I have to turn off my PC's volume before watching any instagram video. Why do you guys use instagram for video? I understand why people use it for photos, but the video aspect of it just seems awful.
lol, 2 yrs ago you could only upload a 10sec clip, so everyone posted in super fast forward mode

THAT, I could not understand, but started to use it for the social aspect

Now you can upload longer clips, it makes more sense

I do wish you could pause and skip.. I hate when people don't trim their vids

I think the 10-15 second clip actually helped Instagram.

Vine, Snapchat, and others were ~7 seconds. With 15, you could upload a PR lift. It worked really well for that and was much easier to use and browse than Facebook.

It’s nice having a minute now and multiple frames, but I have to give IG credit for having double the availability 2-3 years ago.

Do you let your clients squat high or is this a result of a weird camera angle?

The still pictures are taken on my crappy mobile phone camera, between pressing the button and the picture being taken is a delay, so I rarely manage to catch them at the bottom. The videos there, one is a novice so depth is inconsistent rep to rep and set to set, which we're working on, and the other two squat videos, they squat very much below parallel, so... *shrug*.

When we go to GPC meets I'm sometimes asked why I make my lifters squat so deep, "if they went shallower and wore knee wraps they could lift more."

I can use a better camera and make a compilation of side views if you wish. But...

Well, I am not one of your potential clients and don't know if your people even care about powerlifting-legal squats. But given that video is a visual medium and that we are talking about your business account it might be worth the extra effort to take a couple extra steps and film your clients from a somewhat more favourable angle. Having lifters that do squat to depth in competition might not be all that useful if you can't see any of that on your business account.
