oo inner, ayun sa taas ng tuhod. madami pa din ako kelangan na squats kasi once nagcut ako at nagstart magtatakbo ng madalas e ang bilis lumiit ng quads ko. nagkakaron ng definition at mga ugat pero hindi ko gusto yung size. SQUAT lang ng SQUAT!
Wahahaha! Onga pala boss Vinch hanap ako sked makasabay maglegs sayo, may mga agam agam ako sa squat ko e.
Iba iba din stance ko minsan, full ATG, parallel, below paralle, wide stance, blah blah blah haha
Mas maganda ipa-check ng personal kaysa itytype lang dito. Hehehe.
haha hindi ako magaling sa squats, problem ko nga yun dahil sa scolio ko. actually isang stance lang ginagawa ko. sa deads ganun din. di na din ako nagdeadlift lately by september na siguro. as long as you're hitting the muscle solve na. no need to do exotic moves for the sake of being scientific or technical. results ang important at the end of the day.
^ Ahh just trying different stance kung saan ko mas ramdam tama hehehe.
Kung ano mas magrereap ng benefits. So far pinaka gs2 ko yung full ATG, kaya lang kapag dna ko minsan makausad sa weights. Hehe.
try mo GVT sa squats. wag mo muna ipilit yung pagadd ng weight kasi kung 3-5 reps lang gagawin mo dahil tinodo mo yung bigat most likely half reps kalabasan, wala din. cheating is allowed towards the end hindi sa start ng set.

isa lang ang take ko sa stance find the stance width where you are "most comfortable" lalo na dun sa pinaka babang portion ng movement where the "bounce" occurs (this is for RAW squats it's somewhat a different story for geared lifters). where you don't feel discomfort/pain yet allows you to activate the needed muscle groups when going up kasi un naman ang isa sa pinaka mahirap sa squat, "going up".
in my opinion kasi papano ka makakapag focus para maactivate mo yung needed muscle groups kung dun pa lang sa baba (or bago bumaba) ng movement eh may discomfort/pain ka na nararqamdaman because of your stance. i have tried different stances and bar placement so far i'm most comfortable w/ semi-wide (a lil bit wider than shoulder width and low bar placement. i can move more weight that way. try mo muna mag squat using BW then stay sa baba ung tipong parang tambay sa kanto lang na upo tapos dun mo iadjustkung gano ka wide ung stance mo and gaano kalayo naka point outwards ung toes mo pag nakuha mo yung pinaka comfortable na width and foot placement while sitting then you can try using that stance w/ a loaded bar sa likod mo.
oh and once nakapili ka na ng stance width at foot placement mo it doesn't stop there, you'll have to hone (practice) your body squatting using using your chosen stance. why? since discomfort/pain will be most likely wala na sa equation (though not entirely i'd say) you can focus more on how to activate the needed muscle groups (core, hams, quads, glutes and upper back mainly) and pinpoint kung sa ka mahina.
Thanks guys! I'm not making it rocket science, I'M one of those na ayaw ng mga konplikadong bagay. The reason why I'm trying all of them aside from finding what's comfortable stance, is what would be the best bang for my buck in terms of muscle activation. Gusto ko sana balance ang tama sa lahat ng part. From glutes, quads, hams, etc.. I'm not sure pero feeling ko doing shoulder width targets more quads and the wide stance gives more emphasis on hams. But in my case, that's how I feel it. Any thoughts guys?
that's why i use semi-wide for my case though i can't entirely say that would be ok for you as well. saka when i first tried semi-wide is i realized i've got poor hip-hinging and weak glutes but those are catching up now after targeting them w/ assistance workouts
On my case, parang okay sakin yung medyo shoulder width at medyo lagpas 45 degrees ang toes, comfortable ako na walang hip discomfort when hitting below parallel / atg.

Ano ba yung tear drop? Yun ba yung nasa inner part ng quads?
Ang napapansin ko lang kasi yung sa outer, yung ang medjo labas, yung sayo labas na labas na yung nasa inner part e. Hehehe.
Kaka squat ko lang kanina pero parang gusto ko ulit mag squats bukas!!!
Wahahaha. Makapag conventional DL nga ulit, lately kasi SLDL lang ako or sumo haha.
Tapos dun tayo sa Iron Flex para kapag uminit ulo ko ibuhos ko na lang dun sa PT hahaha

Thanks bro.
Sa rep range boss, 8-12 ako ngayon, minimum 6 kapag di na kaya instead na half reps.
Full ROM lage gawa ko, at least parallel.
Sayang di ko ma upload yung vid ko dati para sana macorrect na din form kung ano man macocorrect. Hehe
