Additionally, your squatting depth is great for those widowmakers.

But, you're really making it hard on yourself with how much time you use with the bar on your back between reps. I used to pump out 10-12 reps before I had to start taking my rest between reps. It's hell on your lower back to keep the bar on you for over 3:30 seconds!

My advice is to try and pump out sets of 5 reps. By that I mean you want your legs to act as pistons banging out 5 deep reps with about a second of rest between reps.

Basically, do 5 perfect reps without standing up for more than a second or two. After 5 reps, take 2-3 deep breaths to clear your head, then proceed for 5 more. It's easier on the mind doing sets of 5 before earning a few seconds of reprieve to suck in some air.

Usually by 12-15 reps is when you start sucking wind standing up between every rep.

This method will allow you to go heavier and torch your legs instead of your back.
