Kg is not important. The controle is the key.

I know, I actually managed to get more sore from 40kg then I did from 100.

Nah! I really appriciate your new infomations. Actualy it makes sence too.Thank you very much.
I will talk about this with Paco tomorrow. And I will investigate this more.
Very good info.

There's no need. If squatting like that works for you, that's great keep it up!

I used to be of the "all or nothing" attitude with squats, but people are built so differently you can't judge one movement the same for everyone. You think anyone can squat like Platz??? Heck no! In fact, Dennis Newman was know for squatting with his heels in the air as he went down. I have the same problem, once I get to about parallel, my heels start pulling up. I can't do "the Asian squat"

I've got a friend like that....his achilles is super tight and no matter what he can't keep his heel flat on the floor thru the squat.

Yes. But which is heavy for you.
If you see Other guy in the gym train with 200kg and posses big legs, it doesnt mean that you must lift same weight as him to get legs like him. Each of our body are different. Some are very good at squat and other are not.
I am just not good at lifting heavy like others. But I saw many bbers who can do heavier squat than me and their legs are smaller than mine.
So their legs need to lift more to look like mines. Just i dont need that much weight to develope my legs.
But dont get me wrong, its heavy for me.

There is no secret there.
Just a regular squat.
I am not doing the ass to the floor style anymore.
But still deep and my body position is quite vertical.
If i say there is a secret for my quads growth, maybe that is the secret(Keeping my body position vertical as possible).

Where is the mask? You should wear it when you train!

Not because of your height. Its because of the flexibility of your achiles tendon.
Why dont put plates under your heels?

I don't like the feeling of plates under my heels. With all that weight on my back I prefer to keep my feet planted firmly on the floor.

Luckily I don't have a problem with my heels going up off the floor, but the situation with my back pisses me off. A person came up to me telling me "I'm gonna blow my back out" cause I naturally lean forward when I squat down.

Quote from: MONSTER_TRICEPS on July 30, 2009, 02:55:17 PM

Half the ROM half the man.

Btw for the guys who are wondering why they are leaning forward a lot - its probably leverage and you're a hip dominant lifter instead of a quad dominant lifter - that means relatively long limbs short torso type of guys.

Don't try to squat upright when you're not built for it imo.

That's how I'm built -- long legs and short torso. I stopped trying to fight the leaning forward, and instead just go with it when I squat down. It may look bad, but I am very comfortable doing this and my squat has been progressing.

My best advice is keep doing what ur doing, and do whatever feels comfortable to you.

even though goin deep is less stressful on the knees, some people arent able to do them like that, so whatever range of motion u can do without pain, is the correct range of motion for you.

Exactly man. I've had guys come up to me and say "well, you need to try to stay completely vertical with your torso when you squat" and I watch them and they go into good morning style on their own. It's easy to criticize when you're the one watching. The results are obvious with what you're doing...keep it up man, great work.
