I recently started doing xtra squats because I want the thicc, for reasons
So I did some squats according to advice on the internet (check for butt wink, activate glutes first, intra-abdominal pressure), like 3 sets of 12, but then I almost passed out (not an exaggeration) from either a lack of oxygen from holding my breath every rep to maintain the pressure, or just using muscles in my lower body ive never targeted before.
Is it normal to come close to passing out every rep in the 3rd set or should I be doing something differently?
Also anyone who has the thicc feel free to tell how to get the thicc plz
I love squats. But here's how I first got my thicc:
Grow up poor
Buy bike for main mode of transport
Luckily live in small college town, then a city with decent bike culture/ infrastructure
Bike to campus
Bike to work
Bike home
Bike to the gym
Bike to the store
Bike to the bar to play Magic and board games
Bike to your friend's house
Bike home
Rinse and repeat. For 15ish years in my case.
