Once bad habits are learned, they are very hard to break. Many people get 'greedy' and up the weights far too soon.
If you are really uncomfortable with the free weight squat, there are plenty of alternatives such as the leg press, bulgarian split squats, split squats, lunges, etc.
It's best to learn the exercise from someone who knows what they're talking about.
That said, I've 'coached' plenty of people to execute a good squat via the web too....
3 times per week sounds about right.
If you are going to go 3x per week, I'd make each day you train a full body routine.
Also, by arms, I assume you mean upper body? |
on the 3 times per weaking doing upper body. I think inlove needs take video of her squatting form and then post in here.
I agree on form, I can't count how many people I see pushing their knees well out in front of their toes when they squat and it scares the crap out of me!
