squatts down to the ground... lower back question.

[jeremys]

have we come to an agreement yet on whats best?

i used to just drop down and come up from a squat with a narrow stance. it was basically an oly squat and knees went in front of my toes a bit i'm sure. my legs grew like crazy though

No, and we never will. There is no best. I didn't even know we were debating what's best.

As far as I'm concerned, the best stance is the one you can stand back up with the most weight in.

I was arguing that just because people "quad squat" that doesn't mean they don't use or need strong. flexible hammies. That's all I was sayin....

gotcha

Spatts is right, as long as the fundamentals are there , the stance is a prsonal preference, Larry Pacifico would tell his trainees this, stance was never an issue......and people who quad squat not only are missing out on some huge numbers if only they utilized their hammies, but if they slack off on hamstring training, those babies are gonna tear some day, and tear hard.
