700 in that form would have been ok. Chit I did 4 warmup reps with that weight he used for depth last workout. And I'm much taller, older and more injured lol!

it would be more impressive to see him use less weight for an actual squat
that was at least parallel.....was it not?

goud not everyone is built the same...
 so lets say you can squat below parallel, can a guy who goes deeper drags his balls on the floor turn around and call your squat high and be justified because he goes lower??? and berate your for justifiably so....
that was a legit squat imo
people are built different....


good post for once.

seems like when it comes to squatting half the lifting population goes full retard.  plenty of people will call a parallel squat "half squat" ::)

when you squat down, some people completely effortlessly can sit on the floor... others, like myself, simply cannot go that low, or even approach such depth.  if someone makes a concerted effort to "go as low as possible", a lot of people will actually "bottom out" at around parallel... then get criticized for "half squats" ::)... as if they could somehow will themselves to go lower.

the bodybuilding world is filled with petty condescension like this, people calling other people pussies all over the place for stuff they have no control over.  "lol why dont you try lifting arms!", "i had bigger legs as a natural", "you need X amount of test to get how big? hahaha"  etc etc.  i wish i could see these people switch bodies with those they were criticizing, and then laugh as they failed to do any better.

Squat is the only movement where fantasy are allowed.

quarter half etc etc.

The same range of motion in bench press and a shit storm begin.

This is an half squat.

I can squat a lot more when i go deeper than if i stop at Levrone level. I kind of do some "spring" when my butt hits my hells and get some momentum upwards.

i would have red lighted it.  but saying it was a half squat is taking things a bit far.  he's a few training sessions away from getting 500 legitimately.  but again.  it was obviously a few inches high.  anyone who says otherwise most probably has never competed........and can't legitimately squat as much as they tell everyone they can.
