I'm not insulting here, just wondering ... if you realize they are high, why don't you bury them? Is it purposeful to target to upper quadricep?

Well yes, these are mainly a quad exercise but I wouldn't mind going a bit deeper. I'm just a couple weeks past due for a deload / cruise right now, and I wanted to cap off this offseason with some PR weights.

For "bodybuilding purposes" I find squatting like this fine, but I know in the powerlifting world many of the reps would have been considered high.

I find it a bit funny when people post big squat numbers and don't mention the fact that they were 4 inches above parallel, so I threw in the preface to mine.

 

[get it in ya]

half squats work half the leg. my friend squats just like you, very slow and powerful but stops a little short. they kinda are half squats but your very strong. nothing like the taste of blood in your mouth when you still got 5 reps to go

get it in ya

They dont look too high to me. Nice job.

Just seeing that amount of weight on someones back makes mine hurt.

Thanks guys.

These were the last sets of my workout, after having trained calves, hamstrings, and adductors.

I think after my deload I'll switch over to front squats for a while.

Are you going to use the front load you made? Did you end up on settling for that version or did you make another?

Yah, I'll use that harness. I don't think you saw the final version... here are some pics:

Looks great and should work REALLY well. I think when I was up there the one you had was orange.

In any event, it is an awesome piece
