    Hi guys

    Squats have been feeling really good lately, especially since i bought some Hookgrip knee wraps. They really helped with the knee pain i had.

    But the past couple of workouts i feel like ive been cutting the depth, and im not sure if my squats are shallow, or if im being too self critical here.

    First set of 157 kg:

    Watched it right after the set and thought that they were a bit shallow, so i decided to just go for 3 reps for the 2. and 3. set and try to get better depth

    Second set of 157 kg:

    Thoughts?

    Your second set was much more acceptable. The reps for which the depth was questionable in the first set looked like a symptom of you not setting your knees properly, as in keeping them back too far.
