Parallele squat vs ATG squat ? There isnt much of a difference.

Half squat vs ATG squat ? well...

Get oly lifting shoes

I can hardly squat past parallele without shoes, but I go ATG with them. It's a must IMO

Yeah it's possible. The risk is higher during a heavy eccentric because....you are using heavier weight. If done properly tough, no big deal.

But why do you want to do this ? Just doing bicep...

That's not exact.

In the first minutes of exercising, the body releases nitric oxide, wich acts as a vasodilatator. It contributes to better oxygenation and stuff like that. When you start...

I would do the same

Very plausible

In a bulk, most of the weight is water weight...some is muscle and some is fat. A quick look in the mirror will tell you if you're getting fat. Anyway, in a bulk, gaining fat is...

Do you have knee pain when squatting ?

If not, disregard the video since the guy is giving a tip concerning knee pain when squatting.

If so, disregard the video and improve/tweak your form or...

Probably something like low blood pressure because of the effort

I'm pretty sure OP squat high because a few things dont add up. Namely :

- 210 kg ATG squat
- can do sets of 8-10 reps with 80 % 1RM

Overloading your CNS with 3 sets of squat ? lol, no, dont worry

Hithere has a really good point, though.

Squat 5x a week is harsh, it will take time to get used to it. It's normal to feel worn down after the first week. It works, though.

Quite interresting ! I like how you use auto-regualtion.

Have you been using something similar for a while ?

When have I said this ?

You're just changing the object of the argument here.

Your initial statement : "ATG is a good way to neglect your hamstrings."

No man, thats the thing. At a near maximal effort, the bicep will be fully recruited, even if it is in a disadvantageous position mechanically-wise (slackened). You have a common misconception. It's...
