    I think I need to work more on my squats to get them around parallel. I have some videos that show how bad I have them… 🙁 one day hopefully I’ll be able to catch up!

    I go ass to grass in training, but in a meet I just hit parallel. For me, it makes it feel much more easier and I feel like im only going half way down.

    Its always about speed. You want to generate as much force possible when you lift.

    One critical element, is how far the bar is down on the back> The lower the bar on the back, the more you will be HIP HIGH. The illusion of being deep. High bar squatters tend to squat deeper easier and are able to adjust depth more accurately.

    I actually can squat more when going atg because I’m able to bounce my hamstrings off my calves

    Is it possible that my calves pain (it seems like something strech them) is a consequency of squatting too deep?

    For some lifters ATG is actually easier.

    Me personally, I find going fast on the concentric portion of the squat will allow you to squat more weight. It allows you to use some stretch reflext and momentum that you just don’t get while doing a slow concentric. when you go super slow on a the concentric portion , its almost like a paused squat, and is uch harder

    “SLOW DOWN ECCENTRIC”
    Other powerlifting videos say “go down fast, but not to fast, because then you will lose control”.

    Any comments??

    I am pausing with pussy weight… wow, watching you pause with all that iron was awesome.  Is it bad to sit there deep in the hole for up to 10 seconds at a time? Gives me a serious burn and stretch, but I imagine the only reason it doesn’t break my L4&5 is because I’m doing such light weight.  The entire world vanishes when I’m down there…. I love it so

    Is it a good or bad idea t squat deep in off season for general strength and then switch to squatting to parallel in the contest prep phase?

    I get what your saying here. but half squats are for pussies. and if you squat deeper and atg. your actually stronger than a guy who half squats. and besides even if your at a meet. you’ll look like a fuckin champ going atg. and then you can see all the woman doing half reps
