It's the most painful, most technical, and most beneficial lift. Post your stats, questions, suggestions, and videos here.

When I squat I raise my hips but the bar stays in the bottom position. My torso therefore ends up practically horizontal and I have to essentially good morning the bar up.

What is causing this? Is the weight too far forward?

Squat's by far my weakest lift, even my bench is stronger than my squat

Do it 2-3x a week. Heavy. Read the article in OP. Do low bar instead of high. Eat. A lot.

Keep a proud chest. Tighten your core, as if about to be punched in the stomach. Pinch your shoulder blades together as you keep a proud chest.

Lower the weight too.

Find a rack. It's your only option

>most painful,

Am I some freak of nature that doesn't have this? I can go 2pl8s for squats and be fine the next day. The only lift that leaves me really sore is maxed-out DL.

I think he meant the act of squatting itself. It's rather grueling.
