Yup, video confirmed my concern.
Horrifying technique:
- reverse curl masquerading as a clean
- valgus knee stress when squatting (can just make it out by looking at the Q angle)
- excessive anterior knee shift when catching the ‘reverse curl’
(also note the female in the background- frightening anterior knee shift, reverse curl…atrocious)
The thing is, Buddy and I are very critical of the mechanical execution of the lifts during weight training.
The only exceptions you’ll see, in some cases, is the ass coming off the bench when straining maximally during a bench press; however, this poses no orthopedic concern; unlike the valgus stressing at the knees and anterior knee shift we see in all of the LSU weight training footage.
It’s truly irresponsible and wrong to see this happening in the videos and the coaches are standing right there completely oblivious to what’s happening in front of their eyes.
