There’s not really any one fed. Bad calls happen everywhere.

…I once saw a video in youtube. It was a PL meet in IPF. I COULD’VE SWORN the guy squatted to parallel, I rewinded it 10 times, reviewed the rules of the fed, and it seemed to me that the guy hit depth… Knees and hips aligned to parallel… And yet, he got 3 red lights.
That right there, is what I call a bad call…
I also think that some of Vogehlpol’s squat were high… Even his new world record. If I was the judge, I wouldn’t pass it.
Quick Question!
I WANNA MAKE MY OWN PL FED! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?!?!?!

Why does it matter? You got a hella squat you can put up if you can get away with cutting it an inch high? Otherwise, you’re just talking shit.
Look- here’s how it goes. You show up, you lift, you lift according to the rules, sometimes you get a lift turned down that should have passed and sometimes you get a lift passed that should have been turned down. Either way, you walk back to the scoring table and give the girl your next attempt.
The laying on your back example is just a way to let people who believe they are not flexible to get in the position that they are indeed flexible enough.
Sure, some people have biomechanical disadvantages that cause problems but I’m a believer that everyone can go at least slightly below parallel AKA deep. No need to go ATG of corse if your breaking parallel but I hear too many excuses. I’ve heard “I can’t do that, I’m built differently than you”, “look at that big guy over there, he isn’t going deep”, “My ____ hurts if I go any lower.” All of those people eventually ended up going deep.

Everybody can squat deep. If they don’t believe you, tell them to lay on their back and bring their knees in. VAWALLA an ATG squat. I’ve done this for friends who claimed that it wasn’t possible. Compliments of Mark Rippetoe.[/quote]
You know, never mind the fact that doing this rounds the lumbar spine…

WTF? You’re NOT flexible enough if it causes you to round your back tho. THat’s the points. Amongst other things.

I actually cant squat deep and it irritates me that I cant, its due to radionecrosis of my right thigh from radiation therapy, my quads are all tight and crap now and it sucks
I’d be more concerned over what that shit did to your face than to your quads.[/quote]
LOL!! vicious!

Of course you keep your back straight. Who exactly are we talking about not being flexible enough to squat deep? The 53 year old guy who blew out his back?

…No… It’s the dude who has tight hamstrings.
There’s actually alot of them. I don’t think it’s that uncommon.
Squatting deep requires good ankle, quad, and hamstring flexibility. Work on overhead squats daily, stretch the mentioned muscle groups(especially the soleus muscle out) everyday until your flexibility improves. Doing it a couple times a day is great way to increase flexibility faster(think of greasing the groove from Pavel for this method).
In all honesty, every squat should be to the individuals full depth assuming there is no contraindications. Anyone that squats higher than below parallel is using a really wide stance, has an extreme knee injury, or is a quarter squatter claiming a 500lb squat. Youtube is a great place to find those idiots who claim huge squat #'s yet move 2 inches and rack it. Squat the full range of motion or go home!!!
squat til you think its really hard…then go a little lower., just to make sure

Agreed… And you are the epitome of an ATG squatter judging from your avatar. Nice job.
i seen a guy fall over while squating the other day i was glad because he’s one a them bench and curl everyday kinda guys id say it was his first time squating…and his last lol
Squatting ATG is for suckers.

If you want to be a power lifter squat like one. The goal of many powerlifting techniques is to minimize the range of motion a person must travel with a weight. But for a person wanting to get stronger for athletics the goal should be to squat as deep as possible.
I love the false dichotomy.
Squat low bar, powerlifting legal depth and high bar ATG. Do them both in your training. And throw in some quarter squats too for overload.
For some reason, people think you can only ever squat 1 way for your entire life.
I was a caddy all summer and golf can eat a dick. Bunch of snobby, old, pretentious assholes.
And being a caddy, I was able to hear how these old men speak with one another in “private” (they kind of pretend you’re not there sometimes). And they are some dirty, hateful motherfuckers.
fuck golf
