Depth

why do you squat so much? you asked for that injury

>>39874192
get out

>>39874192
It's not much for my bodyweight at the time, 100kg/220lbs

I was always into powerlifting and 230kg @ 100kg is nothing noteworthy powerlifting wise

Are you still pulling?

Are you married to the idea of getting back into full depth squats?

What style did you squat before? Do you have any previous injury before the discs? Did you use any lifting gear? Tell is the story. You may be better off not squatting again since we have no info to work with.

>>39874179
you need to go under 90 degrees to get any gains

It was too much though. Obviously.

Anyway, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Don't force it. And as much as /fit/ would hate to admit it, quarter squatting works.

it's ok if you are contensting, but lifting that much just for your ego is not wise. I had herniated discs too, managed to fix it by myself. I don't bother to squat more then 2pl8 and my legs look nice.

I've started pulling again but only from the lowest pin setting, which is at the middle of the kneecap for me

I tried pulling from the ground but it aggravated my lumbar and I got bad sciatica/numb left leg.

I would like to be able to pull from the ground and squat to depth again but I'm also ready to accept it might not be wise to do so again

I used to squat high bar with a medium/narrow stance.
I had no previous injuries that I knew of
Raw, only sleeves and a belt
I used to buttwink to hit depth and catch a bounce at the bottom which is how I eventually injured myself

For reference this is what my bottom position used to look like

Not the best angle but you can probably still see the butt wink/lumbar flexion

You could probably stabilise your spine enough with rack pulls and box squats to eventually pull from the floor and squat to depth. Even better if you could find a way to progress your rack pulls. Listen to your body, nerve damage ain't nothing to fuck with.

If nothing else, you'll still experience strength gains with both.
