SQUATS video

[GymLift]

say, am I going down deep? this is me and the bars are not touching the support grills at all. taken from the vid. can't upload the vid..too big. thanks

That's great, but we forgot to mention something: after you go that deep, you are actually supposed to push it all the way back up. Yeah, I know, we said "squat" not "squat and then push it back up." Sorry 'bout that, but it really is essential.

hey angry, how much weight was on that bar??? # of reps???

 

[AngryMuscles]

would ya believe me if I told you it's 300? kidding!!!
was doing 110 then..last rep of 5..
I know my no. isn't anything compared to anyone here..but it's a very big improvement for me..^-^
not ot mention the form.
I got way too used doing squats on smith machines on my old gym(really felt like leaning way too much forward and cheating a lot too...so i'm still getting used to power rack squats.

 

[AngryMuscles]

and yes, going deep really puts plates back to the plate racks. decreased poundage by 60 since going deep, but I'm slowly gaining back. max is 132x5

you doing the right thing angry. hats off to ya. you can always work just below parallel off of boxes for a change. the pic is prolly 8" below parallel just for a reference point.

p-big, is there some kind of streching routine or something that helped you when you started doing deep squats?

I can only go a couple inches below parrallel then I feel a twinge in my groin and I am wondering if streching would help this?

Now you've given me a horrible image in my head of somebody doing deep squats, only to rip their grown open and loose their intestines.

Damn I must be sleepy. The nightmares are starting already.

bout shoulder width stance

i thoguth your knees weren't supposed to go past your toes? when you go that deep your knees wil most definately go way past your toes.

Here is a clip of some deep squatting for your pleasure, the text afterwards is kind of stupid however.
