Squats

Finally started on the squat rack today. I may not be able to walk in two days vut im feeling strong lol!

workout today

i don't care how strong i get, bulgarian spilt squats will always be 3 sets of 8 😌

Leg day

Have I mentioned how much I do not like split squats lol

I didn't faint this time! 😍 I'm really grateful because I really need dips to train chest. I'm so glad I corrected a stupid habit from squats of holding my breath these past 2y. I probably won't increase next fortnight, and just focus on volume, increasing weight slowly.

Also i did some lying cable chest presses to have a good stretch under load.

Great lifting session last night, have a tweak thing in my shoulder but I worked around it for upper day

Found flat bench irritated it but incline didn’t so I did my barbell press and dumbbell flys on incline for chest work. Pushed thru it a bit for pull ups and push presses but didn’t make it worse. I always incorp some legs in too - volume PR on Bulgarian split squats (3 sets of 12 ea leg w 25s),… read more

Last time I could be bothered with squats

I find keeping a bulk of muscle fairly easy, but getting toned like this takes much more time, only reason I got like this was I liked carrying around my then partner, hoping I meet someone at some point so I can be motivates into pushing myself in exercise again

Adding muscle

Sunday was an insanely busy day, I packed in nearly 19k steps with multiple walks, cooked twice, worked on taxes, went to see a play, went to a Latin social, went to a vespers service, I was itching for a lift sesh tho so I left the Latin social after an hour of dancing to squeeze in an hour before… read more

Gravity feels extra heavy today

Did exactly three squats before deciding the floor was a very comfortable place to lie down and think about my life choices.

Fun times

The squad squats inside a random tiny loot building waiting for bastion to spawn during hidden bunker to farm materials. Friend 1: "Okay guys... We've got time to kill. So let's make conversation. What's your biggest regret?" Friend 2: "Installing arc raiders" F1: "Ah yes. I feel that pain...… read more

I miss my baby

Went to a shelter today, because I miss my baby and at this point I feel like I need something I can call my child, and my family. Unfortunately didn't make it in time but I'm really looking to adopt a new baby. Preferably a large breed puppy that's a way better judge if people than I am. I like… read more

some squats 💪🌳

just happy to be moving decent weight again after a knee injury, working my way back up

Gym life

I’m doing 170 kg on squats

Had the worst headache during the night until morning. Was going to call in sick until the migraine started to dissipate. I thought maybe I could go to the gym; but I wouldn't be able to train squats as originally planned.

Changed to the lightest weight exercise instead and am surprised my right wrist could add +2.5kg🏆 for new PR 😍

I'm so disappointed I couldn't train because I was really looking forward to weighted dips. But I just couldn't stop fainting, and I couldn't figure out what's causing me to be so susceptible to vasovagal syncope? Yesterday's squats weren't that hard.

Are my legs and coffee the only thing maintaining my blood pressure? Why is 2026 so terrible for me?

I need to learn the squat

I know front squats are harder than back squats but I never thought I'd do this badly. Also the bar keeps sliding off from the sweat, now my lateral deltoids are actually sore instead of my legs. I wish I could get this right soon

My Veteran Cracks

I don't like watching workout clips of young folks doing squats and knee bends. My knees sound like the ghost of Christmas Past all the time. When I'm in the store kids get excited when my knees go "Clickety-clack, clickety-clack" I start hearing them yelling "What's that coming down the track?". … (edited) read more

Am I unsuited to squats or just untrained?

I gotta figure out what's holding my squat back. Only able to squat half of what others in my weight class can do clearly means i have a technical problem.

me when i was 15

Did deadlifts and bench. didnt do much squats but i did powerlifting

Dont skip Squats.

Better not risk further injury

I was really cautious of my sprained wrist, but also my wrist extensors are really aching, so I had to decrease the weight and use a pause to make time under tension. My shoulders ran out of energy but don't feel sore. I think I'll train shoulders again tomorrow via isometric contraction anyway in… (edited) read more

Leg day!

What is your favorite super/giant set? Mine is torture. I like to go calf extensions into leg extensions. Right into sissy squats so I can't stand haha

Squats are really awesome I fill refreshed now

Bracing for leg press and squat is difficult

I tried the Grande plié foot position but being seated doesn't give the upright posture, nor the elevated heels. I pushed 20kg less than 10d ago 😞. The other pain in the ass is the intraabdominal pressure is very difficult to maintain bracing, i can only last 30secs. So I feel like i have to… read more

Unfortunately I didn't wear a t-shirt so using the towel, the barbell kept slipping.

Maybe hamstrings have DOMS from 2d ago because the pain was unbearable on the leg extension. Had to swap to quad-biased squats, lucky I found a slant board! I learned from my mistakes, i started light, no PR attempts. Especially the squat has a high technical learning curve for balance.
