squatting

[the_azn_fu]

hi

i think my legs are too strong for my back.

the amount of weight i put on to be able to do a maximum of 10 reps is too much weight for my back, so my lower back gives out before my legs do.
im pretty sure i use perfect form for the squats as well.
any suggestions or tips, or is this normal?

thanks

I don't really feel squats in my lower back at all.


You should take a video clip of your squat if you can. Thats the only way we can help you with your form.

yes its normal, thats what happened to me...now i'm focusing more on deadlifting, and barbell rows..spend a few months on your back.

Start doing Good mornings and other lower back/posterior chain exercises.

Marius is effin huge. Just thought I'd let everybody know that.:rock:

He's pretty damn lean too.

Apparently he's quite strong too.

Just a tad...

Thats 'roids for you. He actually got expelled from the federation in 2001 (I think), for taking them (Ironically, the year he actually lost), but the rest of the "strongmen" basically said that if he was expelled, they might aswell expell all of them as they were on the same stuff, so they let him back in.

roids or not, hes still huge. lol. I'm sure some of the bodybuilders trained like Marius, they'd gain some serious size.
