I mostly do touch and go unless I'm near a meet. Not shitty, bounce off the chest touch and go, I actually stop briefly, just not really long enough to be called a legit pause. Enough to stop momentum anyway.

Put my sweater on so I can upload a video without my name on it. Lol. 2nd set of 365x8. Was supposed to be an RPE 7.5ish, but honestly I didn't even feel I was engaging my muscles 100% and all the reps were still moving effortlessly.
Had 10+ for sure.

First time in my life I think I've actually been looking forward to squats. Lol. They're feeling pretty good right now and only feeling noticably more smooth every week.

Squats for me comes in cycles. I love em and look forward to them then there are times I dread them. Odd for me that it works like this lol.
Sounds familiar lol.
Some days I'm dying to put the weight on the squat rack...
Other times I dont even want to look at it lol.

Haha. I benched 3 plates before I squatted 3 plates. So I definitely hated them until basically now since it's my only 100% pain free lift. Lol. I'll finally have to see what these little chicken legs can do. Lol

That's one of the reasons I kind of like them. If you're doing anything wrong it will be exaggerated and you'll notice it instantly. Potentially a way you are sitting at the bottom or driving out of the hole is causing stress on your knees? I see a lot of people have problems with glute activation.
Im going through that now. I tore my leg up a bit and didnt do anything for 2 months. My glutes went flat. Now my ass is tiny and my quads are big. Im finding any squatting for some reason is killing my knees. Major blow to the lifting ego but what do you do
On a plus side I found a squat rack. Told the girlfriend she cant prk in the garage anymore as her side is going to be a squat and deadlifting area

Back in 2014 the first time I benched 315lbs and 325lbs (same day) I think my max squat was around 335lbs. I was mostly doing leg press when I first started lifting.

I've actually been trying to finally fix my legs a little bit. I already have decent quads from all the high bar squats, but my Hammy's and calves are pretty laughable. Lol
My calves were 14" last I checked and look like they've never been worked out.

I don't know... I might have a 1/4" on you. Ha. I'll have to take another measurement. I did train them for a few weeks awhile back
Update: No..... Actually they're 13 7/8"... Shit. Lol
Wish I had the problem.
Calves are just silly on me.
I havnt trained calves in 10 years and they look like the belong in competition.
Quads are severely lacking
