Show of hands from everyone who squats below parallel and when they don’t get smashed at the bottom find just above parallel to be the hardest point…

My point is, that’s where the transition happens, and provided you actually come out of the hole, that’s where you’re probably always gonna get stuck with challenging weights.
I don’t think people will like this post. It doesn’t involve the use of box squats or bands. ;/
Yeah. Everybody knows that no one ever got a big squat without bands, chains, and boxes. Dumbass.
I didn’t say bands and a box squats wouldn’t help, far from it. Just that hanley’s point seemed to be the most valid when it came to the “sticking point” that every lifter on planet has when handling a certain poundage on any lift.
You can use bands and chains to get through it (no shit), but then you’re gonna add more weight, and find that you have this magical sticking point following you. It’s normal and its always gonna be there when you add more weight.

Classy answer considering the previous post. And you’ve picked up on exactly what I’m getting at.
But lets be honest, does it matter where you’re sticking point is if you can add 20lb to your squat?

My sarcasm wasn’t obvious?[/quote]
Normally I’m good at picking it up… I think you need to go more over the top for it to be REALLY obvious.

My 2 cents, If you have access I would try lifting off of pins. Place the pins at sticking point and place the bar with weight at pins. Then squat from pins. Pretty good workout builds the hips really well. Bud Jeffries was really big on these for awhile.
