Is it normal to not be able to squat the bar when you first start out
Not at all, it's probably a form or mobility issue. Try squatting with your arms in front of you till you get it right.

my PT said the form was great, and just told me to squat as deep as I could go without losing form but I couldnt go very far. Guess I just have to keep trying till it happens. Thanks anon.

No. If your form is right you should be able to squat a measly 20kg. Give up now if you can't. You do that kinda shit in everyday lift
>>36981937
Normal as in average ?
Probably not.
However that doesn't change a thing, everyone had their little hurdles in on their way,
Improve your forms and repeat till you you get it.

Only if by 'first start out' you mean 'first start out of the womb', then yeah.

I'm a pretty weak kid, and in my first time at weighted squatting the other day I squatted 30kg (bar is 20kg) pretty fine. After about 7 reps it started to burn a ton so I tried pushing myself to 12.
I think its just because I decently strong legs though. I used to do a lot of rugby when I was younger, and have done a lot of walking and swimming for ages so..maybe thats it.
Dw bruh doing lighter weights is okay...I did chest for the first time the other day and failed doing incline 7kg dumbbell press cuz my left arm gave way (wank imbalance)

I vaguely remember the first time we lifted weights in high school, we were all testing maxes. Essentially, we were all exposing our genetic potential at the ripe age of 13. I, could barely bench over bw at the time, 165lbs. No kid did over 200, but some did go over 165.
But when we got to the squat, thats when I knew. I knew that some of us are just born superior to others. And some of us inferior. I could barely squat 185, heavy as shit for me. But there were some kids squatting 2plates, you know, the lineman types. Some were squatting, close to 315, albeit not with the best form. I'm sitting here skinny, with minimal muscle on my bones amazed at how they can squat so much in the same condition. They were squatting my deadlift max. But at the time I didn't feel adoration, I just saw. The glasses in which I viewed the world through were still shaded with a reflection of myself, and so, even though I saw the impressive feats and true potential of genetic superiority, I could only truly focus on my own development and how I was still better than someone else. Ignoring the superior and focusing on who was inferior to me.

maybe if you're really fyat and have a lot of bw in addition, otherwise nah, 20 kilos isn't much at all, and you should be able to pull that off
