    Don't do it

    If it hurts like that, don't do it. Find a squat variation that you *can* do and do that.

    When I do things bent over, like rows or gardening, I sweat profusely.



    Is this a new symptom? (For lack of a better word.) What happens when you lay on the bench without weights?

    I'd give this an A, don't be too hard on yourself. Nice job starting from a dead stop - lots of people (myself included) cheat a bit with momentum.

    Agreed with the others to dump the bodypart splits and move to a push/pull/legs. Upper/lower also good.
