Stripping Away All that is Useless

Again, I am agreeing. I don’t get what your point is? I honestly have my guys squat to parallel or just above unless they go deeper without issue. I have seen far too many strength s&c coaches try pounding evryone through a cookie cutter squat technique. Its the old if you ass isn’t leaving pucker marks, your not a man. It is just an exercise to develop qualities to make you play a game better, not adhere to someones preconceived idea that all should fit their criteria.To another point, an Olympic sprinter I trained just did massively explosive quarter squats at high load. Are you saying that was useless? He already had achieved a tone of strength and perhaps too much hypertrophy for his own good. It was not my idea, but I see why he preferred that as his specific need was about being explosive at roughly 45 degree exit angle form blocks. In my years doing this, I never say things don’t have efficacy. I have seen too many things that contradict many things I held as gospel.
