i can see what jon is saying, i use the 'rebound' technique to my advantage too. when i force myself to stop higher (cutting depth) i don't seem to be as explosive from the bottom.
i think this is more applicable to high bar olympic squats.
I'm taught this in low bar squatting. Smooth descent, then punch/drop fast into the hole and bounce out of it.
Oliver: deep for me means the crease of the hips is at least a good inch or more below the top of the knees. Back of legs parallel with knees is shallow squatting, that'd be 2 inches above parallel with my body/leverage.
What i meant is in comps do you have to pause at the bottom most point in squats? Same with bench do you have to pause when the bar touches yr chest for the lift to count?
Happy days if it doesn't as I can lift far more without a pause and using the bounce so to speak.
What can i do if my butt tucks in slightly near the end of the squat. Stretches? how long ect? what stretch? Sorry if someone has posted this before, i must have missed it.
