    When I was a teenager and I first started getting into weight lifting, ALL the time people would "correct" my squat form by telling me to pull my chest up as much as possible, and to flair out my ass.... Here I am at 22 years old finding out why the fuck my lower back has been in agony all this time.. Thank you man ❤

    Fucking hell man I didn't know you had to do all that for a squat, no wonder my lower back hurts lol.
    I never understood about chest and hips really, I did know you need to breath in and push your core out but I was never making my ribs rest on it.
    I thought it was the issue of me moving my hips forward.
    It's all about resting on the core, and actually using it lol.
    Just now my lower back was hurting so much on the 185s, now I'm doing 225 and it's pain free.
    My legs can handle heavy weight but my lower back just simply can't, but ty. I've been training these stabilizing muscles but never really used them.
