Former 49ers Lineman Keeps it Real

[a_crook]

Being a 49er fan and a Starting Strength fan I found this interview with Joe Staley, former all-pro lineman, quite interesting. Last year the 49ers lost the most equivalent starter time of any team in the past 20 years in the NFL.

"I really saw a difference in the way that we train, and the strength staffs, and kind of getting away from the Olympic lifts and the deep squats... The lifting of the 90s and 2000s was kind of frowned upon, and it's now much more performance-based and science and what's the best way we can get explosion, all this data. Sometimes, you've just got to go, put a bar on your back, and deep squat, and feel tough about it."

Turns out maybe they should squat more....
