Roger Clemens' Squat Technique

[Tiburon]

Hi Coach,

For the last few days of ESPN's coverage of Roger Clemens, they have been showing a brief video of Clemens and Andy Pettitte working out.

The video shows Clemens and Pettitte doing quarter-squats on a Smith machine.

Now, I respect these two strong guys for being at the top of their craft for so long. And I really don't care what drugs they took. But I can't help but lose some respect for them when I see them doing quarter-squats on a Smith machine. Should I give them a break?

No, let's don't.
