ATF Squats and Hemrhoids

[bigpun81]

Anyone ever get hemrhoids from ass to floor squats? My touch hole hurts and I think its an inflamed butt vein from squatting. Seriously not trying to take allnatty's spot on the board or anything. I'm 100% for real.

thats what you get for squatting to low ... asshole pain and bad knees ... squat no further than an inch lower than parellel .

in regards to your question ... you may have just strained yer "gooch muscle" ... its happened to me from deadlifts b4.

Tattered hit that one on the head. No need to go that low. Get some real training direction or ask around here. We'll point you in the right direction. You need guys that are down to earth and know the body before you take advice from them. For instance, I have a trainer, Phil Hernon, that I was having a problem with a body part hurting while doing an excersize. He asked "Why do them then?". Funny hearing that, since it's such a simple concept. He proved that there are plenty of other ways to build that particular muscle. More than one way to skin a cat I guess. Moral of this story and I hope you all listen is: We all get stuck in our ways in BBing. We don't want to take chances sometimes because we know the gains we have made and we don't want to lose them with a new regimin. BUT, what if all your are doing is retaining now that you have sucked every possible positive thing out of that excercise? Or what if all you are doing is hurting while forcing yourself to do that excercise that you swore worked for you years ago? Get out of that frame of mind. I am telling you because I was in that frame of mind for all of these years. To afraid to let go. I took on Phil's directive in training last month. This past week I was wondering if with the aesthetic improvements that he made on me, if my strength was still there. Hopped on the bench, and max weight went up easier than it has in years.

Point is, don't be afraid of the simplistic train of thought, and most of all don't be afraid of change.

BTW, the excerscise I am afraid of doing to much is squats because of L3 & L4. You know how implanted that is in people's heads as a "must do". I am now only doing 1 set of wide legged medium weight squats along with other leg excersizes and feel no pain, yet am gaining tremendously.

Its possible if your straining too hard.

If you go to rotten.com or freakhole.com a powerlifters asshole fell out during a heavy squat... pretty nasty stuff, if I find it i'll post it.
