Um... that's not a roman chair. I have no idea how it's called but it's not.

I took about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half, but that includes changing my clothes/shoes and stretching so... probably more like 50 minutes to a hour of effective working out and resting in between sets.

Yeah, very interesting. So I guess my idea of squatting narrower to better develop my quads is not so brilliant after all? Maybe the o-lift shoes will help me get ATG though and that will help.
Also you get the feeling that the half squats are actually more important for posterior chain development than quad, looking at the data.

While it is difficult to compare the relative hip, knee and ankle moments of the three stance widths because of differences between subjects, there is no indication in this study that wider stance width squats involve lower knee extension moments than narrow stance width squats. In fact, the wider stance squats seemed to produce greater knee extension moments, suggesting they may be better for strengthening the quadriceps than narrow stance squats.

For strength and power athletes:
There was a trend for greater time spent in the acceleration phase in wider stance squats, which is an indicator that wider stance squats could provide a greater training effect. Strength and power athletes may therefore obtain greater benefits from wider stance squats.
There was a trend for both knee and hip moments to increase with increasing stance width. This is another reason for strength and power athletes looking to develop leg strength and power to prefer wider stance squats.

I know it says "squat" not "deadlift", but still, just in case you missed it.

Um... does the "roman chair" mean the same thing to everybody?

By the way - how do the deadlifts feel like in the o-lift shoes? I think I've probably asked this SOMEWHERE but I don't remember where. Are they any different? Are RDLs feeling different?

Did you do any unracking to prepare yourself for the crushing weight of the empty bar?

From what I understand he says it's a better idea to load the front of the foot (balls of the feet) and engage the calves (by doing so) but obviously steel keeping the heel on the floor.
I guess he's for elevated heel squats, be it on a plate or with o-lift shoes.

This article is actually pretty big (in terms of going against the "norm"). Nobody has any opinions on it?
