Let's talk about squats and myths. Only 3 years ago I was horrified of squats because
-I never trained them
-Couldn’t squat a lot
-Made up myths about “tall body/can’t squat”
The biggest one is I didn’t train them until one day I came across 30-day squat program. I know it sounds pretty dumb for generality but I was intrigued.
I’m a rebel, I love going against the usual indoctrinated beliefs.
First week was absolutely horrific from the soreness to my nervous system being shocked.BUT....
About 10-days in I noticed differences in my energy, my stride, posture, and most importantly I was able to handle more weight.
You would think the opposite but I was making progress in every lift.
So... the takeaway is sometimes it’s all about immersing yourself in the process and testing your own theory, which sometimes means going against everything you believed.

straight back is essential, also didn't realize you flex your pelvis while coming up from the squat. Adds power, what weights you working

This was only 205, I think I got about 250lbs total at home, trying to work with what I got.
But the main difference was I warmed up with sissy squats and leg extensions targeting the inner thighs. It might look light my glutes are taking the most of the weight, but they're only supporting the weight and form. 80% was on the inner thigh.
For me personally, since my back is tight from jiu-jitsu I focus on good warmup and activation to get good reps for squats.
Squat yourself I assume?
