, they are receiving more growth stimulus than a squat would. I just split up quads hams and glutes, like I do pendulum leg press, free motion squat machine, leg press, leg extension for quads, RDLS, wide stance leg press/smith squats for glutes, leg curls and dumbbell stiff leg for hamstrings. Then I hit adductors every leg session.

Squats also come with a risk vs reward cost at a certain strength level just like bench and deadlift especially when you train every day to failure. It is different with powerlifting training and doing RIR or much lower volume or RPE.

I should mention that if I push off with my heels the correct way , I get extremely sharp pain in my knees shortly after .
It used to help doing box squats , where I always kept my leg straight below the knee , but even that is an issue now .
But if I push off with my toes (incorrect way) I don’t get nearly as much inflammation in the knees ?
Tried stretches and knee exercises, but to no avail . Also heard leg extensions and curls are not good exercises?
Probably time to ldar

Judging by your avi, no bicep curls were seen today.

Maybe some tricep extensions tho.

No triceps extensions actually. I was really into the big three. That's all CGBP and floor presses.

He doesn't have spoons, but he has a t-shirt! I guess anybody can just upload any vid on youtube and claim that it's them and miscers will eat that chit up.
I'll stand by what was said before: people that lift this amount of weight, don't go on a forum to brag and belittle people that don't.

Best I can do is the shirt the set was done in. There's a hole in the back from where the bar would sit, but it was my go-to squat shirt. Had it since grade 7 and I'm in my 30s now lol.

Drunk bros would ask me this all the time when I worked as a bouncer and I would just deny that I even lifted. They would get confused, but I wouldn't give up the schtick.

I'd say, in order, lifts asked about would be:

- Bench (obviously)
- Squat
- Deadlift
- Dumbbell bench
