    [FORM CHECK] (Cross post from r/fitness.) Please can you help me ...desperate to squat injury free !

    @laurimays Disagree. If anything it looks like her knees collapse inward a bit as she's pushing out of the hole. Agree strongly, however, that we need a side view.

    Meet Report: 452lbs at 105lbs, or 205.5kg at 48kg

    @yovi1972 For me it's just a matter of mental cueing and learning to engage/strengthen the correct muscles. The cue that really made it click for me was to imagine a quarter under the outside edge of each heel, then to try to smash the quarter into the ground while you squat. Here's a great...

    [12-Week Challenge] Week 8 Update

    @bubblegum2021 That is so fucking awesome, congrats!! When I finally managed to kick a bad habit about two years ago, I knew I would make it once I got through the first few weeks, because every time the thought of doing the thing came into my head, I'd think "well I can't do that, I've made it...

    Remember: You don't NEED Protein Powder (x-post /r/fitness)

    @theeternaliam Those are some vague qualitative adjectives there :) "Excessive" protein is not clearly defined. 1 g/lb is, in fact, excessive, but saying that much is "extremely harmful" for a young adult is hyperbole. It puts a bit more stress on the kidneys, for sure. Pushing it up to 1.5 -...

    Remember: You don't NEED Protein Powder (x-post /r/fitness)

    @folashade Oh yay, glad I'm not the only one spamming this link everywhere :) I think we've gotten pretty good in this sub at least at recommending 0.8 g/lb, with 0.6 g/lb being "okay" but probably not quite optimal (as opposed to zomg you're so protein deficient). I mostly just see the 1 g/lb...

    DEXA results: 27 F/5'3"/142 lbs/27.4% body fat

    @122r Thank you for posting this! I love seeing the variety of sizes and shapes that the healthy human body can assume, and I think the mindset you have about your body and training could use more airtime around these parts.

    DEXA w/ photos and videos [5'4.5"/115lbs/25.8%]

    @ruky Really interesting to me the differences in how the fat is distributed between you and /@amydoodles. It's like all of your fat mass is in your hips and thighs, whereas hers was more evenly distributed all over. Neat! People are cool. Thanks for posting.
