my squat is jacked the fuck up. My lower back seems to be rounding at the bottom for the “wink” and on a couple of reps I think my upper back was rounding as well. This is why I started from 0 and really want to correct it before I lift heavy er weight

sitting between 183-185# right now

Nice work! The squat form is likely stemming from hip and ankle mobility. People tend to round when they feel they are not getting enough depth, which is usually caused at the ankle and/or hips.

Are those micro plates ones that clip on and are like 1.25# each? I've got some myself and they're pretty handy particularly for the hard rubber dumbells where the gym's magnetic micro plates won't work. My progression for some things like DB presses is too small to jump the next weight up.

I have a video I wanted to post for advice but the site isn’t letting me take it from my phones library. I agree with what you’re saying about the ankles and hips though. My last squat session looked better however, if I go atg I still see the wink

My micro plates are not clip ones, they slide like a normal plate. I have a set of adjustable dumbbells but they’re 1 inch diameter instead of 2, which is the size of the micros. I can still make it work though. Logest brand fractional Olympics from Amazon. Paid like 25# for the set. Thought it was a killer deal.

192 lbs got some back fat I don’t like but I’m seeing thickness in other places too. Neck , arms, quads , chest. Gonna start working on cleaning up the diet after Christmas. Holiday junk food is the party that rocks the party.
