>can't squat for shit
why /fit/, is it because I go too low? I'm stuck at 115, pls help.
>>36980737
How many reps/sets are you getting on 115?
eat
sleep
squat more everytime
yay
>>36980754
3x5 but its really hard and I fail alot of sets
>>36980761
maybe go down in weight for like a session or two and do more reps, then progress up to 115
>>36980761
Drop back weight to a weight you can do 5x5 easily on. Then slowly build back up with 2.5kg (or whatever small amount faggots who use lbs use) added each time.
>>36980761
Lower the weight to where you can do 7-10 reps, then go up
Also whats your weight op, being a big guy makes it hard too
>>36980769
I tried that but I can't get over that wall, it feels like I don't have any power at the bottom my hips and knees hurt when I squat.
>>36980780
5'8 165 some muscle some fat
>>36980786
Your gym got a lying leg curl machine? Hit that shit on leg day
>>36980795
will do, how deep are you suppose to squat? I go all the way down but from what I've seen from people at the gym I think thats wrong. Also thanks everybody for the advice.
>>36980821
At the bottom of the squat your femurs should horizontal. A straight line joining your knee cap to the point on your hip where the leg articulates should be parallel to the gym floor.
There is no reason you should be getting stuck at 115 at your height and weight even if your nutrition is shit, strength should be building if your hitting the sets and reps each time and microloading every session theres no reason to be getting stuck.
I dunno what the smallest increment is in pounds, but take the smallest amount off you can. 2lbs or whatever. Can you do 5x5 on that weight? If your failing a bunch of sets 3x5 on 115. I'm willing to bet you wont get out the 5x5 on the next weight down. So go way way down until you can do 5x5 comfortably and then build it up slowly.
>>36980856
oh wow I thought atg was to go all the way down I'll have to try this.
>>36980860
I dunno man I dropped it down to 65 and did 10x10 but every other exercise has gone up by leaps I can dead 205 1x5 and my bench is 135 for 3x5
>>36980737
>2 year lifting
>huge calves
>legs always get compliments
>only squat 245×3 atg
Why? Lowbar hurts my back so i dont do it. High bar feels fine but its hard to progress.
>>36980914
>Lowbar hurts my back
hurts like "oh shit, something's going to snap", or like "this bar position is really uncomfortable"?
>>36980930
The next day i always have lowerback pain. Same thing with deadlifts.
>>36980889
Did you then build up slowly from there or just go straight back up to a weight you cant do 3x5 on.
So go to the amount you can do 5x5 on. 90 for example. Then go to 92, then 94 whatever lbs go up by, slow small amounts, you cant fail.
>go too low
no such thing m8
>>36981015
I went up fairly slowly and I've had a day when everything clicked and I was able to load a full plate and get reps but I'll go back and try at 115 and it won't work.
>>36981023
Theoretically possible, but nobody ever does it. Judging the depth of ones own squats is hard. It always feels way deeper than it is. It's like inversion tables, when you're barely back 30 degrees you feel like you're completely upside down.

It's been 6 girls like this in a row and I hadn't realized until 2-3 days ago. My subconscious is fucking with me

Struggled at 120lbs with squat, just keep trying and try to do split squats or rdl, depending on your weakness. It could also be possible that you are gaining weight right now and thus increasing the total weight
