#44 Do you even squat bro? (Part 2)
Squat series continued. Let's begin with an image: This is an Olympic lifter catching a barbell that weighs about 150kg (330lbs) in a squat during his Clean & Jerk. As impressive as his strength is that's not what I want to talk about in this post, but rather, the ability to squat low/deep (is it …
