Squat depth progression over the last seven weeks
Here is what I was working with on depth. I have ten-pound plates under my heels.
I also began to wear weight lifting shoes made by Adidas:Adidas Power Perfect II Weightlifting Shoes. The heels on these are not too aggressive. And closer. Seven weeks down, I still have a couple of flaws to hammer out. I can improve upon keeping my upper back locked in, and not loosening my grip of the bar while in the bottom. These little things will make the biggest difference! My goal is to squat 700 pounds in a belt before I add lifting gear back in. This could change, but I think it will be a great indicator of where my strength is before preparing for the XPC in March. Wish me luck, and see you on the platform soon!
