to the bodybuilders on here with squatting
why do bodybuilders not squat below parallel, i heard its due to more glute development which I would understand but some bodybuilders train squat deep and their glutes are fine (due to genetics)

which bodybuilders here believe in deep squatting ?

Re: to the bodybuilders on here with squatting
me! although after repeated lumbar injury have had to give up squatting,going below parallel gives stimulation to glutes but always felt it was a better exercise when squatting deep,although my mate who was top sprinter only did what we would call half squats and his legs were huge

Re: to the bodybuilders on here with squatting
Squatting is not a leg isolation exercise.

Deadlift is not a back isolation exercise.

Go deep, if you cant you need to take some weight off.

Re: to the bodybuilders on here with squatting
well, if you think your hams and glutes need more stimulation (or just want big, nice round a$$) than they get from deads (and sldl?), by all means squat atg deep...

my personal combo is:
on back day all-out max effort on low rep deads
on leg day med rep parallel squat (or high rep near parallel, but since i dont want my legs to grow atm, cant really say which works better, i had good results with low-med rep parallel tho) + low rep sldl

Re: to the bodybuilders on here with squatting
Going parellel is putting more stress and strain on your joints than going ass to grass.

Get down there 'til your ass touches your ankles.

Re: to the bodybuilders on here with squatting
nope, thats term confusion, parallel != 90deg knee flexion, depending on stance width its 110 to 140deg flexion

another point, if you let your ass touch yer ankles/calves it will momentary deload knee tendons, leaving it unstable (and vulnerable)

Re: to the bodybuilders on here with squatting
I am of the thinking that you should go just below parallel.

But that it only because I train for strength not muscle, even though one is a by product of the other

Re: to the bodybuilders on here with squatting
You can find many who support both sides in terms of recruitment Vs injury

End of the day, find the way your body flows and follow its ergonmic design with one eye on previous niggles

I go fairly deep but...

After the wifes arm it wouldnt even get close to making an impression. Talking of cocks in squat racks....quite a nice feeling not to have to put up with the bicep boys at the local gym after training at home for a while

Like LS said, it's an individual thing. I was just stating my opinion to be fair.

Some, in fact most of the strongest squatters in Britain/world squat ass to grass.

I've trained with Dai (Porky Pie) who is one of the country's most respectable lifters and he certainly doesn't go parellel. Ass to grass for him and the guys squatting 340kg plus.
