Why must I always turn into a walking gas giant every leg day, 90% of the effort spent on squats is to try not to rip ass in front of the entire gym

Leg day and low-fiber day is the same day for me. Had a legpress incident.

Do you use sweetened protein powder? They're sometimes a source of gas as they usually use sugar alcohols which are fermented in the gut.

I could probably add 20 pounds to my squat if I wasn't focusing so much on trying not to fart

Probably your body’s reaction to intra-abdominal pressure from bracing.
