i took squats out of my leg days for a while and i want to get back to squatting but i cannot hit depth to save my life, even body weight so i know its not the weight being too heavy any advice? i want to squat heavy but i cant get any lower
heel elevated? not even that has worked? if not squatting shoes then a plate behind your feet to put your heels on

It’s probably something with form or how your body is

it is, idk it’s frustrating i can’t squat below like almost parallel even bodyweight. if i do goblet squats with a plate tho i can go all the way down

if you can get depth with a goblet then you should really try heel elevated back squats, it can be a little harder on the knees tho
