No, I'm not making fun of you. I'm not calling you out on some ridiculous gym-macho competition thing.
But let's be honest...babies squat better than you do!
Have you ever watched a baby drop something, then pick it up? 9 times out of 10, they execute a perfect squat. Hip driven, feet flat, heels down, toes lined up.
And...they don't worry about whether their knees extend beyond the ends of their feet!
You know what I'm talking about. Your sports coaches, "strength & conditioning" coaches and even the trainers in your gym tell you about that "rule" of squatting!
Ready? It's utter and complete bull-schpock! My clients routinely squat to parallel, without a second thought. And without worrying about their knee position.
In fact, many of my athletes can squat to the bottom of the range of motion with a barbell, dumbbells or kettlebells PRESSED OVERHEAD!!
How do you feel about your big leg press last week? How's that huge "Smith Machine" squat you did last week looking now, tough stuff?
Don't even get me started on that medieval piece of s*%t!
Did you know that more than 60% of all sports-related ACL tears (tears in the supportive ligament in the knee) occur during decelerative movement in the transverse plane of moton?
In otherwords, most ACL tears occur while an athlete is trying to slow down their own bodyweight (decelerate) while turning or twisting through the lower body.
Think of an athlete trying to make a cut. Does that look like anything that might ever happen on a stinkin' SMITH MACHINE?!?
You've gotta be kidding me! Yet every day, some poor, misguided and undirected athlete takes his/her coach's advice to "hit the weight room," and begins the long, hard, grinding road to a season-ending injury! Thanks a lot!
Do you want to be a better athlete? Do you want to maximize your potential and become an athletic weapon??
Then it's as simple as this: You must train functionally, in all planes of movement, at varying speeds, while developing high levels of dynamic stability and explosive power!
Do you really think that's gonna happen on the SMITH MACHINE? The Leg Press? Oh, I know, you'll get that sitting on the bench press!! Of course not!
Look, to develop the kind of strength, speed, power and explosiveness you need to rock your game and dominate the competition, you need to base your training program on your sports movements
Look, I'm not going into it again! Most of you already know how I feel about McFitness and the school gym!
Here's my challenge to you: Are you ready to do it right? Are you prepared to do everything it takes to be ready to win at any given moment, and in every single competition?If not, do the rest of the real athletes a favor: GET OUT OF THE WAY! That's right...move! Let the athletes who are ready step in and get it done!
However, if you are ready...REALLY READY...to embrace your athletic potential; to stop hiding behnd the hype and the story of what you might do. If you're ready to start writing some new headlines in your athletic life; to become the standout you were put here to be...we're ready to help!
