squatting wrong?
hey guys i started squatting 2 weeks ago and i got extremely soar the firs ttime i did it, to the point where i had to use my hands to lower myself on the john and i could feel it as soon as i was done with my first set, this week i tried to squat again and i couldnt feel it at all, and wasnt even soar, maybe i wasnt putting enough pressure on my heel or my ass wasnt stuck out far enough or maybe my form was ****ed up, any suggestiosn guys? Thanks

First time doing heavy squats always makes you more sore than the subsequent workouts of that muscle group.

nah, you were doing them right. later on down the road, when you start to have your legs give out on you when you take out the trash, or its hard to push down the gas pedal driving home from the gym, because you've had such a good leg workout, your gonna love it.
just whatever you do, keep your form good, and dont do a good morning type squat on the way up if the weight is too heavy, you mess yourself up thatway.

Make sure youre going to parallel... that is, quads parallel with the floor. Try leg extentions after a few sets of squats and hold at the top for a second or two.

If you find that your ass is growing too much, or your lower back is getting overworked, try going just to parallel. When doing these squats, try keep your feet less than shoulder width apart, toes pointed straight ahead. Keep your back straight and your upper body perpendicular to the floor. This is a bodybuilding style squat and you'll find that you won't be able to handle as much weight, but in return your quads will get a better workout.

I think you will be able to do more weight going parallel regardless of form than ass to the floor.

i used to squat deep 365-405 for reps, but had to change things up b.c. my glutes were growing too much.
