Excuse me for asking, but how low are you going on your squats? They seem leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of your lifts, leading me to believe you’re squatting significantly high.
If you had video, that would be even better.
Regardless of the depth, keep working hard.
I go parallel, I warm up by doing ATGs prior to my my squats.
I guess I have strong legs :D. Haha Im the opposite of most people, I enjoy legs but hate upperbody :eek:. I still do it and try to hit big numbers on upperbody.
