Squatting for Quads?

[endpoint]

I'd say that's pretty safe...I suppose you don't know until your knee cap shoots out the side of your leg.

just ask eddy coan.

are we agreeing to disagree?

i agree with what you say.....but wont squat like a powerlifter

 

[spatts]

Hm...I think we're agreeing that you disagree that you can't see that I'm agreeing with you.

KARMA for you!

For the record, Ed squatted all knees caving in, knees way over the toes...all the stuff I gripe about. Project and Hannibal and I watched his video, and thought, "That won't last long!" We were all in pain just watching it. It doesn't surprise me at all that he blew his knee.

ha okay.

everything is taking me a while today. I just woke up after 12 hours and 40 mins of sleep.

and yes hamstrings are heavily involved no matter what......it is a compound movement.

jeez maybe i should skip work today

Now you're getting the hang of it! Are you sure you're not a powerlifter? lol

damn cant send you karma.

im a powerlifter at heart......but if i skip work i wont be able to use the beatiful glute ham raise machine......that gets used for sit ups.

also i would miss out on on 3/4 squats, deadlifts upright rows reverse curls.....um sorry i mean cleans.

all i need is a goatee and some chuck taylors.

who wrote that article? i think i have read it before.

Arioch: Squat Theory and Exectution. Sticky on the PL board.

They use the GHR for abs? And only abs?

How sad.

ah thats why i recgonise it...jeez i miss him.

they dont use it right. (the GHR) they use it like a hyperextension bench, and wonder why they dont feel it where they should

I am only new there.....and still on a volunteer probation. and im pushing my luck...so i cant comment.

I got the badest "evil eyes" from a coach, when i butted into a conversation on why his athlete wasnt performing pushpress properly...i have learnt to shut up and do what they say

A quick question spatts.

Why does squatting on plates make you cringe? Is it because of the grip (or lack of) they offer since you like to spread the floor, or is it because of the angle they put your foot in?

I've never squatting on plates, but lots of us squat with elevated heels.

Endpoint, why do you belive ine a narrow, vertical squat?

 

[spatts]

Pushing through the heels helps to recruit the hammies which increases the safety of the squat (as outlined above).
