@@smokerb_official Sorry just curious, why is that?

[@michaellaidler7143]

That said, there is no excuse for walking the bar forward out of the rack, especially those racks. I've trained there, it's way too easy to bang the plates on the hooks, as the hooks are way too close together. It's way safer to walk it out backwards.

[@vance9090]

A lot of pro teams in sports do this. Been studies that show for athletes that half squatting or 3/4 squatting can still create the same force and less abrasive on hips/knees/ankles than full ROM squats.

[@F-Tier_Physique]

@@vance9090 Incorrect, different depths cause stress on different tendons, ligaments and soft tissue.Most sheer force happens way before parallel. Shorter ROM squats have shown to high jump and sprint speeds, but much give less muscle growth than regular squats. An athlete should be doing both. Full ROM squats can be good for the knees as it decompresses certain parts of the ligaments and tissue, but ofc not if it makes you round your back, cave your knees in etc.

[@vance9090]

@@F-Tier_Physique I ain’t disagreeing with you at all. But you take professional sports in America, hockey, football, basketball and even top level college programs here like Alabama or an Oklahoma, they all cut their ROM to about 3/4. They do not teach A2G for these guys.

[@aaronb2779]

And it's clearly working for them. They never go below parallel on the pitch. At the end of the day they're training for elite level sport not body building.

These guys ain't lifting so they can look good in the mirror, they're doing it so they can win in a physical contest. They don't wanna be too bulky either, cos they need to be able to carry that body around the paddock for 80 minutes. Considering they're the most successful pro sports team in the world (and that covers ALL sports), I kinda get the feeling they're doing things just right

[@Pr0sper7]

Not hating but I've seen better lifts from my football team in high-school then some of these athletes

[@hubub2475]

They do what they need to be in top condition for the weekend. If you're going to bust a lung going 7-12km forwards, backwards and laterally, comprised of 85%+ effort sprints for 80 minutes plus all the contact, you don't need to squat more than 160kg to parallel for a rep or two. Just be able to move proportionally decent weight quickly. Why burn out in the gym when what matters is the skill and speed on the pitch? The All Blacks have never been the strongest or biggest, but they've always been the best conditioned and most skilled, and it's made them the best sports team in the world. I'm an England fan, so that really hurts to say!

[@jamie_aoc2]

They dont bulk like South Africa and England and don't have the same amount of doping as them either so that's why they're not as big
