Figuring out how to navigate Gym Culture while still enjoying exercise

There’s always form improvements your can make, but I don’t think that’s the problem here. I see from your other comment that you’re following GZCLP. The program prescribed a deload when you can no longer progress in weight. Have you done that? Are you sleeping and eating well?

As for form, there are a few things I’d try to work on if you want to optimize how much you can squat, but if you just care about getting a good workout, only the first point would matter imo.

  • Depth: Consistency is key, and the best way to achieve that is either going to parallel or as low as possible. You will have to decrease the weight if what we see in the video is the depth you’re used to.
  • Unracking: you’re basically doing a partial good-morning to unrack. That’ll sap away the energy you have available for your squat, but it looks like you might not be able to change that with the rack you’re currently using.
  • Walk-out: Get practice with taking exactly 2 or 3 steps. The more steps you take, the less energy you’ll have for squatting.
  • Shoes: A more solid base means less energy waste. Your feet are visible wobbling around here.

Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do?

Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do? - Lemmy Today

I know this is a weird question. But I’m just wondering. Please don’t kill me. I do body weight exercises. And finding it harder to do exercises that want me to lay down on my front side. ^Because, ^my ^____ ^is squishing.😮‍💨 Also, there is a stupid stigma that exercise makes women more masculine. But are there any workouts that make a man look feminine? Like, it would be bit weird to see a BLL sized butt on a man, right?

Like I've mentioned before, walking into the gym can be extremely intimidating. Remembering 'Gym etiquette for newbies' can help- don't forget to put everything where it belongs, respect personal space, be flexible about your routine, claim your space, plan your workouts and don't be afraid to speak up if needed. If you keep these points in mind, you will become an avid gym-goer in no time!

Walking into a gym for the first time can feel intimidating- as 'Why are Gyms Intimidating' mentions, it feels like everyone is watching and knows exactly what they're doing. But really, most people are focused on their own goals and not paying attention to others. Many are also beginners, still figuring it out, and even those who've been there for years were once in your shoes. Once you get past it- it can be so rewarding!
