Dad hates me lifting. - Health, Fitness, and Sports

Your dad may be sort of right on your squatting. If your form sucks you will blow some discs out. He'd probably not be as alarmed if you looked a bit better doing it. You've complained about back pain before from squatting, so maybe your form isn't all there. I know for me, I almost never felt any real issues after switching from parallel wide stanced powerlifting kinda squats to full depth Olympic lifter squats.


Like that. Much safer. You'll have to drop weight at first, but it's well worth it.

I think front squats are overall better/more important, though. If you do some front squatting ATG for a month or a couple weeks, the ATG back squat will come naturally.

Backsquats are almost always gonna have some element of a good morning in them, where you're lifting the weight with your back, whereas front squats don't allow that. So personally I'd take some time off and really work on the front squat, then go back to backsquats later.

As far as me and my dad, my dad at 31 years old had a 260lb clean and jerk at 218lbs, 170 snatch, 180 press, 300s front squat. I do believe I'll overtake him and do his lifts at a lighter bodyweight than him, but yeah. My dad's been more or less apathetic about my lifting, and doesn't wanna do it with me, he's older though, like 56. The only thing he didn't like about my training was I initially went with very low reps and high percentages of maxes, and he told me to use high reps as "you feel better." Now I know about how easy my CNS can get blown out, so now I'm a bit more moderate and generally train 5x5 type of thing.
