Except that the official rules used to define a parallel squat are EXACTLY the same. I don’t even give a shit about all of this, but the fact is the only difference between the IPF and IPA definition of a parallel squat is enforcement. They are already regularly ignoring the rules as written, so everything is already subjective and self defeating.[/quote]
You mean the IPA (generally) enforces the rules as written whereas certain other federations require lifters to go to much greater lengths to display proper depth.
