I haven't been lifting for the last two months, and I hadn't been squating or doing much leg with for the last three months. When I was squating, my form was teh sux as I wasn't going to parallel and seemed to have a fear of not being able to get back up again.
Today is my first day doing legs again. I do 5x5 with the squat now the 5x5 for legs. I put the weight back to a low starting amount that I can build up from steadily - and I was focused totally on form and going deep enough.
And on rep 5 of set 5, I went down too far and...... could not get up (fortunatly I was in the power cage and the side bars caught it.)
I think this may have cured my irrational fear of collapsing under the bar. I take it in the future that if I don't collapse on the final rep of the final set, I didn't do my best.
