Most athletes don't understand that the squat is limited by the lack of constant attention to appropriate neural engrams. Good stuff Dutch!

I do low bar squats, but I also do a lot of front squatting as well, so I do believe I get the best of both worlds.

I have them do air squats instead and we do PNF stretching a lot, instead of doing weighted back squats. But is it better to go as far as they can while keeping everything anatomically correct and doing weighted squats? Or do what I do and have them work on flexibility and air squats while keeping everything activated? Thanks!

So no Low-Bar Back squat ever? Just curious... And I have been wanting to go to your seminar for a long time! But I am a poor college student. When are you coming within 3-4 hours of the western part of NC? Awesome Article! So no Low-Bar Back squat ever? Just curious…

And I have been wanting to go to your seminar for a long time!
But I am a poor college student.

When are you coming within 3-4 hours of the western part of NC?

Well when I was teaching the proper squat mechanics some "top coach" told me not to worry it that much and her knees being far over her toes was ok... I almost shit, this is a "top coach" and pretty well known in his area and I was doing my best to teach these 4 girls the proper mechanics. 3 of them picked it up fast, one had issues, so when I was taking her aside to show her some cues that's when he stepped in and pretty much told me that it doesn't matter because she was ok. Needless to say, we argued about that and I reiterated that I am a "form nazi" and I don't really want to teach bad form... Long story short, pissed me off... and now he has a "hybrid muscle" book out for sale online that almost rips off CrossFit methods and even has a FAQ asking a question "Is this program like CrossFit" and calls his program superior.... Wow that was a rant.... ha Dutch, when I was at a Strength Coach seminar in Boston I had the chance to take some high school girls through a workout.
