I hope you're right, haha. But, my form on heavy squats SUCKS. I can rep out on squats all day long, but as soon as I put some weight on the bar, I tighten up and my form goes to hell. Squatting 3x a week should resolve that.

Here's a very simplified explanation.
-all fruits/veggies/grains/beans/nu ts/non-animal products=fine.
-certain animals are forbidden. Pig, lobster, shellfish, crab, shrimp are the big ones that come to mind.
-Almost all dairy is fine.
-Kosher animals must be slaughtered in a very particular way by a qualified Jewish butcher. Then, they must be prepared/processed in a special way, which includes salting (hence "kosher salt") to remove all blood.
-Food preparation must be certified/supervised by a religious authority. Even stuff like cereal, peanut butter ect. But still, almost all non-dairy packaged stuff is certified, in addition to fruits/veggies, ect, which need not be. If you look closely on stuff in a grocery store, you'll see special marking denoting that the product is certified kosher. For example, here in the states, the prevalent authority is the orthodox union, whose seal is a "O" with a U inscribed inside.
These rules aren't that hard to follow in miami beach, which has a ton of Jews. Within 10 miles of my house, there are about 3 kosher butcher/meat shops, at least 10 kosher restaraunts, and regular supermarkets which carry kosher meat.
However, when I go to college in the middle of nowhere, there won't be as many options. Cornell actually has decent kosher food, but probably not as good/healthy as what I have here.
hope this helps.
