Whoever told you that was an olympic squat needs their IOC certificate revoked because without doubt that is not an olympic squat;

-Your bar position is to low

-which forces you to lean forward during descent and ascent

-which in turn prevents you from squatting deeper.

-you are breaking at the hips

- then pushing your hips back

- use your hips and back to drive up

it's pretty much an IFP powerlifter squat.

Sorry man, don't mean to be a dick because it's a good lift, just being honest

@ironnickel Whatever that means... An olympic squat is high bar placement, narrow stance, and full ROM (aka ATG) none of which you perform. And certainly not out of a custom made monolift.

@ironnickel He is right, too. ;/

@ironnickel I agree with him that it's not an OLY squat... its a powerlifting stance. GREAT squat though, man! Slow on decent.. perfect depth.
