Yooo that was painful to watch. Bar path wasn't even straight. Looked like he could've tipped over on that last rep.

Speaking for myself too I too have to get pretty wide to go atg for back squats. Front squats not so much which is why I typically like to front squat more than back.

But if he's getting results doing it that way I sure as hell won't knock him for it. :lol:
 
lol is he training for hypertrophy? or for a powerlifting competition? No? Then he can squat however he wants.
 
When working out starts to become a job, rather than a hobby, and an hour of lifting feels like an eternity (when you're used to lifting 1 1/2 hrs), what do y'all do? I've been lifting for 4 years now and I've lost all motivation to work out. The only reason why I force myself to go is because I don't want to be skinny again

. Was thinking about trying out calisthenics and just canceling my membership but not sure if that's the right way to go.

Take a few weeks off, keep your protein up and you won't lose too much mass, although you'll likely lose a ton of strength. You'll miss it then get back to it.

I've tried that already. Took 3/4 weeks off back in August cause I kept telling myself excuses, but it still didn't help. I did keep my protein on track though so I didn't lose mass, but I did lose a lot of strength during that time..

Try something different. Look up private or small group training studios in your area, try a Kettlebell class, or do like you said and focus on calisthenics but see if there's a group that meets or a workshop on it.

Other thing that works is to try out a few different gyms. New environment makes a huge difference for me, I'll often get better workouts because I spend half the time trying out different equipment.

He "squating" in a way where he can injury himself. It's not worth it

I'll keep this in mind, thanks.
 
Injuries dont care about weight. I've seen people injury themselves just by picking up a pen off the ground or putting a box above their head incorrectly.

Form is everything.
