Just some good ol' fashioned PE.
Quotes
"We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs."-Coach Glassman
"Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar."-Coach Glassman
“Be patient and tough; some day this pain will be useful to you.” –Ovid
Partial squats are never good. They neglect the hips and hamstrings. When an athlete stops above parallel, his/her knee joints are forced to halt the downward momentum. But once the athlete goes below parallel, that stress is transferred to the more powerful muscle groups in the hips (glutes), lumbars, hamstrings, and adductors. Full squats keep all these muscle groups proportionately strong.
