Haha man since box squatting my ankle mobility has gone to shit. Well that and severe ankle injuries. My heavy squats are very similar to your pics (maybe a tad lower). But yesterday on my lighter squats for volume, my mobility's coming back already. Was hitting just above parallel with just wider than hip width stance. Either way, as you've harped on before, those squats seem more suited to being athletic anyway.

ya and it keeps my hip from feeling like shit, so i'll stick with it.. i felt a bit deeper than i was so that bugs me, but ill keep working on that ROM.. i was literally about to pass out, so i'm also happy that i even got 205 @ 3 x 5 feeling that crappy hah.. alot of people end up getting hip injuries when pushing deep squatting while doing alot of jumping/sprinting etc.. i mean i've seen it on a ton of forums, so it's something people need to be aware of.. but ya i like half squatting.

1.5 hours after the session i went to go drink soda & eat philly cheese steaks, i drank 4 pink lemonades, 1 diet pepsi, and 1 birch beer.. all in like a big 16+ ounce cup.. i was so dehydrated..

peace

Haha shit that's putting some liquid down man. Yea I've just started sprinting and doing lower body stuff with a lot less rest days than ever before and I woke up with an ache in my hip the other morning that went away after a couple hours gladly. Still a reminder that shit can happen.

Squatting like that would kill my wrists.

Yeah, why do you have your wrists folded like that and not rolled up to be straight with your forearms? Seems like you're putting way too much pressure on them, holding them under the bar like that.

How do waffle racers mess with your depth?

they force you into more dorsiflexion, picture an oly squat shoe, then picture the opposite of that (elevated forefoot instead of heel).

I see.

Your knees are far enough forward that you could squat deeper with no problem though.

dno, my calfs are rock solid in that position and my hamstrings are feeling very tight.. i can't really go any lower with that stance/bar placement/shoes.. i feel locked into position at that depth.

Pictures looking good for a half-squat! Only thing I don't understand is why you like your feet pointing forward vs. slightly out. Any particular reason for that?
