If you are getting a bunch of dudes in a room, and trying to figure out who is the strongest, do you need some sort of standardized rules and judges. It seems at least in powerlifting,  the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153rule\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 is that your hips or knees or whatever must be at \u00e2\u20ac\u0153parallel\u00e2\u20ac\u0153. But who judges this? The judges. However, I am certain when you get a bunch of beefy dudes trying to squat over 1000 pounds, everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s definition of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153parallel\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='1180' height='664' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/BEgybPeP?cover=1&amp;autoPlay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ferickimphotography.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F11%2Fhow-i-squat-ass-to-grass-ggopro-eric-kim-workout-pov-1_mp4_std.original.jpg&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/21\/how-i-squat-ass-to-grass-gopro-eric-kim-workout-pov\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"453126\">Ass to Grass Squats GOPRO POV<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the goal to just get stronger, or to maximize your leg muscular growth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently speaking, my thighs are out of control.
