Squat Flexibility advice needed

[Lawrie Abbott]

One or two, severe obesity, two were elderly, one was a national kettlebell champion.

Now that's a story that needs to be fleshed out a bit!

What, in the fuck, is this?

I know no more now than I did then. The woman simply refused to go below parallel. Puzzling, seeing as kettlebells are the definitive strength training.

God damn, this is good.

Pain that is born in the gym, dies in the gym. Pain that is born out of being a lazy sack of shit will outlive you.

Literature.

Thanks guys. I reached back out to Leah, and she is going to add me to her SS training group.

[Mark Rippetoe]

Excellent decision.

Did she say she wouldn't or couldn't?

How did you proceed with them? Leg press? Squat high at first and hope it corrects itself? Drop weight first then come back? I guess I'm more asking about the obese people than the elderly or stubborn.

Did she say she wouldn't or couldn't?

She didn't say anything. She just squatted for 2 hours without going below parallel, even under the withering assault of my coaching.

My typical procedure is the leg press, which we usually do not have access to or time to fuck with during a seminar.

Rip,

Have you ever been to Bend, OR?

Even if not, know of any good gyms there?
