    Default Squat Depth Check for USAPL

    Depth Check for USAPL - YouTube

    I know that this is, in general, good depth. However, I see all these posts about USAPL judges being very strict on depth and, in practice, red lighting a squat if depth is not obvious. Are these squats convincing enough to get unequivocal white lights for depth? If not, how much deeper? This is 330x5x3 on a medium day on HLM.

    It all depends on the eye of the judges you get. It will vary between meets.

    In your opinion, is it worth training at a lower depth than this?

    To be honest I haven't competed in 3 years so I'm not quite as familiar with how they are judging. These are barely below parallel. Maybe get an inch lower to be safe
