 From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq | Been working on brining my stance in and getting a bit deeper lately. These ones look ok? p.s. sorry it's sideways - I suck at computers | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17903 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Those are fine CF. Slimmer people can go lower, but we aren't slimmer people. I have to say that belt looks like it could do with slackening off one notch. That looks tight as opposed to snug. I don't insist upon it, your call. | ||

Without wishing to be an arse, surely achievable depth is based on flexibility rather than weight? If you're sitting on your calves then fair enough, but you dont see many powerliters sitting on their calves, even the fat ones... | ||

 please use accurate taxonomy in our communication Member 871, 469 posts SQ 240, BP 137.5, DL 262.5640.0 kgs @ 89kgs Eq | PorkPie said:I'd try to go deeper if I was looking to get three whites in an IPF meet. It's difficult to be sure with your choice of attire, but from what is visible, I would be surprised if any of those squats would pass IPF muster, unless you have a funkily positioned hip crease. Plese don't shoot messenger etc. | ||

Do hugs, not drugs. Member 136, 712 posts SQ 380, BP 242.5, DL 330952.5 kgs @ 110kgs Eq | Have a looky at this vid from a few years back. Of particular note, watch the depth that was failed on Ignat Belausov's squat at 3:00 into the film. I would say that this failed squat is equally as low as that of the poster, hence the need to get a little lower. | ||

From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq | Thanks all  . Guess I still need to focus on getting a bit lower.Pete - I'll try the belt a notch looser; I seem to squat better with it really tight though.. next session I'll loosen it up and see what happens. Cheers | ||
