True...I'd say the squat was full. Squats "from the bucket" are beyond 100%. Good job.

That's not a full squat. It's a half squat. I can now full squat this 295# easily for a set of 5. A full squat is when the hams and cavs are compressed (not just a touch but compression).

[m1kekim]

No. It's 295. I'd say this squat was somewhere between a quarter squat and a half squat (more towards the half). I've done half squat triples at 385 when I was 207+lbs. The most I've triple full squatted with a pause is about 295x3. Full squats are tighs to cavs. Ass to ankles.

when i squat i sit on the damn ground, rollover, standup... all wit 1000lbs eat that youtube hardasses

That was horrible form. You need to squat back first, pull your elbows forward and drive with your knees last. Check out some of westside barbell's stuff.

I can tell that your'e used to going higher by the way you reach a certain point and then explode up.

Don't title your video "Power Squat" when you are doing less than eight wheels and don't even go down all the way. Power to you is still shit to every one else

@m1kekim ahah what? First ''I usually do 5x5s at this weight'' is not true. We can clearly see from that video that you are grinding the weight. You couldn't have done 1 set of 5 reps at that weight, even less 5 sets. Maybe now, but not when the video was filmed. Second, it was not a half squat, at worst, it was merely an inch higher than a true parallel. It was more parallel than anything else. Nowadays, keep up the good work.

@m1kekim No. You just described a deep squat. A squat is to parallel with the ground. A half squat is to a 90 degree bend in the knees. No one cares about what you do. The video is legit.

Not everyone trains to be big

[justinp766]

lmao .... Full squat blah blah, no one cares if you full squat or half squats....it matters how big your legs look in the end and how much you look like you can squat. I keep laughing at these kids who full squat with 225 and they think they are so badassss. I half squat 425x5 and my legs look much thicker and bigger then all these ATG douche bags.

Decent squat, the bar did look a lil high but one thing about it I deff did not like is how the bar is taken off the rack, get both feet under the bar like you're squatting it to unrack it.... Overall tho it's a nice looking squat... Gave u a thumbs up.

[ArentWeSpecial]

This is a fully squat, honestly. At least ,it is below parallel, and it would pass in pretty much every powerlifting federation in the world.

[pimtodaloof]

do some deadlifts to get more strength in the lower back and work on your flexibility. And the balance in your legs isn't how it's supposed to be. I'm not saying my squat technique is better, but I'm suffering from a "jumpers knee" now because of the buckling knees. So take this as an advice.
