@kmar123 This is pretty much my workout schedule as well. I workout 5-6 times a week and I pick my rest day depending on how fatigued I am that particular day. I also make sure to spread out my exercises into upper and lower body days and I've had absolutely no issues. One of the reasons I do...

@ephraimite great suggestions! love this response!

@maria37 I'm so sorry for the confusion - I didn't realize until after I had written all that out that that might not have been what you meant. LOL Then I figured maybe another poster might stumble upon it and benefit from it LOL But yes back to your main question, absolutely. They will...

@roger5599 I've tried so hard to do the ass to the grass thing, but I just can't due to my mobility. One thing that helped me was elevating my heels, switching to a high bar squat, and assuming a wide stance. This helped immensely in getting lower, but I hit about parallel and that's about it...

@cathy1964 fantastic progress - love how the quads are strong and popping the fact that you are 17 and have your head screwed on right is very refreshing. there might be hope for the future generation haha. very impressed by your dedication. amazing squat PR!
