Title: The Squat Thread
Post by: bhank on June 20, 2022, 05:57:46 AM
Ok I know they are a little high the squat rack with the mirror was taken so couldnt really tell. Also just switched to 275 for working sets last week. Depth and form will improve as I will stay here for a bit. Pussies will just criticize real men will post there own. Regardless this is 275x8

Was never a strong squatter despite short legs but prioritise form and depth over weigh always work up to around 2 and half plates per side for Olympic style paused reps

Keep squatting a little less weight, you will get better at squatting.

Squatting is difficult- that's why I don't do it anymore, lol. Seriously, it is a very athletic movement, just like the clean and jerk. Props to those that do them.

  Clean form, good reps. You could go down to 205 and get out sets of 15-20 which would lock up the legs and get more growth. The guy in my gym with the best legs puts on 185 on squat and knocks out 5 sets of 20 controlled deep after pre exhausting with hams and extension supersets. He rarely squats, does a lot more leg presses to fully concentrate on the legs.

Hankins video didn’t work for me but I don’t squat so any squats are better than mine haha. Hendas squats look very deep, if I did that I would be stuck in the hole. Heavy weight cook, impressive.  Hope you are feeling better Henda.

front squats is an awesome exercise

Agreed.  My awful grammar notwithstanding LOL

One of the less talked about elements of free weight training is the satisfaction you can derive by moving from the 'shaky as fuck' beginnings, to the smooth, controlled and (feeling) powerful phase when you've got the hang of it after a while.  (Bro Science warning)  Front squats really helped me to 'feel' the muscle on the front of the thigh, whereas squats I felt all around the leg...

Prefer front squat as well. More emphasis on the quads and less on growing a table for an ass.

I've always preferred front squats.

With long legs it's hard to get good depth with a back squat.

Full depth front squats will build massive legs.

I’m on injectable blood thinners for next 6 weeks to try dissolve clots and thin blood and other medications that they give me in morning but not sure what. The angiogram will examine if arteries are narrow and if stent needed then go from there not sure about permanent damage I hope not mate

It’s ok on the knees as long as have the ankle mobility to get low enough in right position but being honest if talking purely for bodybuilding I feel I got better quad development going just above parallel but can’t do it now as soon as approach working weights body just automatically sinks them low.

I think this is the answer - has to do with the persons personal mobility profile.

I went through a phase over the winter going all the way to the bottom.  My knees cracked, and it always felt just "ok" so I have since scrapped.

Will still box squat and front squat, but prefer goblets, step ups, rdl, lunges, etc

Unless you're doing Olympic lifts or in a powerlifting competition there's no reason to go below parallel.

As Henda mentioned, slightly above parallel is probably better for building muscle anyway.

As someone who has had knee issues as well, I've found the wider powerlifting stance to put less stress than the narrower stance.

Agree with you about no lockouts, that's how I'm squatting now anyway, keeps constant tension on the muscles.
