I have an opinion question. I was doing powerlifting style squats where I would squat down until My thighs where just below parallel or parallel. I could usually tell by how my stomach would sink into my inner thighs. One day I had an older powerlifter coach me. He was into super low squats. I was stoked and did 6 reps with my usual weight almost rock bottom. After words my upper quads near the outside ached. It messed me up so bad I had to lay off squats for a month and a half. My outer hip area ached and ached for awhile. I am making a comeback now. I have decided instead of being a cryer I would just lower the weight back to 405 and sink down as low as I can Olympic squat style. I am curious what is everyones opinion on Parallel Power squats Vs Rock Bottom Olympic squats?
Thanks. Sleeper
