I've never done what youse are talking about, not that im making any comment upon it, im just a fat wanker with a kettlebell... but when i do squats I squat with the kettlebell held in front of me, so my arse goes just below my knees, then up, bring the kettlebell in, raise it over my head, then bring it down, and then straight out again, and then squat down, and thats '1'...

anyone else do that or similar? or is that like a girls version?

No, not a girls' squat at all, I do the same sort of thing, it's a great compound exercise, I find, and I really feel it in the mid abdominal/breadbasket area.

Never interested me, squats. I do light with high reps using kettlebells.

Risk of injury is too high for me

risk of injury is ONLY high if your form is SHITE.

Cheers, I usually warm up with 3 sets with no weight then slowly build the weight up to my workout set. Only really have the problem with the heavier weights. Will give what you suggested a try when I can afford to join a gym again.

a foam roller is a very affordable addition to any home gym. have a look on ebay, i get them here in australia for around $40.
