Should I keep squatting?

Should I keep squatting?I started working out last fall, most of my weights have doubled or tripled. On squats, my form has improved, but any time I try to do more than around 185, my back gets really hot, and later on that night and the next day hurts just to move. I feel like an old man. And with the stories of people and the horror of back injuries, it's kept me from doing them very often, or trying to up my weight on them when I do. I can do 800 on leg press, 135 good mornings, 200 leg extension. Really seems like something is going wrong on squats, and I hate to take the risk. Am I being overly cautious here? Should I just ignore the pain and push harder? Or should I play it safe and walk away from squats? submitted by /u/giant_red_lizard [link] [comments]
