That is correct, but you have to keep in mind with who you are working with. Nothing is 100% true....like if you are working with someone who has arthritis in their knees. As for the mid/lover trap balance, high intensity front squats work work great and deadlifts will target them, but put more stress initially on the upper traps.
I read Charles Poliquin say that the knees are least stable at 90 degrees, so stopping at 90 to change direction of the weight would be the worst angle for knee injury and wear. Wouldn't deadlifts help build strength and balance in the mid/lower traps if they had stretched if they are fast muscle fibres?
thanks, front squats always felt more natural to me that back squats( difficulty keeping lower back arch/ neutral, hells on ground), are RDLs in your other video good to pair with front squats?
how about breathing? inhale going down , hold breath in the bottom exhale going up? or it is he opposite?And how is the breathing in dealift. the same?
You are correct, but don't pigeon whole yourself into one belief system. There are too many factors based on the person that can squash this. This person is over 6ft tall, has a long femur and hip restrictions. So, if we pushed her past parallel, she would flex forward at the hips and back, creating shearing the lumbar segments, etc. So take everything into consideration, as well as why you are doing a squat with a person before thinking only one thing!
Priceless information here. I've been debating with friends about front load vs back squats for two weeks as it relates to back pain. I was not able to articulate my bias for front squats nearly as well as you but I just knew it felt much better physically, Now I feel especially confirmed in addition to now having learned more on proper technique which was definitely needed. Much oblidged.
I have a question. I am pigeon chested (my breast bone sticks out). i have done research on this for a few weeks and have found that a person who is pigeon chested has problems breathing while exercising and gets worn out fast because pegon chested people needs to use the diaphragm and accessory muscles for respiration rather than normal chest muscles during strenuous exercise. I can find very little info about this and was wondering if you know anything about it and what i can do about it?

According to paul chek, you do not engage the gluts till you go to at least parallel or maybe even a slight btt lower.
From my perspective, the person demonstrating is only doing a half squat. Not nearly low enough, to work her gluts.
