[Colin DeClark @CDeClark]

@XtremeEmpyre @CoachCarlMiller You are 100% correct! There are also many modifications that can be made to the squat pattern to make this less of a limiting factor. They may never cover the calf with the hamstring, but they can squat with a greater ROM if the correct modification is used.

[Colin DeClark @CDeClark]

Following @CoachCarlMiller trend of eliminating excuses for why “tall athletes can’t bend”… all these guys are 6’5” or taller… the standard is the standard.

[Colin DeClark @CDeClark]

@mboyle1959 @CoachCarlMiller I have seen much less drop off in movement ability between tall and short athletes with the unilateral stuff though.

[Colin DeClark @CDeClark]

@mboyle1959 @CoachCarlMiller Front squats, slant boards, & single leg variations have all been great tools for us too. Completely agree with the unilateral comment. I still think it’s important to find ways to establish great movement bilaterally as well.

[Colin DeClark @CDeClark]

@mboyle1959 @CoachCarlMiller There seem to be plenty of modifications that can be made to movements, or other movements that can be used altogether, to promote a greater ROM in a squat pattern for these athletes. I think it really depends what you want to emphasize and where you see the biggest ROI.

[Colin DeClark @CDeClark]

@mboyle1959 @CoachCarlMiller I would agree with this point. I think it is significantly harder for athletes with that kind of build to be able to sit down.

[Carl Miller @CoachCarlMiller]

Please tell me again how your guys just aren’t built to sit deep. 6’8” @FrankCrum75 taking it to the basement because that is the standard that has been established.

Week 6 Field Work. More simple drills executed at a high level.

[Carl Miller @CoachCarlMiller]

Attention all interns‼️‼️ Also, athletes on adjacent racks can benefit from doing this. Just because the cue isn’t directed at you doesn’t mean the information can’t help fix or reinforce something in your lift.

[Carl Miller @CoachCarlMiller]

Some of the field work from the big fellas this week. Moving well with great intent! 🧱 X 🧱

[Carl Miller @CoachCarlMiller]

1. Get efficient at the movement pattern.
2. LOAD IT!

Heavy RDLs. STRENGTH IS NEVER A WEAKNESS
