SHOULD you or SHOULDN’T you squat below 90 degrees? Joel Seedman vs Zack Telander | EP 460
07 Sep 2023
In this episode of the Align podcast, Joel Seedman and Zack Telander debate whether or not ATG squats are ultimately harmful for athletes and non-athletes alike. Joel dives deep into his stance, that squatting heavy loads below 90 degrees can be a dangerous movement . What’s more, he argues that it can cause premature aging of the body. Zack, on the other hand, explores the benefits of movements like ATG squats. He argues that removing exercises entirely from a programme is too hard a line to draw. We end the episode with a challenge for both coaches. Whose side are you on?
