is the definition of MUA. Obviously people try to make their body more efficient in MUA. The more MUA, the more force production. I wouldn’t say either exercise is superior to the other; it depends on what you are looking for. For someone like Bob Sanchez, who is talking in powerlifting parameters, I think it would be impossible to say either is more important than the other. Personally, I do cycles of deadlifts for 4 or so weeks for every 12 weeks squatting. I like to give my guys a mental break from the rigors of squatting. 4 weeks of deadlifting is often a welcome break and they get a serious jump in their poiundages over the course of a month. They get up into heavy 3-4 reps as I don’t really care for max singles as I feel it’s too dangerous to lower backs for football athletes.
