## Caption

I have been doing heavy (600-900lbs) box📦 squats for power💥 but there’s nothing like getting under 5️⃣2️⃣5️⃣pounds (55 pound thick squat bar, 10 - 4️⃣5️⃣plates or 5 plates per side, and a 10 pound plate per side) below parallel.
Today’s workout focus was pure strength🦍training‼️
Now, everyone keeps asking me about squat depth advice and what is “mandatory depth”. I say as🍑s💩to grass🌿(because some lack the flexibility of it) is not mandatory and for heavy loads it’s not smart for your joints and ligaments - although you can.
My squat form recommendation for combat sports athletes is to squat heavy to the 90 degrees knee joint angle 📐, which is to squat to right above parallel.
Today, I went deeper than mandatory for athletes, as I hit below parallel and squatted well below the 90 degrees knee joint angle 📐.
In powerlifting and cross fit, adequate depth is defined as having the top of the hip crease below the knee crease.
Again, I normally squat heavy with my hip crease right at or right above the knee crease.  This is still around parallel but would not count for powerlifting.
Remember🧐 wrestlers, mma👊 fighters, and other combat sports athletes we train to be functional - not to be powerlifters or body builders.
