IPF legal depth detection

Steve -
If you had a chance to view the " Seeing is Believing " video, I'm sure you would agree that the depth of squat is very similar to Sam Byrd's 1050 pound squat at 198 pound bodyweight. Just do a youtube search on Sam Byrd. "Seeing is Believing" demo was intentionally positioned high on the thigh to show all viewers that if you want to squat to Sam Byrds squat depth,,,,, Squat Precision can detect it. On the other hand, if a lifter wants to squat IPF or anywhere in between , this can also be detected. I realize you are a judge for IPF, and I certainly do not question your experienced view of IPF legal depth. What I am hoping to do, is show through these videos, that the Squat Precision device will in fact detect ANY federation's legal depth. Ultimately what EVERY IPF squatter should do if they struggle with IPF depth is bring this device to the next IPF meet, squat down and have the judges tell the squatter - " You are now a fraction below legal depth ". At this point the lifter could have his training partner cinch the strap. He / She could then stand up and take note where the device is positioned on the thigh. They then, from this point forward can practice each rep at what they know is legal depth. The device makes it much more easier on a lifter to reach their maximum single when they know exactly when to ascend. Lifters going for their overall greatest squat should not have to guess at depth. There are no extra points given for squatting too low. If you feel the video " IPF legal depth " has a few questionable reps, then the solution to that would be the lifter would simply lower the device an inch or so on his leg, and then it will take a slightly deeper squat to get the audio BEEP alert. This is what this product is all about Steve - helping squatters eliminate the guess work of depth, and focus on higher single max reps ! Thanks again for your comments - much appreciated.
