I've been doing squats for about 6 months now. I always steered clear of them as I thought my form was all wrong, until my PT encouraged me to do them and said my form was perfect which gave me lots of encouragement to give them a go,
I started with 5kg each side plus the bar. 6 months later I can still only do 15kg each side plus the bar though I struggle to get every single one deep enough - sometimes I totally fatigue. Otherwise it's 10kg a side with good deep squats but still only 12-15 of them.
its really getting me down! Other girls (admittedly much bigger than I am in height and far more solid) are doing 30kg a side.
I just want to look toned and I don't want massive bodybuilder thighs, but I feel hopeless that I cannot seem to increase the weight to something more decent after all this time.
is this normal??
