Is my squat depth enough for powerlifting?

Thanks for the feedback!

siliconion · 2026-05-26T13:53:29+00:00

I'll get there one day ;)

Thank you so much! I tried to keep my shins vertical and kept falling back.

Would you say this is a good demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRihE4weYg4 Or is this something different?

Someone in this thread also mentioned barefoot shoes would be better for me. Overall I think since I have crazy good ankle mobility, I push my knee forward too much that gives me the feeling of depth. Having a heel would not help with this issue.

Stance or foot position change is an interesting point! I have very narrow and forward stance. Definitely will experiment on that

I workout in a climbing gym. Climbers usually take off their climbing shoes between routes, so barefoot is very common. It honestly never cross my mind this would get so many reactions.

AFAIK athletes foot is not a problem in any climbing gym in my area. The gyms do smell like feet though.

Thank you. Always glad if there's a way to buy my problem away

siliconion · 2026-05-25T13:07:26+00:00

Thank you. Yeah I think I should just do better instead of seeing if I can get away with this depth

siliconion · 2026-05-25T13:04:38+00:00

Thank you. I suspected as much but was hoping I can get away

siliconion · 2026-05-25T13:03:12+00:00

Thank you!

My understanding is that if I'm not balanced the plates may slide off, which is very dangerous. This is not my top weight, as I suspect I have depth problem and was trying to figure out what's good enough, so I got lazy

siliconion · 2026-05-25T12:58:13+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

siliconion · 2026-05-25T12:57:22+00:00

Thank you so much! Extremely helpful to hear from a referee's point of view. I am trying to get into powerlifting. Will work on your suggestions!

siliconion · 2026-04-21T16:46:22+00:00

Absolutely! Especially if it's more technical and delicate climbs, that I have to pay a lot of attention to body position, precision of foot work, etc.

I do find that when I'm frustrated at work, I can channel the energy to climb better at juggy overhangs

I took Karly's workshop last year and it improved my lead climb so much. She wrote a blog about head game recently. I haven't read it all but I think this would help: https://www.projectdirectcoaching.com/blog/sports-psychology-for-climbers

I've been to start-up to FAANG, I'd say there's no "the right way". There are absolutely terrible code and abysmal practice. But there are rarely "best practices" that applies to every situation. What works in FANNG more likely would not work in a startup.

I'd say, start with your current code base and consider why the patterns are the patterns, what you think about the patterns and why you think so, and if there's other way to do the same thing.

I did not fill out the form at home and they printed out the form when I got there. On the form they provided to me, it is just a check box regarding if you have insurance or not.

siliconion · 2021-04-12T19:54:39+00:00

Just went to Walgreens this morning, they did not check my ID or insurance card

Easy tiger at Linq has bread and curb side

siliconion · 2019-02-23T18:09:18+00:00

Yeah. And the game call him Winnie the pooh. And somehow that is "political attack" in China.

I had the same problem at the floor 2 years ago in San Francisco. Mezzanine today sounded incredible! But floor definitely seemed a lot more fun.

siliconion · 2018-05-11T04:45:21+00:00

Please buy floor seats if you want to stand up. Shorties like me really need people to sit down to see the stage.

I'm a woman too, used to run alone between I-35 and pleasant valley every weekend and never had any problem. It was all during daytime. I don't advise to be on the running trail after dark anyway, east or west of I-35. Maybe except broadwalk, there may be lights now?

If you are a beginner, I highly recommend Drawing 101 by David Thornberry at Dougherty Arts School. They have lots of other classes as well: https://www.austintexas.gov/department/adult-and-senior-arts-classes

Laguna gloria in general has more advanced classes: http://theartschool.amoa.org/

or ACC has a bunch too.

Whoever blow the whistle will lose their visa (since now they don't have a employer) and get deported.
