    What is your definition of ATG squats?

    Interested in this because of some threads I saw around lately.

    http://imgur.com/dW42le6 - this is more or less how deep I go on my squats. I'm not sure if you can call them ATG squats, but I try to go as deep as I can.
    Bench: 90kgx3 (176lbs) Max: 225lbs
    Deadlift: 130kgx5 (290lbs)
    Squat: Up to 250 on 5x5. 315 lbs max.

    Move your squat rack onto the lawn and next time you squat your azz should touch the grass, if not you're doing it wrong.

    But really, your depth looks good and it would pass in all federations.

    Lmao. Thanks man!

    Just asking if that kind of depth is what you would call ATG squats, or just low depth. (basically same shiet, but whatever)

    I do stretch quite a lot before squatting. Might try some yoga though. Thanks for the advice!

    For me it's as low as I possibly can go, and usually I start to really feel it my hips. Your squat looks like it has great depth, keep up the good work man!

    ATG is a relative term. How long ago was the grass cut?

    But srsly its as low as you can get your ass. Get better ankle flexibility or adjust stance to go deeper

    looks like your butt might be winking a little bit. try widening your stance and tighten up a bit. ATG doesn't literally mean ass to the grass it just means dont be a parallel squatting pussy
    I would post my stats but then everyone would see my squat stat crew
    its not like i don't train legs my squat just sucks crew
    now everyone is gonna ask about my squat crew
    my deadlift is kind of okay crew
    edit: jk don't ask about my deadlift either crew

    Don't go that low if you can't keep a neutral spine imo

    ATG is a horrible over used term that's not relevent. When are you ever squating on grass? That's why I squat DTF, dink to floor.

    But in all seriousness your depth is dependent on your leverages. Your depth is good if say correcting your position in the bottom is more important than more depth.
