Yeah, I was aware of that. Mostly hoping I still have newbie gains to ride out. I've also recently just cut my excessive alcohol intake way down, and also got a blackout curtain(I go to bed at dawn) for better sleep quality, so I'm hoping those will make a difference that will help me drive gains up a bit further.

e: mostly I just need a goal to keep me going. Not being able to deadlift or squat heavy for a while is kind of depressing, so I'm just happy to be seeing some progress on something I thought I'd always suck at.

That's what I wa saying then someone made some serious post about how important legs are lmao

If your only fitness goal is to get girls, rather than become so hot that the only person you would ever conceivably want to gently caress is yourself, then you might be living your entire life on casualmode, my friend.

My only fitness goals are being in good enough shape to do job adequately. I'm married so I don't get girls anymore I just get to be creepy old guy at the gym who looks at them.

Also statistics says 83% of people obsessed with squats are gay.

I'm getting too old and creaky to squat heavy without exploding my knees in conjunction with running. The dread of going down in the squat rack without honestly knowing if you'll ever come back up alive.

When you think about it that's much the same as going to sleep, going to take a dump, sitting down to eat a meal, driving in traffic...

Same. I just do lighter weight and higher reps now. When I was doing heavy weight a few months back I felt my knee pop and I'm like gently caress this what's the point

On the contrary, those moments of the day where I am eating and/or taking a dump are when I feel most alive.

I enjoy squats and have found having strong legs immensely helpful when it comes to performing certain pro wrasslin moves effectively

This has no purpose in real life but it's loving fun to hoist a big dude into your back and launch them off.

Squats trigger the panic/fear/"you're seriously about to loving die" circuits in my brain, I can't imagine enjoying them

I tried a goblet squat with a 20 lb dumbell. Back felt great, but my left knee exploded with pain on rep 2. Probably my fault, I've been stretching lately but have been completely neglecting couch stretch or anything for my knee for the past 2 weeks. I wasn't expecting to try and squats anytime soon but still should have been stretching it anyway. The good thing is stretching immediately relieves the pain. will hold off on squats a while longer until I've loosened my knee back out a bit

20 pound goblet squats.. Christ man sounds like your joints are made of glass or something. That or you're using the worst form possible. Or cancer/AIDS. Probably that.

But probably in the form of a couple cortisone shots in your knee and back, and not anabolic steroids.
