They are the beginning and ending (gains) numbers and after two months on the program.

Thanks! I get it now. I got worried there for a second, thinking I had to do like 75 reps of each every single time.

I was like, I'm gonna be there the whole damn day.

The only thing that worries me now is the weight for the Squats. I have to be able to put 300 lbs on my back in two months?

I thought that would be like the hardest exercise but it has the highest weight attached to it. The thought of it alone has me

I'm gonna walk into the gym like with the hopes of turning into within a few months. Have to stop bytching and just do it I suppose..

^^ I know, it's just.. I have a hard time picturing myself bending through my knees with any kind of semi-large weight on my back without falling over. Guess it's all about using proper form though..

read some tips on how to perform the lifts. and watch some youtube videos that explain how to do them.



i like that channel because they break down how to do most of the major lifts plus they also break down common mistakes.

one thing i've noticed about squats is that it actually helps your knees when you go low on squats cause it puts less stress on them. when you do "half squats" and don't go down to at least parallel, it's like your knees have to hold the weight. at first it's not that bad cause the weight is light. that's where you can afford to make mistakes to learn. but when it starts to get heavy, you'll definitely feel it if your form isn't right.

after that, it's all about going super gradually so that the small muscles in your knees and all the other smaller muscles that help you keep your balance and stabilize the weight will have time to adapt to the weight increase.

I'm not taking advice from the Man vs Food guy

I used to religiously work out. Not anymore. I'll start back up by fall.... not that I need to, but there's always room for improvement.

Going deep on squats is good.
But I just want to clarify, there are no small muscles in the knees. There are ligaments and tendons that are connected to the quads and hamstrings and calf muscles which go around and through the knee. The quads are one of the largest muscle groups in your body. Knee stability comes from quad and hamstring strength. THERE ARE NO SMALL MUSCLES IN THE KNEE.
