REJOICE, ye mighty, for it is the most GLORIOUS day of the week! It is the day of the leg; the day of the almighty SQUAT, the LEG EXTENSION (peace be upon him), and the venerable HAMSTRING CURL. Hark the call of the church of gains and go forth; declare your fealty for all to hear at the sacred standing calf raise, and bless your lower legs with mass and vascularity. lo, for on the fifth day the lord did create the squat rack; and did he load it up with three plates; and with them did he do 5x5; and he sayeth onto his followers: "verily I say unto you: more plates more dates". - Squatalonians 4:20

Is the squat the most mentally tough exercise there is? I hit a 170kg ORM a couple weeks ago and a I recently failed a 160 single simply due to not feeling as prepared for the lift
There is that fear of dipping, I'm guessing it's caused by our instinct that we think we might fall... especially with this weight.
With isolation exercises you're not really at risk in that sense
Yeah my lizard brain took over hard, I panicked internally and shot my hips up way too early
Idk you're a pussy. High rep squats are hell tho
Blessed are the destroyers of false squats, for they are the true bloat lords- Cursed are the SS-adorers, for they shall be chicken legged!

Where is your picture from?
Squats are the best exercise.
If I zercherd 4 pl8 and had that physique I would unironically kms.
thats not 4 plate. theres only two plates on either side so its 2 plate
truly a dyel exercise

How do I perform this fricking movent properly while having the worse hip mobility ever and popping knees that hurt due to years of bad form and sometimes feel like the kneecap is about to pop out?
why is the bar hovering about his traps
because he's supersetting with overhead press
do you do hammies before or after squats?
hammies and quads before squats
Just squat your girlfriend bro.

What's a good high rep leg exercise? Im doing full body 4 times a week and have room for 1 more exercise in the 15 rep range. Im already doing low rep squats. low rep dead lifts, high rep squats, high rep dead lifts, and calf raises (obviously on different days). I wont do leg extensions
>Just started liftan
>Terrified of doing squatz and deadlifts cause of fricked up lower back
>Do leg press instead, because I feel I have more control
>Up to lmao 2pl8s
I just don't want to frick myself up with bad form since it would my first time doing those exercises
Just make sure you have no foot pronation.
If you knees track over toes but you still have foot pronation your form will look correct but you'll still technically be getting valgus and frick your knees up.

m8, i just started too, i couldn't do 30kg last week, turns out my form is shitty.
i came back today and practiced a lot and made sure my form was good, watch a lot of rippletoes videos like in the sticky
today i did 40kg easily and maybe could have done more but ill try that next time
use the safety bars and practice without the bar, then practice with the empty bar. use your phone to record and watch yourself
add some weight until you struggle on the 5th lift
wagmi bro
Also don't rush to add weight, keep it light to get used to the movement. Slowly add weight.
front squats feel great on my lower back. After fricking it up a while ago I am focusing on progressing on front squats instead of good ole back squats.
Forgive me squat lord for I have forsaken thee and for my sins I hast suffered by the tear of meniscus. Lord I pray to thee for thine blessings of fruitful rehab and return to the righteous ways of the heavy barbell
I come seeking guidance for gains despite my ailment. I suffer from the dreaded patellar tendinitis due to my high riding kneecaps and long patella tendon. How doth I train without mine knees giving out or dislocating again? It would seem that bending near the 90 degrees is the breaking point.
See a good physio, an older one who specialises in knees and feet. There a lot of mediocre physios who at best make educated guesses and see what sticks that end up being a waste of time and money. There is almost always rehab work that can basically cure most forms of patellar tendonitis but a generic one from the internet wont work, you need a plan tailored to your specific biomechanics. If you ignore it it will only get worse and lead to more problems and possibly surgery
>Did leg day today.
>Feel like I wanna die
