I'm watching the "no laugh track" version of MASH and finding it much more enjoyable.

They are kind of uncomfortable on your elbows where you're holding the barbell. But I put a little bit of pipe insulation on there and it no trouble. It's a little bit of a wider stance and I find it simpler technique wise. Basically just sitting down and standing up, overall I feel it's a little simpler than back squats. Hopefully they work out for you

I switched to zerchers, for me they seem to work perfectly. I can get all the way down without any struggle and my back feels amazing. I imagine front squats would be very similar. My 1rm was about 340lbs for back squat and now for zerchers its 300, but it took a few months to build up to it

Back squats are a young person's game hah, I'm curious to hear what you think about the belt squat machine. I've never tried one but bells of steel sells a residential belt squat that looks pretty sweet..

After humming and hawing about it ever since the Reddit API migration, I decided that if I wanted to see it on Lemmy I really should make it so.

One of the things that I missed the most from Reddit was the strength training subs, as they were great motivation to stay consistent, and the occasional program parties were a lot of fun. A bunch of folks trying to get through super squats and drinking a gallon of whole milk per day made for some pretty interesting workout reports.

I have not traditionally been a community builder in the past, but I believe there is big a gap in the Fediverse where strength training should be.

Its just getting off the ground so too early to say how its going. But I have picked up a lot of valuable info from this sub and the others on the sidebar, thanks for that
