Wide angle GoPro view of yesterdays 335x8 top end high bar back squat set (Make sure you click HD to get the full High Definition effect ;) Along with this post also comes a great reference article that includes a pretty cool squat assessment tool that allows you to adjust thigh length and see how body positioning is affected through a full range deep squat: athleticdesign.se/athletics/squat_article_1_english_page2.html To quote this article: When squatting shallowly, there is a tendency to get shallower as the weights increase, and thus deceive yourself that you are going heavier than you actually do. Have you really become stronger or have you merely changed the way you execute the lift? For better, consistent, optimal results and a reduction in lower back strains and knee injuries, squat to full depth and get those glutes and hips doing the brunt of the work :)
