That was the best part of the DL. You either get it locked out, or you don't. No judgement needed.


Best of luck though!
You've got a point. But when I squat I use a normal empty cardboard box so when I touch the box I know that I've reached the required depth but the box isn't strong enough to hold me so I can't take a little rest or bounce of the box. I think it's a great of checking your depth.
