I’m not criticizing him. Just offering an observation. The low bar technique utilizes the same motor pattern as a leg press due to center of gravity shifting, hence the increased weight. High bar forces a heavier amount of core stabilization so energy is lost stabilizing. A lot of strength coaches don’t have their athletes go “butt to grass,” because unless you’re a catcher you don’t have the need to be explosive in that ROM. I’ve never understood why most people who probably touch a controversial 400lbs wrapped and strapped like they’re Thor call out athletes.would sort of set the bar for him, huh?

YawnYou guys are making a way bigger deal out of a basic observation than those making the observation. Obviously it’s more important for him to be a good football player than a good powerlifter which he is already the first and is obviously very strong. For me I like following powerlifting and strongman and watch a lot strength coaching videos to improve my own technique, where it’s constantly drilled into you that it’s way better for an athlete to train under load through a fuller ROM (in this case it’s just knee level). If that ROM can’t be achieved then lower the weight until it is. Talking about technique in this video is no different than watching game tape and saying a DL came off the ball too high and lost leverage against the OL but y’all are acting like we insulted his family.
