about what hes at is fine.
Asher Foster
At least parallel. AT LEAST.
Christian Nguyen
Lmao dude if you're ever going to stop being a tiny little skelly you gotta actually go low with you squats. You're always going to be a tiny little queer when you halfass your lifts bruh
Liam Jenkins
Try hard gym regulars all go way too low, the guy in OP is honestly getting just as good of a workout
Carson Robinson
And you are looking at injuries going too low, you are safe limiting it to OPs range of motion
Jose King
>skinny faggot
>tattoos
>hat on in gym
>doesn't squat to parallel
>locks knees
REEEEEEEEEEÈEE
Ryan Harris
You should be able to pick up quarters off the ground with your buttcheeks
Jose King
ATG
Daniel Clark

Nicholas Myers
HELLO DID YOU KNOW THAT I'M A VEGAN AND A LIBERAL?
Benjamin James

Noah Wilson
Suck dicks, the rest will just come.
Connor Kelly
As low as your anatomy allows you, without dropping your chest
Eli Mitchell

Jason Nguyen
Now hol up
You be saying people shouldn't lock knees in a squat? I see people do that all the time; isn't it required for the rep to be counted as successful in competitions and shiet?
Jason Diaz
If your ass isn't touching the ground, it's not low enough
Logan Miller
Hip joint below the knee. and not in the smith machine.
Joseph Barnes
This is a quarter squat, it's bad because the load will be on your knees because you're stopping short of going all the way down so that the weight can be transferred fully to your glutes/quads. If you do it like this your knees will hurt and you will get little to no glute development.
Adrian Hughes
Of course he is. That's why his legs are so huge.
Justin Harris
More like little to no anything development.

i've never wanted to bully someone so much in my life
Nicholas Lee
this kind of bait is especially dangerous because it seems believable to newbies
Liam Moore
Why bother lifting with a mess of a body like his?
Juan Adams
lookin thick, solid, tight bro
Lucas Peterson
why is this posted?
Noah Morgan
how could anyone be attracted to either of those people, especially the thing on the left, is something i will never understand.
Charles Morgan
what the fuck is this shit dude?
Isaac Collins
cheers for this
also:
is it okay that my knees go apart when I squat?
Robert Green
it's not just okay
its essential
if your knees collapse inwards you will injure your knees
Noah Lee
What about locking the knees? Is it important?
Benjamin Jenkins
t. still not low enough
Jace King

Joshua James
How low you go is usually the least of your problems when squatting
You go as low as you don't break your form
However most people already have broken forms from the beginning
John Gray
who is this THINN bitch
Nolan Turner
Is this low enough?
Carter Cox
so is there any valid reason for always going for only bellow 90°? I am always trying to go ATG bud sometimes i can't... Should I just deload and go ATG all the time or 90° is sufficient?
Nathan Adams
looks good
Parker Harris
>tfw touched the floor with my ass on PR squat

Varies. Obviously the shorter your ROM the more you can lift and the faster you can progress.
I have some scare tissue in my left knee from a car accident when I was really young. If I reverse the motion (start the concentric) anywhere other than a paused ATG I get a shitload of pain in it. But I've been lifting for 2.5 years now and can only squat lmao2pl8
Jacob Hernandez
So is locking the knees during squats good or not? Please respond
Connor Sanchez
Don't do it on heavy ass weight. Still, try to avoid locking your knees at any cost.
Owen Hall

Connor Cooper
any way to squat without hurting my wrists? if i go too wide it bends in a shitty way, and if i go too narrow the bar will be too high, and i just can't seem to find a middle ground.
Ryder Brown
I guess this diagram kind of explains my () issue if it's accurate
Bentley Watson
But don't they need to be locked to complete a rep?
Ian Moore
We have to go back.
Joshua Bennett
this image is bullshit.
>hamstrings must do a majority of the work to get back to "below 90"
this is completely wrong.
Real answer: just go as low as you can while keeping your back straight and tight.
For some people this might be a full deep squat, while for others it might even be above parallel.
Increase mobility by stretching glutes, adductors and quadriceps.

Sebastian Ortiz
no
your feet should be open outwards with a 20 deg angle
Josiah Morgan
no
depends on the person
Connor Walker
nope its dependent on many factors
Blake Taylor
Praising the ATG is fine and all, but ultimately how low you should go obviously depends on what kind of squat you're doing.
Oliver Cruz
What do you think boys ;^)
Camden Garcia

Nice meme
Isaiah Howard
HAHA! Chill out sweetie :D Do some yoga with me instead of lifting all those dangerous weights?
Connor Gray
lmao that's why you read the guidelines instead of going entirely off an illustration
>not everyone can go that deep
if my father who has 10 screws on his lower back and can't bend down to wash his own feet can squat way below parallel, then I'm willing to bet every normal person can
Cameron Ortiz
>what are different proportions
Samuel Martin
From what I remember, Rippetoe says thousands of people have come to his gym in the years it's been open and only 4 morbidly obese or very elderly people weren't able to squat on the first day.
