B) My favorite part about the idea that the squat doesn't utilize the glutes much is that Contreras also has given credence to the "hamstrings can't meaningfully extend the hip in deep knee flexion" idea, a la Nuckols.
So, the glutes don't fire, and then the hamstrings don't work... so is someone squatting several hundred pounds just equipped with mega adductors? Or are we just hoping for quads and calves so damn powerful that they somehow manage to move everything in the closed chain anyways? Seems... undercooked, at best.
