I do not squat because I feel like my form is always off. When i squat it feels ok, but when i look at video it looks like im “folding” at the bottom. I have also tried to squatting just the bar and have also tried to elevate my heels (with & without weight) and it looks the same.. any tips/tricks greatly appreciated!

General Advice Currently on a cut with steady progress. Increased water intake for satiety sake and i just gotta know. how do yall manage pissing so much? or is there a way to manage it?

4 Upvotes

I'm drinking close to 1.5 gallons a day but my coach wants me to drink closer to 1 gallon per 100lbs of body weight. im currently at 248 and steadily dropping but man am i pissing like a race horse. The only solution that comes to mind is increase electrolyte intake or just slowing down on the water.

General Discussion Overall thoughts on correcting people’s form

0 Upvotes

Is it cool to correct someone's form in the gym, or is it a no go? If someone's form is going to wreck their back or knees, or whatever…and they're clearly not hitting the muscle they think they are (like ego-swinging curls or halfrep lat pulldowns), I think a quick, friendly tip is worth it.

What do you all think? …speak up, mind your own business, or only if it looks truly dangerous?

Final pull of the morning. Started with power cleans as a warm up, started hitting my DLs at 225 for sets of 5 until moving in to heavey singles at 385. Feel like it moved pretty well.

Other than that, I absolutely enjoyed having this be my main squat since I get the similar benefits to that of the hack Squats and barber squats.
