S:385lbs B:285lbs D:415lbs =1085lbs
Weight: 182
Height: 5'11
Ratio: 5.96

I've been having a really hard time getting my bench up. I have been benching the same weight for over a year. I've tried the Dave Tate 6 week bench press cure, but still am having trouble getting my form right.

As for goals:

Squat- I 'd like to be able to 405lbs for 5 reps.

Bench- I would like to be able to rep 225lbs for 20 reps. Whatever max that brings me to is fine.

Deadlift- Pulling 500lbs without much of a struggle

Awesome lifts! I've been hearing a lot of trash talk about the SPF lately, specifically high squatting. As a SPF competitor what is your take on it? Personally I couldn't careless about 2" of ROM.

thanks

when i squat i believe in squatting to the rule book depth, of hip joint parallel to your knee, though i usually over shoot it. some of those spf squats did look high, but i just worry about myself.
When i did the 550 in the last pro/am i have no idea how deep i actually went (no video of it) I had somebody call my depth when i hit parallel and then i went up, i really was just worried about keeping my air in me and not passing out, as i was getting squeezed pretty bad the deeper i went.
for comparison this is how deep i squat raw (my 468lbs at 165), but this was at a NASA competition sorry for the blurry camera didnt want to focus.

Your squat looks to be a very legitimate depth to me. That's why I wanted your perspective. I was trying to figure out if it was just forum hate or not.

i think its forum hate, ever fed has their faults, ive seen plenty lifts that should pass get turned down in the ipf, seen some people weigh over their weight class, then set world records in that weight class, and in the same meet have people get their records rejected because the IPF said they didnt fill out the form right.
lot of feds having to strict of to loose judging so i just worry about my self and shrug it off if a lift gets turned down.
