You don’t need to lift as heavy as you think you do.
You're using too much weight. Try squats with no weight but proper form and believe me, it will be challenging. Just do proper form.
People just squat with weight and bad form for the clout
How do I learn proper form?
I tried youtube and all I learned is how to get ripped in 8 weeks using this one simple trick.
Learn proper bracing and 90% of all problems are already fixed
The remaining 10% are usually that your bar path up and down isn't straight or that you go too low / not low enough
You shouldn’t have posterior pelvic tilt though, first figure might give that impression
Work your way up to 500+ bw squats a day, you'll naturally form good form.
I know he gets memed on on here but NH's squat form video actually helped me a lot https://youtu.be/3bEkmyM8NBQ?si=5BJ0Izl-tuOs1bQE
I actually find that good form with no weight is more difficult. Low weight, 20-40 kg is where it's at for improving your form.
Practice more, let your knees track forward and sit upright.
The more bent over you are the more weight you might be able to push now, but the more janked your form is.
>Every time I try to squat heavy my back nearly snaps
Maybe practice squatting with less weight until you get proper technique? moron.
You'll still make progress and build muscle using less weight.

False
the form in your picture is dogshit btw
You likely have long femurs. This is why you will never be able to squat with proper form
Had to go from 120kg back to 75kg but with proper depth and technique like mobility . Rather real squats than 80% ones. Helped against the back soreness/aches too.
you're welcome OP
this video should be in the sticky
I thought this for 4 years. 4 years anon. And I’m 28 so I’m in my later years, and I finally learn why I couldn’t do it last month, and now doing this feels great. I do it every day now. I literally got abs from him. I can’t express enough how good of a fricking exercise it is and now I know why so many who do it love it
you are a god damn attention seeking homosexual. you probably arent doing it on purpose tho. next them when you post something like that atleast add what helped you. at this point you are just waiting for (you)'s and no I dont care.
One of the very few advantaged of being a short legged manlet is that squats are really easy, i feel like im built to squat, ass to grass, buttcheeks touching my calves it all feels natural
>i feel like im built to squat
damn im jelly
>lets you instantly master squats
nothing personal, kid
why aren't these normalized? unless you're a 5ft asian there isn't a good reason not to use them right? powershitters don't answer please
I dont know my neggro. They are like 30€ or you can just use bumper plates to squat on. Smart people use their brains, the rest gets back problems.
>using crutches to lift more weight instead of working on mobility
You do you, but be sure to not squat outside of the gym.
name a single disadvantage of not learning "proper" mobility instead of using "crutches". I will wait. Do you really believe people squat heavy ass shit outside their gym on a daily basis?
I do it because it activated quads more. 2" heel raised front squats quad blaster

> - anon, my car stuck, I know you can squat 300 lbs, help me to lift it
> - sorry, but I don't have my weightlifting shoes or heel pads
> - really? but you told me that you can squat 300 pounds? cmon, help me out
> - okay, here i go... ACK!
6'
Strongmen squat cars now?!?!?!
>he didn't know
Well, the point is that without 'crutches', that you've accomodated your technique to, you will feel uncomfortable lifting decent weights, and feeling uncomfortable might lead to injury, even at low weights.
>Least delusional funtional bro
Its not about doing more weight, its about hitting better depth for more muscle activation.
aren't lifting shoes just an easier option? helped me a lot.
There could be lots of reason. Bracing, as other anons said, is an important technique. It could be mobility, you should work on deep bw squats and sit at the bottom. It could also be a proportion thing, if you have long legs and a short back, you will not be able to go deep. And if you have injuries, like myself who has repeatable broken his right ankle and cant groove the technique no matter what.
End of the day, do some mobility work and squat as deep as you can without injury and work from there.
It's all down to ankle mobility, I don't know why people obsess over their upper back and hips when it's 90% just down to this. Everyone can do a super clean deep squat with elevated heels as proof of this.
Just do ZERCHER SQUATS instead. There's NO REASON to do this meme powerlifter "classical" and front squats.
Zercher squats are superior in every aspect.
1. Easier to perform with good form
2. You dont need spotters because you have wheight in you arms, not on your fricking hounchback
3. Hits your upperboddy like nothing else
4. Wrestlers do them because of point 3.
deadlift more
