Home-squat problem

Hi all.

I've got weights up until about 100 kg. Problem is that since I don't have any elevated place to lift the weights from, I gotta go all the way to the ground.

Now, I can take the weight and swing it up (in a controlled manner, don't worry) with 40kg weight. The problem is that I can't keep my back straight if I put it on my shoulders, so I gotta do a frontal weight-hold. Problem? With 30 kg, I can do 12 + 10 + 8 easily and don't feel much. With 40 kg, I don't feel much in my legs, but my hands give up at 6 + 3+ 5 reps (interesting that I managed only 3 in the middle ).

So, do I give up on squats and work on my hands until I can finally hold the 40 kg weight long enough to do the 12 + 10 + 8 reps, or what?


Thanks.

One of the most common questions we get from Precision Nutrition readers is whether we can help them personally. The answer is usually no, and has been for some time. And the reason is simply that there are more people that need help than there are qualified coaches to help them.

But every now and again, we open up a few spots in our coaching programs, and we're now accepting people on the waiting list for our group coaching programs: Lean Eating for Men, and Lean Eating for Women.
