Awww sh1t man that's a tough call to make. I've had it paused at the lowest point now for like 5 mins just staring over my sandwich.at it. I'd have to say you're about an inch too high for me to be able to say you broke parallel.
It's close though but I'm trying to be as ruthless as a judge would be in competition. I reckon it would get 2 reds if done in comp (it would prob look good front on).
In these cases I reckon myself or Hanley should be able to throw it over for the others opinion and if it differs a third voice can make the deciding call. Someone like Podge, Malteaser, G'em etc.
Whad'ya reckon Hanley?
I hate doing this, but I'm gonna have to agree. Literally 1-2 inches woulda got it for me.
I'm after staring at it for ages too... even took it to paint to make sure I was right!!
It's hard to see, but the yellow line is where I'd place parallel (right at the top of your knee), and the red dot on your shorts (which I shoulda made more visible) is where I'd say your hip joint is. If that got to the yellow line I'd have given it!0 -

You are my squatting nemesis. The reason I was aiming for 115kg at 75kg bodyweight was cos it would edge me ahead of you by about 0.000000000000001 in the WILKS table

If it makes you feel any better, the only reason i didn't put my 80kg video up was because I didn't want to have to make Hanley and Kev have a big debate over whether it was in or not and then have to put up with the pair of them the next day in training if they said it wasn't (or, as the case may be, Hanley having to deal with me five minutes after he gave me a thumbs down!!)

I'm gutted that 75kg wasn't your max! :mad:Say bye bye to your pullups record this weekend Boss.
Good luck accensi0n :pac:0 -
I do a bit of photoshopping in work, which involves estimating dimensions of photos taken in perspective.
If you look at Hanleys line, it is straight across, while the camera seems tilted (not saying on purpose Bossarky!), if you look at the metal bars above and below the yellow line they are both angled downwards.
A quick way to check stuff without resorting to paint, is to adjust your window size, click on the icon next to the X in the upper right corner. Now adjust your window box size (click, hold and drag the lower right of the browser window) so the lower border in the browser will form the line for you. It will also show other reference lines, like the bars etc. When you get higher in the picture the bars across the roof are angling the other way as the perspective skews the other way.
I do squats with weight on a dip belt and a bar cleaned up and pressed onto my back. I first adjust my dip belt so the weight just tips the ground when I am past parallel, so when I squat this is my signal that I am low enough.0 -

Good point actually. If that's the case then the squat would probably appear slightly higher than it did already?
So BA, whatcha gotta do to out wilks malteaser???0 -

First off I'm going to drop to at least 75kg bodyweight and keep that as my max weight going forwards. I'm half contemplating some kind of squat specialization for a month before getting in to Westside! Maybe Westside will help if I just hammer the squat and leave deadlifts out for a while.
Kinda annoying 'cos I've spent lots of time in the last year or two on lower body stuff (squats / deadlift) but it is still lagging behind.0 -
