Fatter is better for squats. Your depth is okay considering you controlled the movement quite well (no bounce).
Squat 220 x 1
Could have gone a touch deeper I think.
Yes I know Im fat
no extra points for going deeper than you have to
Assuming you are training to compete in power lifting, arguably for general strength the greater rom could be an advantage?
Oh and a pretty easy 200kg trap bar derplift for me today
It feels like cheating
I think a few inches deeper is best, unless you're going for some record
Oni, your picture of the guy squatting is to legal depth. Not sure what you mean about going deeper?

Thanks Bams I didn't know we could "pop" a barbell in a lift? I have done that before but my butt "just" feathers the bench and it was lifting while pushing the bar back up.
I changed to flat foot not long ago, found I was more rigid(?) If that's the right word?
Squat form has gone AWOL....
No idea if it's relevant to anyone else, but yeah, I found that concentrating on that, full on, really helped me out with squatting. Controlled negative, then shooting up reeeaaal fast. When possible, heh.With the squat, perhaps try to control the descent a little more
