Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Squat Form Critique
« on: August 25, 2010, 05:08:43 am »x2 great points. If youre contracting the the glutes and hamstrings correctly during the squat and "pulling" with the hamstring on the explosive concentric, it will prevent you from going into knee hyperextension at lockout. This type of kinesthetic awareness is will help tremendoulsy in jumping, landing, sprinting, kicking, and just about any explosvie action where knee extension is involved as well.
yup i was going to say exactly what lance said, when i do it i go up explosively and just about lock out by finishing with the hip extension at the top but i'm not really putting lots of the stress on knees doing that. eric cressey and mike robertson talk about doing this at well, you finish the squat by pushing your hips through.
