I did some PowerSquats - clip

[coolcolj]

I did these back in 19th July after my full Oly squats as a backoff set and to try it out.

Surprisingly enough I could hit the same depth as my full olysquats
Actually I could go lower since, I wasn't rock bottom, I had couple of inches to spare.

Right click and save.

another day and another step towards improvement.

actually I did these several months ago like I said
Did em in my BBall shoes.

I don't have any problems doing it this way, because his is how I started squatting when I first started training, almost 2 years ago.

Either by accident or fluke, I just did em like that, without ever reading about anything on squatting or anyone telling me to do it this way
Although my stance was slightly narrower back then.
They used to hurt my hamstrings a lot from the excessive stretch, but they don't feel as bad now for some reason.

Shouldn't the bar be resting on your rear delts for this style? I am actually adapting to it myself, I've always had a pretty wide stand and sat back on the squat, now I'm getting accustomed to the lower bar placement.

yeah, but I think it's more a matter of taste, I prefer it on my traps becuase there is a nice shelf for it there

just more comfy for me.

One thing I noticed when squatting like this back then is that my quads didn't grow one bit
But after I switched to an Oly style squat, they blew up.
I did get up to about 225lbs for 5 reps before I switched over from memory.

after my current training cycle is over, I'll try them with heavier weights and see how it feels.
