To me pain is anything that doesn't feel "normal" But hey maybe I'm just feeling tightness. As soon as I stop doing the exercises it goes away immediately (like a minute or so). This isn't like my knee when it was giving me issues regardless of what I was doing.
hmm, I noticed on your way up, your heels are lifting off the ground slightly as well as you leaning forward as well. Stick your butt out, like you're about to sit down to really use your glutes and keep proper form, look up as well to keep your chest out. Don't look down while on the squat. If you're serious, you can pick up a copy of Starting Strength and read on proper bar placement etc...Form Check - keep in mind I did my first squat/row ever a month ago. I have zero confidence in my row form.
don't go easy on me
Ok, I'm going to the gym after work today so I'll be sure to try the pointers you gave. THANKS BRAH
and when your back feels tight that doesn't hurt?
**edit, I see the dude in the picture is doing it with his arms wide out---I usually have mine inward (since I'm holding a plate and not dumbbells) Does that even matter?
No, you could be doing something wrong. Theres a difference between feeling tight and actual pain from wrong form or weak muscles. You could have a weak lower back or something, or maybe your glutes aren't activating causing the back to take up all the load causing pain.

Aren't you supposed to squeeze your glutes while doing them? I haven't done them in awhile.
My dude just told me circuit training with medicine balls and kettle bells is only cardio-ish....
When will people learn that the word "cardio" does not mean "running on a treadmill"
