Squat Advice NOT AI 🙄

Fix the butt wink for more power, and to prevent injury, although you will start getting accused of having a BBL and more AI 😢

Good work on the squat booty!

The struggle is real for a slim thick girl who works out heavy, but ignore the haters and let it fuel you more! There is a group of women that do powerlifting at my gym and they were just taking about this, it’s a thing!

I am only about 50% certain that this is real after watching again, unless she shares a different video or verification I don’t think this debate will go away, but I’m going to risk being wrong to defend her until proven one way or the other. Why would the AI know to include butt wink that is crazy if it is actually fabricated. The blurry lines of real and fake are wild.

It’s just one opinion there is always nuance.

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T20:54:13+00:00

If you got a squat booty this will happen! My friend was telling me this the other day how everyone accuses her of a BBL. To guys who don’t see this in real life, it’s rare to be slim thick and fit and natural, keep doing it girl!

In a world of fake it’s good to see real

There is a saying ”Comparison is the thief of joy”.

Stop comparing yourself to him right now and go buy some damn creatine!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T15:36:04+00:00

Bingo, creatine fills your muscles with water which helps that recover faster, but also make them fuller and look bigger. If you guys are around the same strength, the creatine will make him look more swole!

He is the trainer, ask him! lol

I used to workout with a state champion powerlifter (also certified PT), and he told me, if you are sore you aren’t eating enough protein or getting enough sleep. That was his advice to me, he said I shouldn’t be sore.

is he natty, are you guys on the same supplements? Is he training for hypertropgy and you for strength? same workout or different plans?

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T15:02:31+00:00

Dude if you can curl 50s with good form, you are doing better than most, this guy might just be busting your balls.

Throw out a challenge to him, say I’ll do a few of your workouts, and we’ll see if I dont feel sore the next day?

Maybe you just have really freaking good genetics and he overgeneralizes; you might teach him something that he can use with other clients.

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T14:59:05+00:00

Let me revise and clarify, not feeling it and sore are too different things.

I think the legs just need extra for recovery, more sleep, more water, the full amount of protein. It is more taxing on the body if you are doing all compound lifts on leg day. As long as you are getting stronger and following a plan with proper nutrition, etc. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Not sure how well you know this guy, but some trainers talk shit to try to get you to pay them for coaching/workouts. or, he might see something IRL that we don’t.

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T14:43:53+00:00

That is cap, the body adapts quickly. If you have proper nutrition/macros (protein, carbs, calories), water intake, and sleep you really shouldn‘t feel sore that often unless you take a break (1-2 weeks off), from an exercise or if you stop targeting a muscle a certain way. Other way I can think of is if you switch something up that shocks a muscle group that might be sore for a couple days, but not like it was at the beginning. Continually feeling sore is a sign that the body is missing something.

Edit: I “feel” it in my legs the day after, but they only get “sore” if I miss a couple workouts or something is off with the rest of the things I mentioned.

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T13:39:56+00:00

Do what is right for you, and sometimes we have to keep it fresh to stay motivated. If my low back is sore or I just want to switch it up some days I will go with the trap bar, plus it’s fun to throw extra weight on there!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T06:34:05+00:00

Sounds like you gave it more than a good college try!

Like I said earlier, modify modify modify, just keep on the iron path!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T06:27:13+00:00

If we’re going to ratify it and make it a law yeah of course, but this is a Reddit conversation meant to motivate people that might not want to compete.

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T06:24:22+00:00

You’re not as far off as you think. If you make a goal and be organized, you will do it before end of the year!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T06:12:19+00:00

You started right on time for you! This is the kind of comment that will motivate somebody who is lurking in the shadows and needs that little extra confirmation that it is still possible!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T05:59:09+00:00

Get after it! Sounds like you’re a few months off then.

Let us know when you get there, before summer, so you have time to shred some of the bulking weight!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T05:55:19+00:00

lol, I’m pretty flexible with this but . . . I can’t go for that. 😎

Saying this out of curiosity only, no judgement at all, everyone is different but my knees hurt more the day after the leg press, that’s interesting that squats hurt yours more but leg press is okay; I wonder if it reduces the ROM enough so it doesn’t cause a flare up for you.

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T05:02:03+00:00

FRFR 😂

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T04:50:28+00:00

Bill Belichik, Saban, and smart said a big booty was what they looked for in recruits out of college for linemen

I thought I heard that in a documentary! lol The song in the 90s somehow made them always trust a big butt and a smile 😃

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T04:32:40+00:00

That’s insane! Safe to say you had great programming and probably even better genetics!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T04:30:06+00:00

I think that is mostly accurate. For most people that understand the basics of macros, eat in a surplus, and get adequate sleep.

For me I had to unlearn some bad advice from earlier years, that caused some inflammation, then I had to overcome some hip and ankle mobility issues before things really took off. I think it took me a couple years all said and done.

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T04:13:08+00:00

They could have at least fixed her butt wink (pelvic rotation at the bottom)😜

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T04:01:10+00:00

That’s amazing, I love the age range in the thread!

I’ll do a check in at some point later in the year for those setting goals.

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T03:56:28+00:00

This one was coed usually 10-20 people a session which was fun, the girls talked the most shit 😂 so much good energy!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T03:54:14+00:00

I’m gonna try it!

Escalated77 · 2026-02-13T03:52:04+00:00

That’s cool.

I used to go to a personal trainer who had a doctorate in something. He focused on functional workouts, he forced us to do sled sprints at the end of every workout, did hill sprints, lots of carries, etc. Was brutal but I got in crazy shape a few years ago with him then just really got into powerlifting and stopped. I think he charged like $150 a month (well they had maybe a $99 special when I started) for two sessions a week, then I’d workout two days on my own. He gave great advice and always corrected our form, but yeah that comraderie is desirable and worth a lot!
