Yeah definitely... I remember when I squatted 352 and during the rep I was thinking "why the hell am I squatting so slowly on the descent?".

It's just that you feel if you descend any faster you won't be able to control the form on the rep (in my case at least). It's a surefire sign that the weight is pretty much @ 1RM.

The eccentric on the 360 was very slow... I think that took a lot out of him... that was the first thing that made me think "he's not going to make it". Granted, I already saw the video title but still.

There's so much to write about what Avishek said... but long story short - if you lack in muscle mass and in the power that muscle mass would give you (improving your relative strength) then you need to squat deep because that's the best muscle builder. You don't squat deep for specificity purposes,  you're just building a bigger engine.

When you do that you're obviously masking any explosiveness you've gained through the squat induced fatigue. You don't need to be a genius to figure that out.

And when you stop squatting you're basically eliminating that squatting fatigue and then you say "wow I don't squat and look how powerful I am now!" when in fact you're powerful because of the gains you made with the squat in the past, that are now displaying without that fatigue.

And since you're not squatting you're obviously going to lose squatting movement efficiency and then you're going to say "my squat has gone lower yet look at how much more explosive I am now, so then it must mean squatting was bad for my power".

Just use your brain a bit.

Have you tried in the SVJ to get your arms back, not just "under" you? And if you get your arms back, try turning the thumbs towards the sky (internally rotate). Then try the SVJ again and see how it feels.

I hope that sign in the back is true...

It's the Avishek deadlift, but he did it with a depth drop as well.

Well a silly PR is still a PR which is still progress, and that's what we care about.

wouldn't mind a map or a legend to what's photographed there. Is that kingfisher's knee or muscles??

thats where a 40" SVJ comes from.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Respeck. If you ever wanna try your hand at internet coaching im putting my hands up as a keen volunteer. Would love to have VMO's like that, i didnt' even know such a muscle existed lol :P

That's more a function of Kingfish's awesome dorsiflexion ability.
