Joe -
The further down the leg ( approaching the knee ), you position/place, and cinch down the Squat Precision Device, the deeper one must squat to activate the loud BEEP. I greatly appreciate you bringing to the attention the exact definition of both: USAPL, and IPF's legal squat depth. I see many lifters in other Federations breaking parallel at the very slightest amount, and the judges award white lights ! If this device is cinched super high, as high into the groin area as possible ( like the video demonstrates ), you will get the BEEP at a mere fraction below parallel. For some Federations, lifters will love this. I give you, USAPL and IPF lifters 100% assurance, as you simply move the device further down your leg - approaching the knee, you will find that your squat will have to be deeper to achieve the devices BEEP. Since all lifters are not built exactly the same way, this device allows every individual lifter worldwide - USAPL and IPF the ability to descend to their exact depth which is considered to be a fraction below legal depth of their Federation, and simply calibrate the device by cinching down the strap to the exact location on THEIR leg, where the device is then activated, and produces the BEEP. I found this to be true when placing the device almost midway between the top of the knee and hip joint, versus the very top of the hip joint as noted in the video. This product will be advertised in Powerlifting USA in late April distribution, and I will make every effort to have TWO VIDEOS back to back at www.squatprecision.com. Video one - USAPL and IPF legal. The depth will be as you have stated. Video two will remain as the current video shows - beeping at a mere fraction below parallel. Again, I greatly appreciate your comments. My email address is markyates4242@cox.net and www.youtube.com/benching341
