In Response To: Re: Heavy Squat *LINK* (Andrew Wilson)

"the reason majority of strength coaches require only to parallel and not below is the risk versus reward concept. I personally feel that athletes should squat below parallel, but in the world (politics) of athletics my opinion does not matter. A strenght coach has to battle with athletic trainers, doctors and sport coaches. Politics out weighs the notion of what may or may not be right/wrong in athletic development."

These are concepts that I already understand. It's amazing the impact a little ignorance can have.

"Also you are dealing with athletes who have previous injuries and may not be allowed (doctors orders) to squat below or even at parallel anymore."

Don't squat at or below parallel, but keep playing that sport that is (NOT) sooo much safer for the knees! LOL!

"Just a little insight on to why I made that statement."

Your stated reason fits with what I thought your reasoning was.
