funny, what i perceive as parallel or slightly below parallel turns out to be well below parallel on video.

Interesting, my recent experiences are the same lately, i occasionaly feel i lost depth but video proves me wrong. But in the past it was the opposite, film always proved my depth to be higher than i thought. Maybe it has to do with the fact that you both were always deep squatters, while my style was ramp up the weight and do each set as deep as possible, so my constantly incosistent depth was ruining my perception? And now that i am doing full squats only for a long time it got fixed? Or maybe it has to do with form. I allowed much more lean in the past, so as the bar got heavier i guess i leaned instead of sitting deeper, so same bar height, different hips height. A little bit of both i guess. Heh, silly/useless analysis of the day...

For me, what tricks me in thinking that I'm not going deep enough is I feel flexiblity/mobility issues in my body and the lack of "cursive" movement, and THAT makes me think that I don't get deep enough. I feel like I load differently etc so I'm losing my depth awareness if you will.

vag · « **Reply #1945 on:** December 12, 2013, 01:37:47 pm »

^Thanks, i am having steady progress indeed. But i was coming from ~4 months of no lifting and i gained about 10kgs since i re-started, so it was rather expected. Plus my numbers are still weak. But i am pushing all time PRs on every lift currently so happy with that.

12 December 2013

Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : glutes and VMOs.
Injuries/aches : none

1,5 hour of full court basketball.
Endurance : Felt a little improved this time finally. However VMOs and glutes gave out on me after a while, not recovered from lifting both yesterday and the day before.
Jumps : Only 1 rim jump at the end ( exhausted ), got an embarrassing 10'2'' dropstep ( 27'' ).

Wave 3 :: Week 2 :: Day 3

BENCH ( 5/3/1 ):
3@52,5kg
3@60kg
8@67,5kg
-I had to do 9 reps to beat last week's 9@65kg PR since 8@67,5 gives slightly lower 1RM. Couldn't, 8th rep was too hard.
Still good though. Also being 0,5 kg lighter than last week gives a silly all time predicted 1RM/BW

HIGH BAR FULL SQUAT ( Light day ):
5@55kg
5@65kg
5@75kg
-Easy, 55 are actually REA squats, 65 and 75 speed squats.

HALF SQUATS:
3@90kg ( +5 kg )
3@100kg ( +5 kg )
3@110kg ( +5 kg )
-Tried to go a bit higher but not too high. Mechanics still off. Stronger although heavier loads though.

CHINUPS:
10@BW+5kg ( +1 rep ) , predicted 1RM

8@BW+5kg ( +1 rep )
6@BW+5kg
-10@BW+5kg is the most ive ever done but i was 3kg lighter back then.
-24 total reps ties the most I've done @BW+5kg and i was also 3kg lighter back then, so double

LANCE CALVE RAISES ( DL concentric, slow SL eccentric ):
10 each leg@40kg ( +5 kg )
10 each leg@40kg ( +5 kg )
10 each leg@40kg ( +5 kg )
-Very strong despite load increase.

ABS COASTER MACHINE:
20@BW+12,5kg front ( +2,5 kg )
20@BW+12,5kg left ( +2,5 kg )
20@BW+12,5kg right ( +2,5 kg )
-Reps 15 to 20 were damn hard. Still very strong.

So this is my depth at half squats the previous week:

I suppose this is too deep, i remember Lance saying that the ideal depth is a little lower than your RVJ plant depth.
So this week ( today ) i did them like this:

What do you guys think? Is this too high? Which depth should i use?

Raptor · « **Reply #1948 on:** December 14, 2013, 09:09:08 pm »

To me, the bottom ones look better and even that is "too low" for my liking. I guess I understand by the term "half squat" a "quarter squat".

ian459 · « **Reply #1949 on:** December 15, 2013, 01:42:16 am »

Hey vag, are these the half squats that you suggested me to do? What depth do you think I should do for most carryover into vertical?
