Checking ATG Squat form 3

Ok, i tried extra hard to keep my back tight, chest up, and butt out, and to contract my lower back muscles

despite my attempts to try to keep my pelvis from moving, it still did 9i think...)

Not really. ATG squats are MUCH better for the knees then going parallel.

exactly stopping at paralles is worse for your knees cause the stopping motion is transfered into your knees whereas atg all the stopping motion is in your hamstrings wich is good....some people will never learn

I don't hate on ATG squats, but I would like to correct a few of you on the powerlifting squat. The weight isn't stopped by the knees, it is stopped by the hips. The PL Squat is a hip driven movement.

@paragonx88 how would you do this? same problem here.

If your ass ain't touching the floor no ATG bro.

Go lower.

not bad, but doesnt really count for shit seeing as its light enough for you to clean and press

[paragonx88]

Low back starts to round at the bottom, do more hip stretching.

Form looks solid. Get a damn rack

[adamgm84]

looks like your locking your legs out at the top aswell. you should goto like 90-99% all the way up to keep tension on. its like a mini rest if you lock out.

i cant see for sure though but it sure looks like your bombing up and locking out

pelvis tucks in, other than that, it looks good to me

[TheDancingMarionette]

the problem with ATG squats is the if you come down to fast or you 'bounce' the weight up then where you glutes meet your calves the momentum will keep pushing down stretching your knee joint around these muscles which is bad.

the slight buttwink at full depth is totally okay imo. i've never seen someone go full depth without a slight pelvic rotation
