Then you're probably not keeping your shoulders pinned back and using them a lot more in the movement than you should be at least you know what the problem is

I stick to 30 second rest times, 45-60 for squat working sets. Any more and I just find that there's no intensity

Once I'm more comfortable with squats I'll give deadlifts ago.

Do them now

The bar should absolutely be close if not in contact with your legs, but this is not the only variable you need to worry about.

You don't need to use hook grip.

A belt will not prevent injury.

It's most likely that your hip hinge is terrible and you aren't using your core properly.

icecold has spoken, so short, so brutal.

Going to Bodypower on the Saturday, really cba though as Saturday is the worst day to go. I've always gone on Friday in the past as you get the most freebies and it's quiet enough to walk around without having to push through the crowds

I wondered why the gymshark queue was so insane, was like 2 hours long apparently. I thought it was due to the Hodge Twins

Reckon you look like a right bell flexing at work...

Bro...y u do dis? I'm always so complimentary towards your physique

 

[Steedie]

I'd argue that it depends on your goals, going too far beyond parallel and you tend to find that all the tension from your quads is gone.

So I'd say if you're training for size then hit parallel or as low as you can before you lose tension
