« on: June 11, 2013, 05:44:38 am »One thing you guys are overlooking, which is a HUGE factor in kingfishs ankle dorsi flexion is he is purposely squatting on the front of his feet. Even with weightlifting shoes on his heels come off the floor at times. This will drastically alter the perception of dorsi flexion in a normal squat with the weight on mid foot/heel. Hes obviously adapted to this and his knees are fine, but trying to copy that aspect of his squat will hurt a lot athletes who are not Kingfish and do not have his proportions nor time spent building strength in that movement pattern.
balls of the feet. if we have to land on them with forces coming from plyometrics.. 2-2.5BW in a slow controlled movement should be a lot easier to adapt to.
i concentrate on heel pushing on goodmornings.. never on the squats.
Thank you. I'm tired of this "push it through the heels" thing. I mean I know it's a good cue for beginners not to go with crazy knee overloads but everything that occurs athletically occurs at the balls of the feet.
If that should be replicated in the gym and if we should strive for pure specificity - I would say no. But if you're able to safely, then you should go for it.
