I squat heavy(45 lbs in a backpack) three times a week and started a body-weight squat challenge 6 days ago. So yea, I'm squatting a lot. I can feel my quad muscles more and my bum is getting into some sort of shape. lol0

Nope. Hate 'em. Always tears up my legs and takes me out of running for a few days. I'm actually starting a good leg routine (that will incorporate squats) next week. I'll be sticking to it and working through the pain. Once my legs are used to recovering I'll be fine with my running again.0

I really want to....I mean I really really want to do squats again. I've been out of the gym for almost 10 years now (since before my first back surgery), and I soooo want to start lifting heavy again!0

Yeah! I do at least 50 squats a day0

Uhm, cause its heavy for her! I just started doing weighted squats in April, and just got to 50 pounds (2 25 pound dumbells). FOR ME that is heavy. Everyone starts somewhere, and the point of lifting heavy is lifting as heavy as YOU can and progressing, not whats heavy to someone else, right??? LOL0 -
Yep! It's the quickest way for me to lean out my legs and I love that I can do them almost anytime.0
-
Yes. I warm up starting at 150-170 lbs and go up to 250 or more lbs.0

I do squats 3 times a week and in just a little over a month I have already gotten a lot of improvement in my legs and butt... But I also do straight legged deadlifts and run daily, so that helps, too I do different types of squats, some with weight and some without... I have a love/hate relationship with them lol0

Being that I don't have a barbell bar, and I went from doing squats with a 20 lb dumbbell a few months ago to 45 lbs in a backpack now, I would qualify that as heavy. I work with what I have.
Also didn't ask for snark.0 -

Do you think i care about your opinion? No probably not skrillex
WTF? Did I do something to you in a past life? I didn't provoke you, so what's with the attitude?0 -
OP - just ignore the ignorant.0

Squats without any weight isn't really that much of an "exercise." I do that like 100 times a day as a matter of normal daily activity, every time I stand up from a chair. Doing an extra dozen isn't going to make a difference.0 -

The two comments were entirely obnoxious and self-serving. Heavy lifting, in particular in the beginning, is subjective to the individual doing the lifting. Get over the 'I am a better heavy-lifter' than you attitude. Or continue sounding like an arrogant and ignorant individual. Whatever.0
