It feels great being able to squat that far down, and I would like to do it with weight with limited risk to injury. Thanks guys. |

I would be careful with your lower back, as you don't want to re-injure it. |

My form breaks down once i am well past parallel I have not squatted with weight yet, still rehabbing my lower body. I see improvement in the ROM every single day |

it happens sometimes when doing heavy squats .... that's why i use a spotter when i go so heavy just to feal confident ....

It was all caused by P-chain tightness |
