Good job on squats!!!
I knew if anyone would be happy for me the most it would definitely be you brother, I really appreciate that it means alot, because with the knee I was afraid man I won't lie, in the end i can't become a champion one day by being afraid, I appreciate your constant guidance and support.

Today I decided was the day I will start squatting again and put it into my routine rotation. I was nervous for various reasons, balancing the bar, walking the weight back, squat depth etc. I think everyone will be pleased with my work today as I am with leg day.

This is the first time I've used a squat rack since my high school days it's been that long so 2007 so everyone has context. I can say after preforming squats with a Barbell in thr rack my knee felt 1000 times better, I had no knee pain or discomfort, what a difference it makes being unassisted.

I also felt pumps like never before and it was awesome! Mobster and Stevesmi hit it bang on when they spoke with me about legs, now that I am at a new gym I 100% understand and get it now fully, what a difference, when you in the rack and you feel that bar it's go time, pumped me up big time.

I decided to test max squat just to see where I stand and after finding out I will be backing off and doing my one warmup and two working sets, volume is a little more for this leg day on squats, will revert back to less next week and beyond.

I used a box and mirror to watch my depth and get to the proper depth, the blue line in the pictures shows where I ended up on all my squats for the depth. I warmed up with a taller box but it wasn't deep enough and didn't feel right so I switched out for working sets.

I absolutely left it all in the gym today for legs this one was tough and fun all at once, had to dig deep and keep pushing, I know it doesn't seem like alot, when the gym is extremely hot it takes a heck of alot out of you to keep going and finish strong, I enjoy it this way.

squatting like a real big man @Noah Wixx

Yeah I actually never invested in wraps or sleeves I tried them years ago and I hate how they felt, maybe with material and technology they have gotten better with time, I will look into it see if I can find a good brand worth purchasing, I appreciate the kind words and support as always.
 
Very nice job on the squatting
 
Overall it felt pretty dang good compared to Smith machine, I felt more controlled and comfortable after warming up.
Its nice being able to move without being locked in place.

Yeah that felt so difficult at first and also good once I got the movement down, it was so awkward at first because I'm so used to putting my legs way infront of my body because the position locked on the Smith. I took more of a wide stance approach and it helped me reach the correct depth, I also didn't feel as much pressure in my back as I did with the smith, overall it was the correct move, an you pointed it out many times I needed to just go for it.
 
love to see your success
 
nice to see you're enjoying yourself and having a good time
