Legal squats.

Would you consider this squat legal?

Here's another video, I'm squatting 225 for reps in this one:

I would but that's cutting it very close.

[SA249]

I would give those white lights.

Yes they hit the mark. An extra inch would clear up any controversial calls but you are there.

[Ralph0905]

Thanks to all, I'm trying to work up to a respectable level of strength before going to my first meet and wanted to make sure I was hitting depth.

[Jason2459]

Didn't watch the second video. First could have gotten reds.

[Jason2459]

You seem to pitch forward as well. Keep that bar path straight. That would help sink it just that tiny bit more.

And don't worry about respectable weight. Go do that meet. No one will care if you're squatting less then an 80 year old. I know first hand.

I wouldn't squat any deeper unless youve got ipf depth nazi judges on meet day.

[Ralph0905]

I think the second video is breaking parallel, and the first is borderline breaking it, so it would most likely be OK but maybe not in IPF. I'll work on consistently getting that extra inch or 2.

I also think its good, but the angle is poor. Judges usually crouch down to hip level when looking at hips/knees, they don't look from the floor like your video is taken from.

looks good

[EUGuy]

looks good to me...btw nice shoes, i have the same one !

It looks good but as mentioned on the border.
I would next time you video get a tripod and set your camera at the level a judge would be sitting in a chair.
It may be a better look and more what a judge sees on a squat.

This, camera angle makes it look higher than it is.

And you're in Hella extension, your abs can't brace like that, which is why your glutes aren't doing anything.

Thanks to all who replied !
