In Response To: Re: IPF legal depth detection (Ed Kutin)

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your inquiry. About a month ago, I referenced www.youtube.com/benching341 At this site you can see 3 different demo videos of the Squat Precision device. The " Seeing is Believing" video was intentionally calibrated to produce a LOUD BEEP, at a mere fraction above parallel. This is the exact same depth as Sam Byrd's 1050 pound squat at 198 pound bodyweight. I invite everyone reading this to do a youtube search for Sam Byrd - and review his 1050 pound lift. Quite impressive. Then visit www.youtube.com/benching341 and watch "Seeing is Believing" I think everyone will agree - " Seeing is Believing is as deep, or even deeper than Sam Byrd's effort. If you place the Squat Precision device high on the thigh, it will give you a LOUD BEEP a fraction below parallel. Now please go to www.youtube.com/benching341 and view " IPF Legal Depth " Im sure everyone will agree, these squats are substantially lower than the other video. You will also note on the video " IPF Legal " the device is positioned lower on the thigh. As a matter of fact, if you position the device even further down, approaching the top knee, you will then have to squat far below IPF legal depth to get the device to BEEP. Therefore, regardless of a lifter's federation - the device can be positioned on the lifter's leg to give them the exact position where they are a fraction under their legal depth !
