Pointing your toes out gives you more balance, but it'll move your knee out of alignment. The body wasnt desgined to have your toes point away from midline.
Its not that big of a deal, but it is something to keep careful about.

I called someone today for a PT session, a girl answers so I ask if "X" is there. She says no, youve got the wrong number. After a second she asked who was calling so I told her and her response is "Oh no, hes not here right now."
Shady, nervous people.

Most individuals have a problem with squatting because they lack hip mobility/flexibility. Once a person has sufficient hip mobility squatting is not an issue at all.
I'm not mentioning this because you said anything wrong but because you can prvide all the correct information but the person will still have trouble squatting if the hip mobility isn't there.
I agree. Both squatting and deadlifting are natural movements. If you see a child pick an object up, they will perform it properly rather than just bend their back to pick it up. Same with squatting. People are conditioned to do it the lazy way which is dangerous. That's why you see so many people that pull their backs out while lifting an object. They're just lazy and/or lack flexibility and do the motions wrong.

If anybody needs inspiration to lose weight, watch this movie:
for someone looking to get back in shape, would you guys recommend just working out hard for a month or so before going on a strict diet?
ive always had a muscular build from years of sports (football mostly)
i havent hit the weights real tough in months, so i have gained a little fat while losing muscle as well.
should i just get back into the routine of working out 5 days a week before i start a more strict diet. i think the onslaught of working out tough and having a strict diet while having school and work would be tough.
not looking to get big or ripped, just back into good physical shape.

Never ever. It was a cardinal sin to use it in HS.
If you were a football player using one, you were straight &^$$#.
I look forward to seeing that red line on my back after squats now.
I'd recommend it for beginners though.

i know what your trying to stress, but I am not lazy and do what you mentioned above simply asked a question on if anyone has seen results or had thier experiences with it? Why settle when I can continually seek improvement and effectiveness?

I agree with Durden here. Let's not act like people regularly put 2-300 pound bars on there back during the course of a normal day. It never hurts to be more knowledgeable about the lift you are doing.

Okay, what do you hope to get out of eph+caffine? 6 pack?
I am trying to stress something but at the same time in order for everyone to give an educated opinion we need to know more about your situation. Goals, frame, nutrition, etc.
Just because it worked for someone on BB doesn't mean it's good/right/effective for you.
