    beautiful...starting part 3 now...very helpful so far.
    I just had to deload from 100 down to 60 because I realized I had bad form as the weight got higher. This is just what I needed right now.

    I highly recommend that anyone who is starting a strength training program that includes squats (any program worth it's weight does) look into "Starting Strength," by Mark Rippitoe

    since my silly old computer won't allow me to watch videos, anyone know a site with pictures that could help me? i've got a funny feeling I'm doing squats incorrectly...

    Oh, one more thang:

    Check out his videos on YouTube as well. He is very funny and very experienced. Personally I added 110lbs to my Squat using his and the 5x5 program at Stronglifts.com in just over 4 months.

    FYI: I lift 3-5 times per week.

    I'm reading this now; excellent book, TONS of great information, and I'm pretty sure my squats are PERRRRFECT from his advice. Rippetoe rocks.
