Suited squats were all parallel, the suit really locks up at parallel, 265 and 290 stopped at the same spot, I basically pause squatted them all, really happy with the speed though. They were all very easy
good stuff evan, squats looked good just gotta break the suit in a little more. Had a question for you- i just got my do-win olympic shoes and i know you squat in similar shoes. do you have to alter your form any different because of the heel height? thanks bro
Hey Tony, thanks for the compliment. I don't find I have to alter form at all, if anything when I squat in a flat shoe I feel really off balance and just awkward. I'm not a wide squatter by any means, so that may have something to do with it. I'm right around shoulder width, toes turned out a lot

Yeah im about the same stance wise, raw im shoulder width and geared a little wider than that. i have been squatting in otomix hightops which have a slight heel but since i am mostly a quad squatter i figured id give olympic shoes a try. Thanks again
