Louis' Speaks out on the Squat - herecy?

[tiramisu]

Rippetoe has recently de-affiliated with cross-fit and both westside seems to have taken the mantle of crossfit squat experts for the moment.

Louis explaining to a cross-fitter that the wide squat carries over to the regular width back squat and fundamentally develops more hip drive than the regular width stance.

Multi-ply bias or brilliant insight?

Wide is natural.Easy to listen to that guy.Good vid.

[Shortdave]

That is proper hip drive.

I saw Joe DeFranco talk and he said wide stance squating always improves the close stance, but never vice versa.

Interesting watch...

Brilliant insight.

The thing to remember on Louie is that he has no EGO, he just wants results, and he's not married to anything or any training style.

So if he's loving wide stance squatting there's a reason... only probablem is not everybody has a mono lift to train off of, or 2-3k to invest in one.

allow me to introduct my mono-lift replacement..
It also does heavy bench lift offs :)
