So, after going  down on the weight and finally achieving good form on full squats, why are you doing only halfs on both free and box squats?
It looks like you are scoobychau-ing a bit , you have lance and stevenmiller advicing you with patience and in detail how to improve your full squat and you keep going back to halfs!
Just saying...

Because he's at a beast level of strength already and needs to train with more specificity now.

Hey Lance, if someone's goal is strictly SLRVJ's and sprinting, wouldn't it be more beneficial for this person to try and be as hip dominant as possible and try to get way in front of the line in this force vector test?

Also with the added benefit of lowering knee problem risks?

Yes you want to be hip/glute dominant for single leg, but the goal of the test is to teach you how to do the sv without wasted movement, regardless of dominance.  No matter where you land, the most efficient vertical goes straight up.

Like the vertical bar path in a hump powerclean, right?

Another question, can you recommend another forearm exercise I can throw into my workout routine?

Don't tempt me.

I dont think that picture is optimal for everyone, it was only to show that there are many different opinions on squats than what rippetoe preaches has to happen.

Um... there are?

Knees point ahead?

Wish me luck going lower than half squat depth with my knees pointing straight forward...

So does everybody agree that KD benching 315 is probably fake?.... That was about to make me even more jealous of KD... Lol

The Durant video is fake.  It was part of some joke videos that they did a year or 2 ago with his alleged neighbor that never caught on.

Wait... so the Durant video was so well made that some people need other people to tell them it's fake or wtf? I can't remember a faker video in such an obvious way in quite some time... wtf?

Plus that bench press by Kevin looked damn easy!

That's right. Daaaaaaaamn easy I tell ya!

yeah, i find it unbelievable how every meathead on this forum thinks they are bball and sports specific experts.  Learn to hit the rim on your layups first then chime in. 

Yeah man, I know. They all talk shit. You should do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for your upperbody, if you train the legs with squats the HGH generated through squatting will help the upperbody grow. No need to burn yourself out with upperbody lifts!

Speaking of leg pressing - why is it so "terrible"? I know, stabilization, fixed hips, 45 angle, why not squat? etc etc etc, but seriously - is it that bad if you say leg press + RDL or leg press + hip thrust?

The question is why would you not squat, but in the eventuality you can't squat/don't want to for whatever reason, is the leg press that terrible in combination with the right assistance exercises?

I can progress in Leg Presses and Barbell Hack Squats faster than Back Squats, does that make them better?

But then again Steven-Miller is a rippetard and thinks his opinion matters because he can squat 450+ pounds.

I can leg press 660 lbs. Does that mean my opinion matters too?!

AWESOME! :highfive:
