    Your body is someone else’s goal

    @faithful12 I’ve had body image issues since middle school and constantly hid behind baggy tee shirts and boys’ hoodies through high school. A couple years ago, when I had made great progress with my body image but was still self conscious of certain parts, I was at the gym when a girl...

    DEXA + Bodpod results 22 F/ 130 lb/ 5'5/ ~19% Bodyfat

Obviously the volume is the main issue and sounds utterly exhausting, but I wonder if you could be even more fatigued than anticipated without proper body mechanics.

    Frustrated with barbell back squats

    @ortho I relate hard to literally everything in this post lol. Here are a couple things a trainer recently suggested to me: try doing a slow drop to correct depth (6 seconds) at 60-65% of your 1RM, then pop up as usual. This will help you identify if you’re compensating in any part of the lift...
