Squat question

thebigfig72 Posts: 20 Joined: 2001/11/20	2002/06/20, 01:32 PM I know this is gonna sound lame, but I added squats to my workout for the first time in years. Question: After the first set when my muscles are getting tired, I feel them twitching. It is only when I am near the top. As soon as I start back down or almost lock out it stops. Is this normal or should I back off a bit. ---------------------------- do or do not, there is no try.

By doing Squats u can gain muscle in all ur body parts not just legs... havent u heard?... "work ur legs to get big bicepts...." Do SQUATS till u passout... if u have energy do ur faivorit calf exercise... Keep doin this and u'll look in to it... ::SEANYBOY:: PS. Ask the biggest guy at ur gym to show u the PROPER way of doin squats *just to be sure(even if u know how to do it)

I do not see many people doing squats in my gym and when I do see them I just laugh. Such bad form and/or short range of motion, but 300+ pounds on the bar. -------------- do or do not, there is no try.

You have to start off somewhere and I don't plan on wasting my time or hurting my body. You only have one body for life....take care of it. -------------- Lisa
