Is this a deep enough squat/ decent weight?
« on: April 15, 2008, 04:46:17 PM »
Just need a bit of advice. Is this enough depth whilst squatting. It feels like as low as I can go. It's 484 lbs (220 kgs), I'm 23, natural and weigh 100 KG.

Thanks in advance - Rory

yes that's good depth, looks to be right at parallel.

Your ass should touch the floor or you're not squatting.

a much more important question is - how much do you lift on leg extensions?

It looks high to me. If you were at parallel your legs would also be parallel with the support bars, but they're clearly at an angle.

Cheers for the replies lads. Some were very useful. I'll be sure to make amends next workout.

for a full squat, the posterior part of the thigh should clear the top of the knee

Yeah personally my body just doesnt bend that way. So i slap 10lb plates under my ankles and i can go as low as i need.

Then you need to fix your form. If you can't hit ass to ankles without hurting your back, you need some work. Widen your stance or change where you put the bar or something.

No...close but not a pass.

That's what I was thinking.

Still, good effort. There are literally maybe a dozen people who "squat" at my gym. And maybe half of those actually do it right (depth wise).

Props!
