Dr. Charlie Weingroff on Squat Debates – The Barbell Life 257

Dr. Charlie Weingroff is a powerlifter and a movement specialist.

Those two don’t normally go hand-in-hand… but today they do.

Charlie joins me today to talk about the finer points of squat technique. One of the things I really love about Charlie is that he’s all about the data – all about the science.

So listen in to this one to hear about the real truth when it comes to squatting.

  1. I wonder if the skeletal adaptations left on the table going unilateral could be made up for by simply introducing rack holds, dosed for roughly the same duration as your heavy bilateral squat set would be. This would take care of the axial skeleton, and we’re still putting roughly the same force through each leg with a single vs bilateral, so not missing adaptations there. Fairly easy to coach up to perform safely at heavy loads too.
