I've been told many times the best way to get better at squatting is to do more squats .
And it's true .

True. To be able to effectively do squats without greater risk of form breakdown (and subsequent injury) you sometimes need to do accessory work as well. Nothing replaces the action of doing them though, that’s for sure.I've been told many times the best way to get better at squatting is to do more squats .

Two things:
1. Started using treadmill 3 times weekly, 8-9 mins at like old man 11 min/mi pace. Slow as fuddddddge .
2. Haven't had a drink in 21 days
Went from 192lbs to 187lbs, went from 2nd belt loop to 4th belt loop, look tone AF but still a few lbs away from 6 pack.
Really taking time to perfect technique. Starting to focus on big belly breathe for squatting, bulldog grip for ohp and bp (annoying).
Latest 3 Rep PR:
BP 270
SQ 235 (getting better!)
DL 277.5 (this can move up)
After being in denial about beer and running, I'll admit, it is definitely helping my aestethics. My squat is still underwhelming but my legs and glutes have grown like tenfold. Very strange.
Also have been avoiding drinking. That stuff is poison and it costs too much. Tasty though, I’ll give it that.

I'm coming to the conclusion that you need to be extremely dedicated to every single thing you are eating and work out like it's your job to get insanely ripped abs .
Pretty much. Or born with great genetics/metabolism/body fat.
Have a cousin who has a 6 pack/shredded abs no matter what. He never worked out(and he's about 29 now) and he has had that ripped stomach since he was probably 8 or 9.

I’ve been getting my half sleeve done so I haven’t been able to work out as much. Also put on a few pounds in Las Vegas and over Halloween. I can’t wait until the art is done and I can really get back into the gym in earnest.
I’m getting a half on my right and left arm. It’s a season/elements/animal theme. Autumn is what was just finished and it includes and owl, leaves, clouds, and smoke. Getting winter on my inside next. It’s going to have a winter forest/wolf and cooler tones. Might have a lake in it as well.What is your sleeve of?
You don’t seem like a tattoo guy to me, from what I know of you.

It’s traditional style with Japanese influences.
