Honestly, I couldn't care less what each individual rep looks like as long as my outcome is a increase in my one rep max. I go below para every meet and win. Thats what really matters.
While it is impressive to see someone at your BW handling that much weight, I was disappointed when you didn't even hit parallel. Why not deload by 20-25% and squat ATG? Full deep squats are better on your knees and will help you develop strength in your hams, glutes, and quads. Like I said, 500lbs at 165 is no joke. But it would have been ten times more impressive if they had been full deep reps and not 1/2 reps. One good thing though is that you weren't using the Smith machine.
@rdeffleymoviesnew good points, could be that he doesnt train like this tho and he does hit para btw its not a half squat its more like 75% squat, ive seen guys my gym doing half, its over a half but maybe it works best for him i always go bellow paralel or somewhere there but i dont squat a lot at all i barely do 60% of what he does and hes the same BW as me (little bigger)
we were watching you on powerwatch on the forums great job! you did awesome last year. this years gonna be big!
i compete at 165 too. i was curious what kind of method/routine you use? do you like the bar higher on your back on squats? thanks

Ass to grass only. The only real squaters out there are olympic weightlifters. This sumo good morning lckouts are bull.
