    "Why don't you just squat?"

    Squats cure cancer.

    There is so much that getting your below-parallel squat over 400 lbs will cure.

    Good article. I'm going to go find someone using a bosu ball tonight. Then eat them.

    More useful than quadruped with alternate arm/leg raises...



    ... x 5 squats.



    More challenging than the prone plank...



    ...any part of a heavy press.



    More *everything, all the time* than even the supersetting of seated marching and multidirectional lunges...



    ...the clean & jerk.

    I distinctly remember reading, in Gordon Pirie's "Running Fast and Injury Free," written decades ago (and probably part of the basis for the current pose/chi running and barefoot running crazes), the recommendation that one be able to press a bare minimum of their own bodyweight overhead before even thinking about running optimally.

    Enjoyed this article very much. referring to a 500lb deadlift, 400lb squat, 300lb clean and 200lb press, Rip says "any decent 200 lb. male athlete should be able".

    I assume this is in specific reference to an athlete in a competitive sense, and not the weekend warrior type, since these numbers indicate, based on data I've seen multiple years of training, and even then perhaps unattainable, since they all border on "elite" levels.

    Look forward to more

    There are lots of problems with journals. Ever try to read primary literature when you're not hooked up through a major university, institution, or research company? The going price for individual purchase -- per article, not per journal issue --is about $30/each. It's like they don't really want you to read them. And really, for the vast majority, you really don't. Trust me.

    Publishing here means more access for more people.

    Link up.

    Weekend warriors don't tend to know how to squat at all, let alone squat heavy three times a week.

    It's about time you start talking about eating!
