Omar, I love your channel, BUT please ease off on the text on top of video thing, I can't listen to what you're saying and read whats on the screen and they're both important so I don't want to pause to read and lose the gist of what you're talking about. Please either pause while it's on-screen for us to read it, or read it out loud. Preferably the latter but I understand that's more effort and time for you. You are my fave channel rn though, I love how on-point your content always is. Peace.

1:56 3 years ago, bad depth….Still three white lights on the IPF stage, lol

Personally I don't compete, so I squat ATG knowing I can do more if I scrape parallel, but I don't care.

Depth and lockout would all depend on what you train for. If your goal is to hit a new pr in deadlifts then sure lockout, but if you are training to hit a new pr some time down the road you might not need to lock out. And this is me horribly trying to explain something from Eddie Halls tutorial in the deadlift

Did 180kg sumo deadlift, but only done 175kg regular. So guess my deadlift PR still is 175kg :p (f**k sumo)

1:40 your "bad depth" looks better than 90% or gym squatters lmao

I’ve only trained for about 16 months and in that time I’ve consistently gone back to fix something because I either lacked the knowledge or just understood what I finally did wrong. Been recording my main lifts and it’s scary how much you can fix by watching yourself, I don’t think anyone does that enough and assumptions are good enough for them. Then again we all train for various reasons, mine goes towards mainly people who want to make progress without cheating themselves but haven’t found a way to do so.

Not a PR more of a periodization. Reduced ROM (lower volume) for higher intensity or vice versa. Swapping time per rep for more reps to switch things up. Small scale periodization if you ask me.

I bet there are lots of pro competitors watching this video.

Cheating lifts is a technique that's completely acceptable when trying a new weight. The goal is to eventually get the form with that weight good, but sometimes you need to get accustomed to the weight or even just see how it feels.

I don't the high squatters. I feel waay too much stress on my knees if I squat high. Squatting low actually feels a lot more comfortable in my opinion.

😂😂😂How can this benefit anyone?
Here you are telling viewers that you need to set your own standards but have someone hold you accountable to their standards of depth, pause time etc?

If you want to build a movement with consistency implementation of box squats can eliminate the entirety of depth issues, posterior muscle imbalances etc, look it up.

Was this video inspired by those guys posting videos of their "progression" where the "before" lift was a shoulder width ATG raw squat and the "after" lift was a borderline sumo parallel-ish squat with sleeves and belt?

Based on everything I’ve researched..below parallel doesn’t provide any benefit or muscle growth compared to exact parallel.
