So Did She Hit Depth IYHO?

I wanted to post this here because I can count on the SS community to look at things objectively AND have some understanding of squat mechanics.

A bit of a sh*tstrom started over on Reddit when NikkiGunz posted a 305x3 squat at 135lbs. Of course the first thing the trolls did was smash on her depth, which you can't really even determine because the cameraman took an awful angle (silly interns).

Furthermore, her coach was calling depth for her yelling up when she was low enough.

Here's the Reddit post with a link to the video so you can see for yourselves. http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comm...at_x_3_135lbs/

What do you think? Any other thoughts? I know her knees are coming too far forward, we need to work on sitting back more.

What is the "we"? Are you her coach, training partner, friend?

FWIW, I think her squat has been posted here before.

You can't tell if she hit depth from this video.

ETA- her squats look good.

We as in she, me and her new head coach. Yeah, she's posted a video of 305x1 and 315 for a high single.
