Squat School-Episode 1


Written by

There is prevalent information available online in regards to squat technique. We think its important to share with you our collective knowledge about the topic. This knowledge comes not just from formal education (Dr. Quinn’s DPT training and countless reading from Max and Chad) it is also based in our practical knowledge of decades of heavy squatting (440kg @ SHW for Chad and 337.5kg @ 100kg for Max plus 3x BW Front Squat) and our extensive and impressive roster of athletes we have coached. Please that into account these type of credentials when you are assessing whom you listen to about training topics.

With that being said, we bring you Episode 1 of Squat School, a series in which we will break down the squat technique of athletes we work closely with (as well as eventually fan videos) to show you what is good, what can be improved and how we can improve it. Enjoy!
