A 90 degree squat is achieved when a 90 degree angle is made at the knee joint. Because your tibia pushes forward when squatting, 90 degrees is achieved before your femur is parallel with the floor. A parallel squat is when your femur is parallel with the floor. The angle at your knee will be less than 90 degrees. Then you have a deep squat when your femur goes below parallel. None are wrong. It all comes down to why your squatting and what your mobility is like. Especially ankle flexion.
On what standards. . ? Its a great range of motion, around the average or more than what you would regularly see at a gym. If it would be green lighted at a tournament (which it would) why wouldnt they count in a parking lot 💀 u a math matetion? Archetect perhaps? 😅 I think he did great
Last week I did a challenge like this at my gym with a couple of other guys. Most reps with 225. I did 43, ass to the grass. I won, but just barely. Guy in second place did 42.
And then you backflipped out of the squat rack, all the yoga girls squealed with delight whilst you asked the prettiest one out for a date before skateboarding out of the gym whilst everyone clapped.
He's deep enough since you're counting his reps! That being said idc if you go parallel, a2g or slightly above parallel, aslong as you're properly loading your muscles your good to go. Didn't seem like this guy was properly loading his muscles though
Going to parallel or below parallel is much better for your knees. Stopping above parallel doesn’t utilize a proper range of motion and puts unnecessary stress on your knees.
@@jasondutton2531 nah, pressure on your quad tendons are the highest at the 90° angle and tension on pattelar tendon increases the lower you go. Parallel and below put alot more emphasis on the quads while slightly above puts more emphasis on hams and glutes. Depending on what muscle you want to target you can easily alter the excercise. Also biomechanics play a big role in the Squat. Femur & torso length (&overall body composition) and overall mobility (especially on ankles) play a big part when picking the Squat that suits you best. I do recommend everyone to somewhat train their legs in full range of motion, but i wouldn't necessarily say it's the best excercise for overloading your muscles for everyone. I'm not saying people should do quarter squats (maybe at most as a very specific accessory lift), but simply going 0-15% above parallel isn't suddenly destroying your Squat gains and can actually offer extra benefits compared to a2g Squats. People should just listen to their body and do whats best for them. The nowadays below parallel/a2g elitism tries to enforce a movement pattern on the general public that's not necessarily optimal for all of them.
Regarding taking the load off the back. This happens with me when i do squats. My lower back gets worked a lot as well. What can I do so that my lower back isn't involved much?
@@neelashpandita3989 squat barefoot, imagine in your head that you’re driving your hips up through the ceiling as you come up and really push with your legs and hips and don’t try to pull your body up with your back.
Nah not giving that to him it's like saying that's a good pushup when he literally barely got down. Or a Good bench when he just half repped it. A squats butt need to be below the knee and that definitely isn't below the knee. But good effort he did those like a good gym bro
“Now here’s the thing, I don’t actually have any money” and then he runs but can’t get caught cause he’s gassed from the squats.

His squat depth got higher and higher.
I wonder if he just calls the first person out or just stands in the parking till he likes someone.
He is an amazing man , trying to get everyone fit ,appreciate that.
He sounds like my old teacher in 9th grade for 7th period. He was the best.
This is crunch in simi!
Now that I’ve watched squat university looks like some ankle tightness and a bit of hinging. Just kidding looks good! Great work
Ledgend has it that not a single rep was done that day
I’m an atg guy….those were a far cry from all the way down
But Kudos for the gettin in there and giving it your all. Respect
Bring it to Florence, AL! Hometown love
Depth was way high....🙄
I did a squat! 🤪
A 90 degree squat is achieved when a 90 degree angle is made at the knee joint. Because your tibia pushes forward when squatting, 90 degrees is achieved before your femur is parallel with the floor.
A parallel squat is when your femur is parallel with the floor. The angle at your knee will be less than 90 degrees.
Then you have a deep squat when your femur goes below parallel.
None are wrong. It all comes down to why your squatting and what your mobility is like. Especially ankle flexion.
Do a video where you offer $100 for a true ATG squat. Full ROM.
"Ass to grass my ass"- that dude probably because there's money involved
Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. 😅 too nice with it.

the depth isnt great, but if he goes a little lower he looks like he could still get to 8 easy
My guy took the whole 60 bucks left 😂
More like 5 at 90degrees
Bro every rep was above parallel
He was not going low enough
Yeah he good
I mean it wasn't exactly parallel but it was still good
I wish I could do this just once.
lil shallow but he’s getting it
Need to go deeper
Ya his depth was good
no it wasn’t lmao
Yes it was lol
His depth was too high
@@jd0879 anything at or below parallel counts
You better have more than $80 for me man, 225 is LIGHTWEIGHT
I wish I could take part in this
i was watching his parallel the whole time i think its passable
I counted 0
Bro the knee at the start
I do 7 reps atg with 2 blown knees. I feel so weak but it’s my current limit sadly.
His knees were buckling on rep 1 and he was not low enough... but he racks his own weights so that's cool
The crease between legs and upper body should be parallel with the knees (ipf rules if I remember correctly)
Gym is his whole personality
Good work Jay :P
How about Zer0
He's above parallel
“Reps”
Definitely needs to go lower but that’s very respectable
I love how he just squats down right in front of that dudes ASS he knew what he was doing
90° seems do be a matter of opinion nowadays
12 No-Reps
Them kneeees
Now not exactly 90°
Imagine he just starts quarter squatting
He knew that depth was whack lol
He just slightly above parallel
He's always saying that shit
Sorry man, those were all high.
90 isn’t depth. Hip crease at or below your knee is
His knees buckled in with some of the reps :/
Below parallel my guy
People saying 90deg forget that the knee comes forward during the movement. However, he could have gone lower since he did those so easily
No one is this comment section has ever been to the gym, but apparently they are all PT’s.. 🤦♂️
Zero!
Powerlifter - depth??
Love he said 90 degrees but in other videos they don't get close
Me at the Pearly Gates
Jesus: Did you squat to depth?
Me: Yes of course…90 degrees
Jesus: *Spartan kicks me to hell for not squatting ATG
Me going what about 315?
Atg only, everything else is a compromise -
or powerlifting folk can work within the rules of the sport
A lot of his squats were 90 degrees.
Never even squatted one
This guy has his short shorts hemmed
I don't care about how deep u go. As long as your trying I'm good. GET SOME
Stability?
1, 1, 1, 1…

@@Trust1878 Yes, and there were also sad clowns from the late 1800s. Mark Twain was there too, so he can confirm that this story is true.
85 degree squats
Anything past 6 was not low enough. Close. But you gotta be picky when you are giving money away
Jay i heart you very much
Need to come to Athens Ga
Lost exactly his $60. Had he not revealed how much money he really had he would’ve pushed I can tell.
I know he squatted down to see those glutes, not form.
He didn’t do a single rep
He might do better with low bar while working on his mobility. I don't really know tho
higher than cheech my man..
I wouldn’t have given him a dime #nodepth
He's deep enough since you're counting his reps!

Last few were a little high but overall just need to fire the glutes more so you take the load off your low back 👌🏻

I see alot of knees rolling inwards
Glad I wasn’t the only one. Thought I was alone on that thought
i can only do 10 with 100 lbs 💀
that ain’t bad at all, we all start somewhere
I would not have paid him passed 7
Legit depth looked like shit to me. But I've always thought the top of the leg should pass 90 degrees, not the middle should touch 90 degrees.
Not bad for a high school kid. I agree though, audience will let him know depth is not quite there. Overall decent set though!
No reps after # 3
More than 12 reps
That isnt 90 degrees
90⁰ Swuat is actually for Thighs and not considered as full squat but it's hard than normal squat
Zero reps if it were in powerlifting rules .
