Everything you need to know about how to do squats

Before you start adding weight, you want to get the squat motion down with bodyweight squats first. Form is key, since performing squats properly can cut down the risk of injury during the move.

Below are links to the most effective applications for Squats . Thank you!!!

Sorry I am late to the party and only have scraps to offer
6 weeks ago 12th April, my gym re-opened and I started again 5*5 3 times a week, starting on completely empty bar and adding a 1.25kg each side (i.e. 5lb increase each session), mostly high bar (to parallel and I check that by filming from side now and again). As a result my total isn't big numbers. When I have 1/2 lb (due to working in kg and factor by 2.2) as I do today, I'll round down 1/2 the time and round up 1/2 the time.

+ 40,837.5 = 1,175,931

Edit: hmm... not tracked warmups and never really do, although I do a reasonable amount, I'll consult the rules at start of thread and see if I should start recording them and adding to totals

Crawling out from under a rock, eh?

Just kidding, good to have you and good to see your gyms are open again. Hopefully it's permanent.

During lockdown I read my spreadsheets, notes logs etc going back a few years I noticed a vague pattern, not enough that I noticed at the time but looking at the XLSs I could see it. I would train increasingly hard (sometimes in terms of weight or sometimes in terms of tonnage) and then something would happen, like a note to say weird knee pain so didn't do some lift or felt a bit ill and tired, or minor injury or something, nothing exactly the same but something... and it happened about 6-9 weeks into to big drive to improve something and enough to mess up progress. Despite reading stuff like Jim Wendler saying deload *before* you need it - take a small hit now to avoid being derailed later, or Jonny Candito and his 5 weeks and then deload (or taper) cycle, I was thinking what a great idea it was --> but not doing it.
So... since the gyms re-opened here I am on the first day of my 7th week, despite the fact that numbers are small as building up again... I am taking a planned de-load (about 10%) this week and will work back up again starting next week. Prevention is better than cure. It should be done on week 6 really not week 7, but I just couldn't bring my self to do it then as only just back in gym

Slightly smaller contribution due to the above
