Community Poll

Help us with a quick 3-question poll on squat depth. Standards can vary across federations and experience levels, so we thought it would be cool to compare how different people actually apply them.

Thanks for helping out!

For the easiest viewing and video scrubbing, a computer is recommended, but mobile works too. Reach out if you have any questions.

Refer to the image above for the next two questions.

Which numbered location best represents the “top of the knee” you use when judging squat depth?

Decimals are allowed if you are between numbers.
Ex: 6.75

Which numbered location best represents the “hip crease” you use when judging squat depth?

Decimals are allowed if you are between numbers.
Ex: 5.25

Scrub through the video slowly and identify the first moment you believe "depth" is reached. Enter the timestamp (to the exact hundredth) shown on the video timer-box.

Do not select the end of the video / deepest point of the squat unless that is also the first moment you believe depth is reached.

At what timestamp does this squat first meet "depth"?

Use decimal format to the nearest hundredth.
Ex 8.98
