ATG really is ATG. They’re not kidding. You might want to look for some of the videos here on TNation. They’ve got them for all different exercises.

Damn. Renee’s looking all foxed up in her new profile shot.
The squat look alright. If your form really sucks, you’ll know, because you’ll miss the weight.

After 12 frustrated sleepless hours here is my train wreck attempt at the videos I tried to get last night.
I think at this point I’m pretty disgusted with myself and I’m nauseous, beaten, and exhausted.
I’m going to sleep for a while, and hope next week I can start to get my shit squatting resolved.

Now ALL of those were good legit squats. You should have posted those up instead! Sorry for the rude comment. Keep up the good work!
Infinity,
I still have a bit of a feisty grudge against you for thinking you could critique a Canadian PowerLifting champion’s squat form. But you apologized, so I’ll chill. Aside from that, if you find that you can’t do Ass to the Grass, I’m pretty sure that’s ok. I can’t go that far. I broke my ankles a couple times in the USMC, and I have a limited range of motion. My ankles like 90 degrees. They DO Not like flexing forward. If I try to do ATG, I feel like I’m gonna fall over and/or break my ankles again. That’s just me, though. So I do jump squats, and parallel squats, and walking lunges (which my ankles still Hate Bigtime).
It’s what works for you. Motivation is key. Hit it hard, be strong, eat good protein, and pay respect to da ladies! LOL - <kidding ya!>
I haven’t got it all figured out yet. But it helps for me if I put 2.5 lb “biscuit” plates behind my heels. I get a lot better range of motion. (Eeeeks - didn’t you just thrash on somebody for wearing competition heeled lifting shoes? Aww… guess what - same as Renee using biscuit plates to increase my range of motion.)
Go eat some eggs.
;o) Smile 4 me.
