    I can't believe you'd come in here bragging about your depth privilege.

    i dont know if i should take this seriously or lol..... i think hamstrings parallel to floor is the minimum depth anyone should have for a legit squat. as for the ATG squats, i use to be able to get there, but not so much any more... 2 very bad ankle injuries when i was younger are finally taking their toll on me as i get older.

    Chill. It was a joke.

    Some things just aren't funny man. I've never been red lighted on a squat, but I realized I'm blessed to have joint angles that conform to societies' standards. I'd never go into a power lifting forum and flaunt it. #allsquatsarebeautiful

    Because of years of powerlifting and doing few mobility and flexibility movements, I became rather tight and had horrible hips, knees, and ankles. Instead of accepting it, I did something about it. Saying that a half squat is 'beautiful' doesn't cut it with me. In competition, hit depth or it's a red light. Period. Instead of accepting the fact that hip/knee/ankle mobility sucks, go work to change it or continue to suck.

    My. $0.02...

    ^^ truth

    The article was a dig at some of the BS judging calls seen in equipped meets. I hear some of the big names put some pressure on judges. Dodgy.

    I'm pretty sure the entire thing was meant tongue in cheek. Having been red lighted on my fair share of squats I find it is funny.

    I know this is a super old post, but I was browsing IG today and saw this chick who got an American record for this squat.

    Hopefully it's federation only which is still ridiculous, but slightly less so.
