I Hate Squats

[Haggit]

That about sums it up.

I suck at them and it pisses me off. If I make the smallest mistake my hips hurt, I never know if my depth is sufficient and everyone else squats more than me.

So fuck you, squats.

Sincerely,
Haggit

Its a love/hate thing with me, too.

Squats more so than any other lift

Do you get video of your sets?

[Haggit]

There are several posted, none of which are of much use. Any time I have the opportunity to film them (recently anyways) I do so with out the intention of having a "formal" form check but rather for me to watch in between sets to correct something if I see it happen. So it is usually from a particular angle that sucks.

The squats don't care how you feel about them, as long as you obey.

I feel the same way about the overhead press. They kill my back if I'm not careful and I just generally suck at them.

I'll fight 'em

Press is a dirty lil bitch. I had start using a belt early with them so I wouldn't hyper extend (that may or may not be what you have going on?)

I fixed your quote. Keep fighting those bastards! :-)

For a depth reference get yourself a box to squat to. I did it for a while during alternating warm-up sets to make sure i wasn't getting too much depth creep. i thought it worked well, though you have to be a little careful not to slam your butt into it as that would do bad things to your backbone.

Anytime I call them a ginger I feel like I'm stealing your lines (even though that's exactly what they are and I do enjoy your description of power cleans too)

This is an amazing idea.... I'll have to stack bumbers though. Our boxes are too high
