Myths of the Squat by Rob Wagner

[JJFigure]

Rob Wagner is a world level competitive Powerlifter, college strength coach, and excellent instructor. He has several great training articles posted on www.powerliftingeast.org well worth taking the time to read. This is one of my favorite series - a few pointers to bring up whenever someone tells you squatting is bad for your knees:


Myths of the Squat Part 1

I scimmed over it and it looks like some interesting stuff. Im looking forward to going over it in more detail later, thanks...

I read Myths of the squat 1 and I have to say its pretty much spot-on. This should be a sticky, its essential squat reading. Good stuff.

I agree on the sticky - Rob makes good points everyone should consider when determining whether or not to squat and flat bench.

Interesting read.

I'm very interested in the degree of your arms while pressing, I've always kept my arms close to 90, but after reading this, I think I'll experiment tonight with a lesser degree.. since I hurt my shoulder doing the press..
