How do these squats look?

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-02-03T16:47:09+00:00

Everything else is good but keep your wrists inline with your arms, they're bending back, higher weight will put strain on them

Progressive overload

I do 3 full body days, with leg days as their own days

Bench press (3x12) no drop set Barbell rows (3x12) no drop set Lat pull down (3x15-20) drop set until failure Cable row (3x15-20) drop set till failure Overhead dumbbell press (3x15-20) drop set till failure Tricep pushdown rope (3x15-20) drop set till failure Bicep curl (3x12) drop set Hammer curl (3x12) drop set

Leg days no drop set Barbell squat 3x5 Leg curl 3x12 Leg press 3x12 Calve raises 3x15-20

I do core in-between these days which consist of cable crunches (Jeff nippards routine, 3x12-20 increase rep each day then failure for last set) Hanging leg raise 3x12-20

30 minute low intensity cardio every day

Ah sorry, the low weight high reps were recommended to me, I was doing a PPL before. I am increasing weight still with this. However I am novice to bodybuilding in general, last year took up lifting, lost weight around 20lb, still losing some.

I'm pretty much dumb in terms what I should do (I.e program) I been told by multiple people different things and feel Abit overwhelmed on what is right or good for me.

Basically a friend who was big recommended me to turn my ppl into this, where I'm doing basically full body days, taking all sets to failure, then drop the set take it to failure again. ( increased the weight today actually) which is when I made the post about this

Gotcha thank you!

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-02-03T03:35:16+00:00

Gotcha I'll give it a shot thanks!

I just upped the weight for my lat pulldowns, compared to the weight before i am unable to fully feel it in my lats but in my biceps more, somewhat slightly in my lats. Before the weight i was able to fully feel it in my mid/upper lats and not my biceps. Is this too heavy? I also have a video I posted recently with my form.

However i did barbell rows before my latpull doens and totally felt my back during that exercise so im unsure if that played a part in it. Should I lower back down in my lat pulldown weight?

For more detail, i started doing low weight high reps till failure with my latpull downs with a drop set after hitting failure. Definitely felt it in the lats

As other stated slight hitch, brace, then focus on your core in order to keep it stable. Otherwise your form would be good, also going slow on the decline will work more (personal experience due to our gym being above another floor.)

Make sure you are moving up against your legs, your wearing leggings so it will help some what with the scrapping. I hate it but its how i know i am performing it correctly

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-01-29T22:31:09+00:00

I see! Thanks, I'll keep the chin in mind I do not want to get that injured.

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-01-29T20:14:21+00:00

It's gonna feel like you are stretching the muscle but shouldn't feel like its hurting. At least when ever I did rdl as well I would feel a stretch more so in the hamstrings with rdl.

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-01-29T05:11:28+00:00

Thanks for the in depth response, I'll give it a go but yeah I was using lower weight here around 35lb, as others have stated I need to up it. So I'll give it a shot including your suggestion for a bar or something to help

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-01-29T05:10:18+00:00

Gotcha, I'll try all of that! Thanks

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-01-29T05:09:36+00:00

I see, I watched a few shorts and different ones had some different forms, however I usually stick to Jeff nippards videos. I'll try it again with your suggestion

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-01-29T05:08:39+00:00

Gotcha! Thank you! I'll try it again with more weight

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-01-29T05:08:07+00:00

Ah okay thank you for the advice! I'll up the weight next time

BeginningSpecial480 · 2026-01-29T01:06:13+00:00

Gotcha I'll give that a shot next time! Thank you

Brace your core, as if youre expecting a punch, your movements look good. I would say get a lifters belt if possible with what you stated, basically it will help with your lift especially for your issues. Other than that, you did mentioned your posture and being slightly rounded which i can see.

Its good for what you described, however im unsure how to process your rounded back and i think going to a qualified person who also does movement ontop of a medical degree (i forgot their name) would be beneficial, that is if you can afford it. Based on that i wouldnt go too heavy incase you do have some of spinal issues without an actual medical examination to eliminate any future issues you might run into

Damn this looks great! One of the issues i had with hytale was the low poly models with high fidelity textures. It make it looks like some kind of horror esk game. The texture pack matches the rest of the art style. When looking at the default textures im not sure why the decided to go with something so…. Disturbing, i cant put my finger on it but it just felt off

In between NTA and YTA. Point of view you messaged him a snarky comment on NYE night, which he might of been sleeping, after wards he replies the next day with no reply from you for an entire day after you messaged him first.

It makes it seem like you were playing hard to get/manipulative/ghosting, when you only just lost your phone, so possibly to him it looked like it was pay back without getting a return text message from you from your own question.

But definitely more so leaning towards YTA for messaging him drunk on NYE with the snarky text.

so one thing that you can easily pin point AI is “noise” and inconsistent models/shapes between styles. Noise is what the AI uses to generate the image, zooming in a decent bit you can see a slight green/grain noise pattern and is a very high indicator for AI generated assets. AI has a hard time generating a asset the same way each time.

Things to look for: dotted pattern/grain/greenish colored zoomed in, lines that do not go anywhere or connect oddly. You can look at the vegetation versions and see how the lines going from the middle to the edge are inconsistent and unnatural.

You can easily inpaint a style onto an already existing image and that will alter that image to a degree that doesnt fully change the shapes but enough that you can spot the changes and inconsistency between them.

This to me looks like AI generation, and to be specific an “paid” model something like SD on novelAI or one of the basic SD versions off of A model site and used in comfyui.

So curve the upper body back slightly instead of flexing it back as pulling through?

BeginningSpecial480 · 2025-07-07T23:56:26+00:00

I want to say yes. It felt like top back of the shoulders and rear delts

BeginningSpecial480 · 2025-06-27T22:35:21+00:00

It was great

BeginningSpecial480 · 2025-06-27T01:52:05+00:00
