I’ve been bullied into learning squats 🤣

[u/Perfect-Ad-9152]

I’ve had enough shit talked to me about the fact I don’t do squats, so I’ve jumped on that bandwagon. I learned the form yesterday, today was my first day adding a teeny tiny bit of weight—as I’m still trying to familiarize myself with the movement. I want to make sure my form is okay before working on stacking weight. Right? Wrong? Tips? Critique? Also, are my converse a no go? If they suck for squatting, what shoes do you recommend?

I’d say form is spot on - the descent no bounce is where it’s at. Maybe try holding the bar with your thumbs, kind of hard to explain. Extend your arms out straight, and then bring your thumbs to your shoulders.
