@discipleduchrist Ugh - monday squat days lol. Good point though

@discipleduchrist This was a really helpful post and got my mind thinking, so thank you. The logic makes sense and most weeks its more like 3-4 times at the gym and 1-2 outdoor sports. Not Progressing my other lifts does not sound fun, but you're right. I need to make choices on my training...

@jtgabq Im open to hearing a counter and what you're theory is and what I could do differently or what the issue is

@angie197167 Looks like a good program - maybe ready for a program switch soon anyway

I read a lot of good feedback and these are my overall conclusions 1) My body's shape makes squats a bit more challenging for me and that's okay! 2) My form is good enough, but working on tightening up could lead to better results 3) I don't eat enough to gain muscle, but probably am still at...

@dawn16 I dont care that they are hard, all my lifts are hard and I want to feel challenged. Like you said, the issue is that they are so hard even at light weight and its demoralizing.

@jesusdaughter155 You have a lot of valuable ideas in this post. I can see the whole back thing and the piston idea was a good metaphor. Would you suggest I completely abandon low bar back squats at this time or add zerchers into my current routine(which is posted in another reply

@jvberryjr Thank you for the video - I will check it out! I ran a 5/3/1 bt strong lifts and my current routine. I got injured and lost track of my program. I then realized how large ive gotten (185) and went to the hybrid routine. I worry about eating more because i want to keep a lean look and...
