Max squatting is one of the all time dumb ideas. Ego leading to injury.

This is stupid.

If it's programmed correctly, there is nothing wrong with squatting heavy for singles. I'm assuming Feeley knows how to program, and there is nothing wrong with using a bit of competition to keep people going in the weight room.

That said, they better be good squats, and not ego squats.

Idk man. Last time they showed pictures of them doing squats, it looked like a lot of ego squats going on.

That's a banded squat in a still image that looks around parallel and doesn't tell you anything other than the fact they've trained knees out by using a band. Doesn't look like an ego squat at all. Biggest issue is mouth open, meaning that he's losing air and possibly not bracing correctly, which should be corrected.


Also you can 100% get a good spot on a squat. It's called side spotting, but considering they are using bumper plates on a platform they can just bail pretty easily as well.

Lots of you guys have obviously never done strength sports if you think a testing day is super dangerous.

If it goes wrong, it's maybe the most damaging lift you can do

18 year olds standing around cheering is not a recipe for leaving ego out.

The lift itself does nothing at all you you.

So basically get rid of a critical compound movement. You might as well get rid of power cleans and deadlifts as well with that method of thinking. And let us know what our team looks like when you get rid of those type of compound movements as we get pushed all over the field.

Just lift where you can control the weight, which maxing doesn't do.

Yeah, they need to lift. It's part of the deal. There will be long term damage from it. Let's not make it catastrophic.

(If you're over 40 and still squat heavy, get a CT scan of your vertebrae, please)
