            Goblet squats are convenient but having to hold dumbell weight by hand and forearms limits amount of possible weight used.

            Obviously 90lb dumbell for Goblet squat is virtually impossible for most guys.

          I started like that too. Did dumbbell squats until I had the strength and confidence. Then got under the bar in a rack - I used to have to ask the employees to help me put the bar up!! But the thing is, you'll very quickly progress to bigger weights and 20kg will start to feel light super quickly once you get there so don't sweat it. If anything I wonder if any of the regulars recognise me and recognise that I started at nothing and am making progress.

        who ever taught you was a homosexual

        True, but not in the sexual way, but in the cosmopolitan effeminate way (which is what homosexual has come to mean here). The effeminacy lies in the basic lack of athleticism and the viral infection of weakness to others.

        Why would you go on the internet and announce so clearly that you choke on dicks?

        Chill you c**t

        Getting into a full squat isn’t some athletic achievement to be proud of - injury aside. It’s a basic health marker like grip strength.

          You're not flexible enough, work on that so you can do real squats. Squatting on plates is only for beginners

          I was taught to squat this way when I was 15. Only a homosexual would have a problem with it.

          You guys don't know what you're talking about, unfortunately.

          I was taught to squat this way when I was 15. Only a homosexual would have a problem with it.

          is right, using plates is good form because it elevates the heel to allow a more upright posture, targeting the quads and allowing the squatter to reach a deep squat without compromising their form. For those who think it's to compensate for poor mobility, you need to learn anatomy. Taller people or people with longer femurs will not be able to balance in a deep squat while flat-footed without rounding their lower backs to put their torso weight forward. Additionally the bone in some peoples' ankles limits the dorsiflexion, or movement of the knees far in front of the toes (and this cannot be "trained" away), so again the elevated heel is simply to allow for the squatter to reach a deep squat with their knees traveling far in front of the toes and lower back straight and relatively upright. This is literally the concept of "lifting" shoes--- they are going to have a hard sole as one of their defining features, but the most important feature is the elevated slight wedge heel that replicates putting plates or blocks under your heel, in order to improve deep squatting.

          "experts" who tell you not to elevate the heels are literally just low-bar squatting homosexuals who can't go ATG, can't deep squat, and want to stick their ass out as far behind them as possible when they squat, as though offering it up for penetration

              nice squat man, though if I can offer some advice--- when you go down, you are doing more of a high-bar squat in the sense that you're letting your knees travel far forward of your toes as you go down, rather than pushing your butt back and hinging your torso forward. This is fine, no problem there. But then when you go up, you immediately pull your hips/knees backwards to orient your knees directly over your feet. This forces your torso to suddenly lean forward, which puts a lot of stress on your back, which appears to be doing a lot of the lifting in the second half of the concentric, as though you're doing a good morning. I cannot see the exact position of the bar on your back, but when your torso is leaning so far forward, it looks like the weight might not be directly over your feet as it should be, and is in front of your feet. For this second half of the movement up, I would recommend not letting your knees travel back so fast to be stacked over your heel/ankle, and maybe keep them more directly over your toes while keeping more of an upright torso position. This will help you balance better, put less of the work on your lower back, and target your legs more

                Thanks man, I've noticed the same thing and have been working on fixing it. I think the core issue is a weakness in my legs which sort of forces me overly transfer the load to my back later in the lift, because I'm having a similar problem with leg drive on deadlift.

                Not the other poster, but I had that issue with squats and its from not locking my upper back properly / not having the upper back strength for my weights. Might be similar for you - upper back was struggling to keep my torso upright during squat. Also your deadlift form looks wack, why do you bend your knees and pull the bar up your legs half way up the deadlift? Don't do that.

                That's exactly it, typically if your quads can't take the weight the natural response is to push the butt back and turn the squat into a good morning. Best complementary exercises to build up that particular quad strength will be hack squats and split/buglarian squats. If you do leg press, place your feet as low on the plate as possible... at the bottom it may make your heels rise up off the plate but that's fine

                Best way to force the legs to do the work in the squat is to use a block or 5lb plates under your heels. It will keep your torso more upright

                I have plastic sole weightlifting shoes. I'll try putting them back on for a while.

                [...]
                also to follow up your vid, your DL form is pretty good except for when your knees re-bend after you already got them straight. Just keep pumping out DLs with high volume at more manageable weight. Ironing out your quad/posterior chain strength that's affecting your squats will also help with this

                It was a 1RM attempt and what prompted me to look at fixing my legs, because I couldn't get 190kg off the floor despite my back feeling like 180kg was easy as frick.

                Thanks for the advice. I'll get it fixed so I can hit dat 4pl8 squat this year.

          The actual weak points are the safeties and the pegs. The pegs are just threaded pipe screwed into a reducer into a flange so basically the entire weight is dropped on some shitty 3/4 pipe thread. I coated it in a low temp thermoplastic which does cushion it a bit but it's still liable to snap. I also hammered slightly oversized wood round stock into the safeties to stiffen them a bit but I'm pretty sure a 200kg load from shoulder height would make them fold in half.

      You got a problem with real men you pathetic twink? Look just push your babyweight in the corner and shut your soup cooler. Maybe later I’ll let you watch me bang your old lady.

      that's even worse than socks

      the real problem is your pussy ass gym staff for not saying anything. I hope a weight lands on his toe.

    The only times I've been annoyed is when this guy spent 60 full minutes doing over 10 sets over cable tricep extension and curls. And another time there was a permed up zoomer standing in the cable machine curling in the mirror.

    Why are zoomers so obsessed with the cable machine?

      cables provide excellent time under tension, it's a very useful machine

      You can mock this man on the internet, but you should fear him in real life. No mortal being voluntarily does this. You're dealing with the kind of homie that would get butt-ass naked before a street fight and fling his arms around like wrecking balls. He is as much of a danger to others as he is to himself. If he was on those planes on 9/11, the cabin would have been painted with the blood of the terrorists and passengers alike. He rapes dead girls not because he kills them before penetration but because none of his rape victims can survive long enough for him to coom. He mows his grass with a scythe because he breaks lawnmowers when he tries to start them. Tug of war against this man incurs the risk of dislocating your shoulders.

        b***h I know, that's why I silently ran on the tr*admill for an hour so he would mistake me for a twink and leave me alone

    People who pretend to screw their feet into the floor before deadlifts.
    People who do those flailing arm swings to grab bars before lifts.

    Both performative nonsense that does nothing for form, stability or placement. It's just affectations they saw on the internet.
