Nice squatting today. I modified my chucks by taking an old set of insoles that matched the same shape of the chuck’s insoles and cut them in half and inserted them under the chuck’s insoles so I could add about 1/4″ of padding to the heel. I wasn’t sure if they would help me get deeper, but they sure did. I kept hitting the safety bars, which were set at the same height I always put them at. I moved them down to the next hole (about 1.5″ lower) and I ended up grazing them a few times. I would say with the shoe mod I was getting around 3″ lower, and I felt more comfortable in the hole. I was feeling lazy towards loading up the leg press, so I did my first 3 sets with one leg, then did my last couple going super deep, bottoming out the machine, with nice slow reps. I think these worked my quads better than the really heavy normal-rom sets do.
