^^ this.Well, if you're trying to compete in something the short answer is no you dont appear to be as your hip crease is well above your knees. If you aren't competing and dont have knee pain then there really is no such thing as "deep enough". With that said, in general, bigger ROM = more work = more hypertrophy stimulus on the muscle though, so there may be a reason to try and get to parallel or slightly beyond. ATG is unnecessary though imo.
Maybe aim for parallell?
[/QUOTE is that parre
i thought parraell was right at the safety rack? I go a little lower than that!Well, if you're trying to compete in something the short answer is no you dont appear to be as your hip crease is well above your knees.

I’m not trying to compete! Here is a better angle! I though parrell was when your gluetes go right pass that little grey bar! Is parrell the same thing as ass to grass?I dont know how low you usually squat. I just know what I'm seeing in that picture and it is not really even very close to parallel. What the hell do you mean parallel is right at the safety rack? Where the rack is at parallel is gonna depend on someones leg and torso length, it has absolutely nothing to do with your squat depth (maybe for YOU it does correspond to parallel, but for everyone...no).
Parallell is when ur glutes goes lower than your kneesI’m not trying to compete! Here is a better angle! I though parrell was when your gluetes go right pass that little grey bar! Is parrell the same thing as ass to grass?
Ok so am I still squatting correctly just in general? Just for genral strength and gains? That’s as low as i can go anyways!Parallell is when ur glutes goes lower than your knees
Yes just get super strong that's it.Ok so am I still squatting correctly just in general? Just for genral strength and gains? That’s as low as i can go anyways!

Yes just
If your asking if that's a legal squat. No it didn't look like it.
Do u touch your chest when u bench?.
But lots of people build sick ass legs squaring to the point where your stopping.
Ass to grass is literally how it sounds. But almost on the ground

Glutes lower than knee has nothing to do with it.Glutes look lower than knees to me.
Exactly what I said 16 posts ago lol, yet here we are going around and around in circles like a bunch of monkeys.The crease in your hips has to break the plane of your knees. That’s for a competition legal squat. If your trying to build size and you’re comfortable at the depth you’re going to you’re fine.
Take it easy Guy! It always good to get more than one opinion!Exactly what I said 16 posts ago lol, yet here we are going around and around in circles like a bunch of monkeys.

That guy said the depth I am squatting is good for mass it’s not a ego things it’s a flexibility issue a lot dudes at the gym say my form is great! Just wanna get multiple opinions.This^
OP....your crease HAS to break the plane to be performed correctly. It was already stated and it's way easier on your knees. It is also harder and you will have to use less weight of course. I know....that sucks...right...Don't worry, they will go back up. If it's an ego thing...nobody cares if you have a loaded bar and are doing the exercise incorrectly. People will be more impressed they see someone repping 315 ATG than someone with 405 doing half reps.
Many times on here we see somebody post a question, they ignore the right answer....even though they know it's the correct one. Then they wait to get enough people to say what they are doing is ok....then roll with it.
What we are telling you is the correct way to perform the exercise....we are here to help.
Partials are good for bicep mass too. Doesn't mean that I'm only going to do partials and skip full reps.That guy said the depth I am squatting is good for mass it’s not a ego things it’s a flexibility issue a lot dudes at the gym say my form is great! Just wanna get multiple opinions.
Well your not doing a real squat...some people stop 4 inches above there chest when they bench too. Its fine if your fine with it bot you cant claim u squat a number if it ain't low enough.That guy said the depth I am squatting is good for mass it’s not a ego things it’s a flexibility issue a lot dudes at the gym say my form is great! Just wanna get multiple opinions.
