Article & Video Discussion / Re: The low bar squat is not an exercise

Now now... read the whole article...

I think there are more nuances that aren't being discussed in the comparison of the two, and one of the most important and understated of these is the foot dorsiflexion demands/dorsiflexion adaptations that the high bar requires/provides. And with that comes a ton of other "side-effects".

I would re-arrange that in a way where the plyos/jumps/sprints are being prioritized. Check out my last post in my log and see what you think.

Thanks man!

Yeah, at this point, I just install themes and stuff like that...

For example, on this particular theme, if I want to access it by phone... that "resume" of the site keeps on popping up and you can't close it. Sucks.

Yeah it works well now. In the last week it's been very slow though.

How are you doing your power cleans? From hang or from the ground? Since you didn't say "hang power cleans" I assume from the ground.

If you do them from the hanging position, then I found out that it's best to do singles instead of more reps. For me, whenever I do even two reps the amount of fatigue I get in my hands becomes a very limiting factor in actual power expression in the clean itself. The bar starts to feel heavier and heavier every second I stay with it in my hands and the arms start to wander around in bad, weird positions.

So today I did singles (3x1 instead of 1x3) with like 20 seconds or so breaks in between, and all my reps were explosive and powerful. Just something to think about.

That's the toughest question you could ask me... because I've been battling this all my life (but never really put the effort to correct it).

Maybe one way would be to strengthen the hamstrings AND the glutes... and to stretch the heck out of your rectus femoris and hip flexors in general all day long, every day. Foam roll, blah blah... but who has the time for that from a practical standpoint?

Is it just for me? It takes like half a minute to a minute to load a post or whatever

Damn... you could gain quite a bit just improving your hip hyperextension ROM IMO... there's room for that there (how many times I've said that?)

To be honest... I have yet to find a weight at the RDL that challenges me legs-wise... it's always a matter of losing my grip with them, never me not being able to do them.
