    it's just me or it's really difficult to get deep in squat with light weight?

    When I doing my squat warmups I find it very difficult to get a good depth. I barely hit parallel with light weight...

    Some weak muscle maybe?

    Yes lack of flexibility.

    I'm now able to go below parallel with no weight at all - it took a while after learning the proper squat with weight.

    ^^ the dude knows what he's talkin bout

    took me a while and a lot of stretching to get proper form on squats. IMO the 2nd most difficult compound lift to do properly. (1st is deads which i'm pretty sure i'm still not 100% in)
    Answers to common questions:
    Will this supplement make me big = i dunno, whats your diet like? (calorie surplus + right macronutrient intake)
    What supplements will help me increase strength = creatine + beta-alanine
    Whats some good noob supplements = diet + creatine + whey protein
    Estimate my BF% = Abs (<~12%) Non-Moobs (12%-~18%) Moobs (19%+)
