Many people who either start or resume working out after a long gap, make a BIG mistake i.e. going all the way down while doing the squats.
Guys, it is not possible unless you keep doing the drill for at least a month or so. This way, your muscle memory helps you execute proper force in a complete range of motion.
Start shallow, go for less than 50% of your range of motion (ROM), be there for a while and then slowly progress (both with weight and the range).
Trust me, you won't be having back pain issues this way.
The first variation is simple squats where the back of the thighs is getting the most of the hitting, also the glutes. So, tilt your torso forward, your hips backward. This way, you'll be delivering the weight at the right spots and there will be an even distribution of weight on your spine.
The second variation is the front squat where the target muscles are gonna be those on the front of your thighs (Quads). So, your spine will be somewhat straight and you don't need to go down hitting the floor even when you have better flexibility.
For me,
I am starting over after a hell lot of time. So, I am also following what I said to you guys. Staying within my comfortable range and improving little by little.
