Seems that the squat numbers are a bit low for women that I see in the gym squatting on a regular basis . My gf been squatting for year and change and she hits about advanced numbers now. In bench she is still upper untrained to low novice. For men it may be accurate. I have been off and on in squat and I am upper…

Great article Amy. Thanks.

Why. I was told inpast by a physiotherapist my hip flexsors were weak and contribute to my knee tracking issues. Also because i never trained lower body properly or enough and I am in my opinion very weak at the squat or lunges involving for compound exercises. I really drop off once my squat gets to near parallel and…

I am no expert but what I found is these three can help. Take a week or 10 days off. Increase muscle supporting calories. Find your weak link and work on it. For me being a home gym guy for years I had a good bench press going compared to things like core, lower back and legs. My right shoulder was weaker from minor…

No way. I collapse before parallel. I got weak hamstrings and hip flexors. I need to hold my partners belt that she extends with her arms and assets with my arms to get up. Flexibility hinders me for this exercise. Seems bad for the knees. I am right or wrong? Piss me off she does 3 like nothing first time trying no help.…

As a guy I don't have much fat anywhere except some at mid section. Office Chair and diet past lol. My upper body looks muscular because of my home gym workout history and just that lack of visible fat. My legs are not strong or big but what muscle I have can show more than my girlfriend legs. Hers legs are actually a tad…

They are back squats I am doing. I just tried the front squat just to see what it was like. Same when I tired the 135. It was already there after the GF set so it tempted me lol. Two reps was enough and I knew I was not doing them right and was done. I am sticking with 95, 105. Still doing some goblet squats too. Most of…

It had been years since I went to a gym too. Always used my home gym. It felt intimidating to use equipment I never used before or to try a new exercise and be bad at it. I was strong in some and weak in others. After a few weeks all that intimidation will fade. Just keep going and learning. No one is laughing at you.…

I did a bit more damage then I thought. Doc said I stressed a old injury. It reminded of something I did to my hip 15 years earlier. I went to physio which confirmed I had weak hip flexors and VMO. Hamstrings a tad weak. My outer quad pretty descent. I had a very tight IT band too and knee tracking problems. My flexibility…

Crap I screwed up on my profile lol. No I am s 54 male. Can't sem to change my mistake. The pain is mostly on the back side at the top where the ball and socket is. Then it goes over my thigh below the groin area. Now painfulful to lift my leg to put on pants. Better each day though. To much too fast is probably right.…

I can identify with this some what. It all comes down to training. As we get older we need to train our muscles and not neglect. I have some weights at home and a machine. The machine is totally upper body friendly but not lower. I really did only did upper body stuff at home so I knew my upper body was pretty strong even…
