A place where comrades can
(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,
(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and
(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.
Rule:
Approach every conversation in good faith.

Not a great example since squat form varies with a person's anatomy so the way you describe is not necessarily "the proper form" (and to be honest I'm a bit worried by it). Feet position and angle will depend on your anatomy and squat depth will depend on your mobility. Squat university has some good videos for helping out with finding the proper squat form for each individual
not saying to get advice from the internet, just sharing a readily-available source that's quite reliable and is consistent with precisely the advice I've personally received from professionals IRL
the guy himself is a physical therapist but whatever, be as condescending as you want to be
I remember time ago downloading (and then losing) a pdf file of Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength, thanks to which I discovered that I was being a massive fool by facing my back against the squat rack, for which I had to walk backwards in order to put the bar back on the hooks without being able to see them. Terribly dangerous.
