I'm still not sure I hit parallel with many of these reps...but I am getting closer and under more control. I plan to do something similar to this every week...

I can tell that I am still leaning too far fwd AND I am not taking the bar low enough on my back. I also can not grip out wide YET...but should have that fixed by next week!!!

405 1

2

495

545

Very nice!

 

[Scotsman]

Good work. The only one that looks suspect for parallel is 405 #2

congrats man...glad to see that your knee is healing up nice and quick.

 

[ffknight84]

i agree with scotsman, but it looks pretty dam close to me.

still a hell of a job tho =)

 

[b fold the truth]

Thanks...

So you are saying that the 2nd rep with 405 looked deep enough?

I always thought that the top of hip crease had to be inline with the top of the knee to be called parallel as far as powerlifting goes

Judging from the pics, your about an inch or two off that

I feel the same way. I am still having confidence, bar placement, and stance issues. All of these are hurting my depth I do believe.

I'll get there though...it only takes time.

The new rack is nice and big. . .something to accomodate your large body type lol. . . .

what did you do with the other cage?

 

[Scotsman]

No I was saying that 405 #2 was the only one that looked shallow. The rest are very close hard to tell without a clear view of you hip line.

The monster has re awoken. It will be a very scary day indeed when all the pieces come together again. I can see it looming slowly. Coming soon

B-Fold,

From the looks of your squat, I would say that going heavier seems to help. To me it looks like you go a little deeper when you do so. To me the first set with 405 looked a little shallow. However, I am not a certified powerlifting judge. Don't worry, all good things require time.

Good to see things moving well, had my competition and training partner have his knee scoped last week and I hate to see surgery on people. You try box squatting as a form of rehab instead of free squatting ( I mean heavily)?

Not sure what you mean....what would you suggest?

The problem is in my hamstring (as well as mentally) right now...

I think he means for you to do heavy box squats instead of heavy free squats.

 

[DBCooper]

I meant working up to a heavy single on a box intsead of free squatting to a heavy max, but your right the mental side is the hardest part to go through. You could always focus on conditioning a little longer to insure a full recovery-that will help mentally also-before working back into heavy stuff. Strength takes alot longer to diminish than conditioning.

I'll give that a go on Wednesday...
