Lol

changed up my squat stance based off of a suggestion of one of the gym owners, apparently for very long femurs it's either wide with flat soles, or narrow with olys

heels are about 6 inches apart, pointing 45 degrees out, the squat looks sooo much better, and feels more natural aswell. (was a little bit weird getting used to the extra ROM and hitting depth)

will probably continue to squat this way.

1:45ish is when i start

man you wear so much gear. wrist straps for squats, knee pads, belt, crazy lifting shoes, compression shorts..

when I was in highschool social media and the internet weren't as crazy as they are now. you legit went in to the weight room and lifted. you learned form and you filled out your sheet for the coach and tracked your gains, 5,5,3,2,1, mon-friday.

everytime I look at this thread I just think "damn this looks overly complicated." maybe it isn't, glad you're seeing gains though that's all that matters.

Doesn't look like complete shit like it did just some weeks ago. You still look a bit uncomfortable though, but form has improved alot.



Wrist wraps and knee sleeves are great for joints and stability, keeps areas warm and reduces risk for injury. Can't see why weightlifting shoes that has been around for decades are crazy.
It's not the gear etc, it's the user that is overly complicated in this case

I have really weak wrists if i didn't wrap em up for squats i probably wouldnt be able to bench, shorts are just for fun, no idea they did anything



jus feels weird "finding" the hole and pushing the knees out further, I'll get used to it!

squat looks good man, nice progress.

the gear is a bit much for me but if it works for you keep up the good work

not the shoes, but everything combined as whole with such light weight being crazy.

if I saw someone in the gym lifting that weight looking like that.. it's like seeing a dude wearing Jordan shoes, sweats, hoodie, beanie: Marketing. lol

More like you have a huge ego.

You're probably the guy who doesn't wear a helmet while bike riding.

ego has nothing to do with this I'm afraid.

I raced BMX for 13 years. Of course I wear a fucking helmet.

So you wear a helmet to prevent injury.

He wears wraps to prevent injury.

Yet you judge him for doing the same thing you do.
