Date: April 6th, 2015 2:51 PM Author: Light Business Firm Black Woman Back has to be straight, hips don't move, squeeze glutes, chest up, eyes straight forward, press over and move your head slightly as the bar crosses in order not to hit yourself, full rom, core should be supporting you.
Most people bend their back, have their neck back looking up, and press like some weird combo of an OP and incline bench press. |

To illustrate, I cannot overhead squat even with an empty bar. Doing it with a broomstick, the stick is 45 degrees out in front of me. That's the highest I can get it. |

Date: April 7th, 2015 3:34 AM Author: cracking onyx double fault "I know squats are considered goat potus, but they are not the best for targeting glutes because so much of the weight is handled by the quads. Deadlifts, goodmornings, single leg DLs and lunges are much better for targeting glutes and hams."
this is total bullshit and i have heard other crossfitters blindly repeat it on several occasions. if you can squat three hundo, you are go to have very good glute development as a matter of necessity. what you are talking about is the fact that squatting with shitty form and for high reps does not build substantial glute bulk, which i agree with. it's still the overall best heavy glute building exercise.
and lolz lolz lolz at the idea that deadlifting is a superior glute developer. i have read most of the gold standard BB manuals and plenty of the new stuff, and none of them agree with this.
the only valid point nestled in here is that knee-collar parallel movements like lunges are probably overlooked, but in terms of having to choose a single exercise to develop your lower body? there is really no choice unless you're a brainwashed crossfitter repeating shit passed around on tumblers and blogs by full blown 'tards. |

Date: April 6th, 2015 3:15 PM Author: startling parlour quadroon Yet another study showed that forces on the ACL are reduced as the knee is flexed beyond 60 degrees, and forces on the PCL are reduced as the knee flexes past 120 degrees. . . . Squatting below parallel has the additional benefit of significantly increased activation of the gluteal muscles. The deeper you squat, the greater the glute activation. Whether you’re seeking to improve your performance or your appearance, you’re not doing yourself any favors by leaving the glutes out of the picture.

Think about it . . . bench press is one of the easier movements yet how often do you see someone with a proper back arch with 3 points of contact (feet/ass/lats), use leg drive, bar grip so that forearms are perfectly perpendicular to floor and weight is transferred directly to forearms instead of losing strength to bent wrists, etc? It's rare to see someone benching right and even rarer to see good squats and deadlifts. |
