Grampybone posted:How on earth are you guys the "only" people you know that apparently work out "correctly"? I'm not saying I workout better than everyone else, obviously not because there are a lot of people with a worse case of swoleosis than me, (A LOT) but I'd rather workout with someone cool who I can bullshit with. Pretty much all of my friends are lazy and don't workout, work at target like 22 hours a day, or just aren't fun to workout with. Squats make your butt big, all I do is run 12 miles a day, LETS JUST DO PREACHER CURLS! I've found a few decent people to work with, but it's annoying when every other day peoples workout philosophy changes and they want to do something completely different. So what I've been doing is just hey broing people I see in the gym doing exercises I wanna do. Some are cool, some dudes scream real loud dead lifting like 180, and some stare at my rear end. Basically this is the internet its for complaining!!!

I think crossfit is okay for the individual that wants to lose weight or wants to get better at crossfit. But No, crossfit won't make you an olympic class athlete, just a good crossfitter. I did it for about two weeks, didn't feel like paying for it, and now I just go to a gym and make my own workouts that's specific to my sport. P.S Fran is lame if you Kip and only real men do Fran with standard pullups. Nice and hot piss fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Sep 7, 2012 |

I'd ask in YLLS but I don't feel like being called a retard for not reading a 125 page thread. When I squat, I can't keep my heels on the floor around the point that my thighs are getting parallel to the deck.* I can squat if I put my heels on small weights but I'd like to be flexible enough to not need to do so. I also don't want to buy special shoes in order to squat. What should I do to improve my flexibility? *intentional use of naval terminology

You should be using the flattest sole possible to squat. I know you guys get all snippy when Vibram elitist act....themselves. But they're really great to squat in. More support is worse for you. I've seen dudes do it barefoot. You might feel like a douchebag but this is better than your $200 new balance  That being said. Nothing wrong with a 2.5 lb plate under your heels. Otherwise you might be leaning too far forward. I have a bum ankle and lost a lot of flexion and don't have troubles. Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Sep 14, 2012 |

More support is worse for you. I've seen dudes do it barefoot. I'm fully open to the idea that my form sucks dick. I read the YLLS form thread a lot but I guess it's just not clicking for me. I didn't have a problem squatting in high school but I always had a spotter and the weight room had these baller rear end squat bars.  They probably actually suck really bad but I liked them because I could use my hands on the rack to keep my balance while squatting. Maybe my problem is that I don't have a spotter so I'm afraid to lean back too far. Godholio posted:I like all-stars. you would, you gingerfuck

Godholio posted:I like all-stars. I'm just saying a lot of people probably think dudes working out in those are douches when they're actually better for lifting than their fancy running shoes. I don't get the middle part of that bar. You should NEVER squat with any kind of paddding/support. Or any kind of machine. Always free weight barbell. Doing squats sucks and it's hard to get the technique down. You're absolutely miserable during the set and almost pass out when you're done. But obviously once you get past that you feel amazing. Watch some youtube videos of people doing it PROPERLY. Here's just a couple tips to keep in mind while squatting. Seriously, run some of these through your head and you'll literally feel the difference instantly. *Feet roughly shoulder width apart *Toes pointed just slightly outward *DO NOT LOOK UP. Common mistake. Always look straight *Back flat *Drive your hips forward. This is probably the most important thing in squatting. *Imagine your standing on a towell and while driving up you're trying to rip the towell in half with your feet *Don't flare your elbows out *Keep your breathing in mind. Once you get your breaths backwards it'll really mess yo up. (in on the way down, out on the way up) *ATG! (rear end TO GRASS) You want to touch your hamstrings to your calves. Or as deep as you can. None of this "stop at parellel" bullshit you learned in High School. (note a lot of people will probably disagree with this, go google for yourself) *Do not bounce up *imaging your squatting to take a poo poo out in the woods. Butt way down. I've been told your knee cap shouldn't go past your toes when squatting but I've also heard that it doesn't matter. Not 100% sure.  oh and this

What should I do to improve my flexibility? it sounds like you lean way too far foreward towards the bottom, it isnt really terrible to use some small plates over your heels tough, works the quads more. it took me a long time and massive amounts of youtube spergin but the thing that finally made squats click for me was being told to break at your hips, not your knees. maybe itll help another goon out there some fateful day~ also before squats to stretch i get in the deepest squat stance i can manage and hold it for 20 seconds, really loosens me up  converse are gay and dumb

I guess I'll keep watching videos and reading the internet until it clicks. I don't know if I get "break at the hips" though. I'm pretty comfortable doing the other 3 compound lifts and leg pressing. Leg presses are cool because you can load up a ton of weight and feel strong/superior to the dudes in the gym who don't do legs. edit: I have no idea what the point of the bar is. I liked it because I didn't have to worry about keeping it on my back so I could use my hands to steady myself. That's probably not the designers intent but whatever. I used it in weightlifting PE a decade ago. vains fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Sep 14, 2012 |

basically the first motion of a squat shouldnt be to bend your knees, but your hips/waist/we the gently caress its called, this keeps my knees from shooting forward and keeps my torso straighter, thus the weight will be felt further back on ur feet. if that makes sense the bar youre talking abt is called a safety squat bar iiirc, they own i wish i knew a gym that had one

You could try box squats to get used to the sitting motion, as well.

I'm telling you man. It's the little things in compound lifts that determine if you're going push more weight and possibly injure yourself. They're just so tiring you forget the basics. Just remember to breathe and run all that poo poo I posted through your head.

rear end to grass only and not looking up are pretty dumb tbh Idk what the gently caress you mean by high school coaches or whatever because pretty much the standard for a proper squat is parallel most idiots in the gym do 1/4 or 1/2 of that which is dumb genderstomper58 fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Sep 16, 2012 |

Looking up is likely to help your form, but it's not really necessary to do it forever once you got like muscle memory or whatever. edit: I always look up out of habit, but if you know what you're doing it's not like it's a problem or anything.

Basically don't let your eyes wander because your head will follow and that could lead to having your cg roll forward. I use a piece of tape to focus at when I squat in front of a mirror. It helps.

BULLETS CURE ISLAM posted:http://www.youtube.com/user/johnnymnemonic2 This guy's poo poo is pretty good. A lot of videos to watch and words to listen to so I can only watch one or two videos at a time. edit: Almost barfed in the gym doing legs today. My greatest regret was not finishing off with lunges to ensure that I puked. I have scrawny rear end calves but not scrawny thighs. Other than shaving my legs, how do I make my calves not appear so scrawny? I don't want someone to surreptitiously take a picture of my legs and turn them into an image meme. Unrelated; Whenever someone tells me that I look good/big, I always think they're loving with me and I start thinking about how I'm not eating enough or lifting enough or whatever. Body dysmorphia is loving cool. It's also good motivation because anytime I feel too lazy to lift I just start thinking about how small I am.

Your calves are small cause your not doing enough calf raises. If calf raises aren't helping then guess what you got small legs God hosed you.
