I hip thrust 120kgs, diddly 120kgs too but can only squat 50 jag (below or at parallel). What can I do to improve? I feel like my joints and muscles work against me when I squat as if I’m simply just not built for it. Anyone else have the same experience? Pic related is my quads obviously not super strong but not dyel either
I can’t squat

Why do you do hip thrusts as a beginner?
Parker Jenkins
happens the same to me, the max I squat is 45kg per side at 12 reps and even that low weight hurts my hips, I think my body is just not designed to squat
Nathan Hall
Because it activates your glutes and can improve squat performance
Daniel Williams
But 45 kg per side is more than twice at what I can do
Jacob Ramirez
Do belt squats instead
John Sanders
>the max I squat is 45kg per side
so 110kg total you fucking autist.
Sebastian Cox
oh, I though you meant per side
anyway, I feel like squats are an exercise that depends a lot on the kind of body you have more than muscle, I see manlets with wide hips squating way more than me without trouble while

Try putting 2.5 kg small plates under your heels or get squat shoes, fixed all my problems

I didn't want people to get mad at me counting/not counting the bar and derail the thread
Alexander Hill
why would you not count the bar?
Daniel Carter
It’s an old /fit debate and a fast way to derail a thread
Charles Kelly
Do you count your bodyweight? Then why count the bar?
Christian Howard
Do you count your body weight? Then why count the plates?

You can't even squat 1pl8. You don't need to worry about assistance exercises.
Luis White
it isn't a debate it's just bate
Camden Long
You dont count the bar retard.

But I mean my glutes, quads, hamstrings etc INDIVIDUALLY are strong enough. And I care about aesthetics not strength so I do other exercises that target my legs but squats just isn’t one I can do properly
Jose Brooks
These legs don't squat 50kg stop larping you cunt. These legs are of a natty that's squatting 3pl8 or more.
Carson Rivera
I'm a tranny and even i squat 2 pl8 you pathetic loser

im in the same boat OP. Can only diddly 120kg two (for two hundred reps) yet can only squat 120kg for 50 reps. Its a very weak squat I have, I'm only projecting a 320kg squat which is nothing compared to my 500kg deadlift for 12 but hey, i guess we just aint made for squats and deads

post video of you squatting, otherwise how are we supposed to give constructive criticism. If your squat is lacking that far behind it's either a lack of proper technique, mobility or both.
