how much do you think i weighed

[chaos]

Enough 

Hmmm........taking the 5th?

[wolfgang187]

between 160 and 180

[phemonmmill32]

i'm 5'11, 190, similar structure to you and have no problem w/ biomechanics.. sounds like a cop out to me

[WillGrant]

ive never done squats,  since i started ive only ever done leg press hack squats and leg extensions. my bio mechanics just arent set up for squatting, and actually i get the best results from heavy leg press and drop sets on leg extension.

Your pins are loking good for not squating then.
What are the problems you have when you try to squat?
Is it a balance thing?

[tbombz]

ive had people try to teach me how to squat... the problem is i alreayd know how.. i watch videos and watch people all the time... but when i do it by back is forced down in front of me and i end up dooing goodmornings with just a touch of legs...     i can do squats if i do a sumo stancewith my feet pointing out to the sides..

[QuakerOats]

my biomechanics really just dont allow me to do them. i could do 145 though, ill try that out windsor, but if i try anything over 225, its impossible... you guys would be dying in laughter if you saw me try to squat. but light weights i can do... it just dont feel like im doing nothing... my legs are strong.. i do real good form a leg press and go super deep (as far as i can o ) and i dont use my stomach to bounce off either.. and ill easily do 10 plates a side for sets of 15

Well if its that big of a deal and u really want to squat bad.

Try front squatting, you cant have bad form with those or you'll lose the bar. The bar placement forces u to stay upright, so give those a try and then u cant complain

sounds to me like you're just making excuses not to squat.

[tbombz]

if it was a natural movement for mee then id be hitting it every leg day.. i tried for about a year to squat every leg deay and everytime it left me frustrated and with a sore back..

[flexingtonsteele]

Front Squat! start super light, just getting form down, dont try to break any records and do the movement correctly, then once u have it down u cant start adding weight and since ur form will  be perfect you wont ever get injured!

Now go stop posting, and start front squatting!!!

Oh yea, and there is a reason, u never see guys at the gym front squatting............... Because its hard!!!!! So when u feel those quads burning, and have the biggest pump you've ever had in ur thighs, u cant thank ol' flexington and quaker oats for giving u the cahones to give them a shot

[QuakerOats]

everybodies back gets sore from squats, as long as your legs get sore as well you're fine, honestly this bullshit of "i'm not suited for them" when you're only average height at best is just excuse making, it's not like you're 6'10".

[JasonH]

Candizzle, I squat every week WITHOUT FAIL and I'm exactly the same height as you. There's no excuses.

[tbombz]

im not making excuses lol and flex was the one who attributed my inability to squat correctly to my height not me.. i think its just the way my legs and torso work together...

Focus on a spot on the wall slighly above eye level,stay tight throughout(whole body),descend slowly,and explode outta` the hole...........get re-set and go again.

Most likely either weak lower back,bad form,weights too heavy (ego lifting),or just freakin` lazy!! 

[brent2741]

if you dont squat you shouldn't be able to do arms or chest or anything like that. The gym would be a much quieter place.

[phemonmmill32]

i concur w/ the others

b/w fronts, leg presses, and hacks i'd pick at least 2 of the 3 every workout and maybe even throw some deadlifts in there if you don't do them on back day
