They even had the nerve to buy 34 more stationary bikes, instead of buying another power rack after many members requested one.

Money rules! They need to make it look good so more "health enthusiasts" join => more money for them.

I'm curious to see Dryeth low bar squat :P

Why don't you go with bulgarian split squats with a long stance (a lot of glute contribution, no knee bending forward) + RDLs for a while? No squatting. See how that goes.

I would argue that you need to define "easier" - as in a wider stance allows better technique => easier or as in a wider stance gets you a bit lower and you need to travel less distance.

I don't see the need to strain with a narrow stance with full squats. Use jump specificity where needed (half squats).

I think in the light of your recent :personal-record: that :personal-record: on the field should come as no surprise :highfive:

Hm... what if you go wider? Maybe you'd squat full better. If I were to keep a shoulder width stance I'd have a very hard time full squatting (where full = below parallel for me).

What stance do you use with your full squats vs your half squats and how much more, if any, are your feet externally rotated?

And I think another thing that needs to be emphasized is to never twist when the back is loaded. The discs themselves are pretty sturdy when loaded "liniarly" but they are not built to sustain twisting under load. So don't do twisted crunches or twisting (even your head to see if you put the bar correctly onto the pins etc) under a loaded back.

At least this is what I know about the spine and the discs.

Only a beast would do that :ninja:

PS. Real answer - because there's no such thing as a sticky "random videos"
