How Many People Do You Know That Can Actually Squat Properly???

[PolishHammer1977]

I don't believe you need to go ass to the floor to be doing squats right. Most people, when they squat really low, tend to make it 2 movements, one they reaise there hips up( Putting the back in a bad position) and then 2 rising up with the shoulders.
I squat to about 2-3 inches from paralell, but I am 6'3" and dropping too much lower is impractical, as it is I probably have a greater range of motion , then 98% of you reading this.

I am part of the 2%

I agree!! I am not powerlifting, but I can still build good quads and hip strength squatting to near parallel. With long legs and a short upper body, squatting is taxing and I am forced to find something that works for my structure.

I've got a very, very short upper body compared to my legs. I find squatting one of the more difficult exercises for my body structure. Its always going to be a weak link for me, but I'm bitch-slapping it as much as possible to improve.

My girlfriend has an incredibly long upper body and short legs. She can squat deeper than anybody I've ever seen, with very little effort. The bottom of her squat is amazing.
