In our research review I discuss a great journal review all about squatting. Even though you have probably performed this exercise thousands of reps, there is always something new you can learn or ways to do it better.

This review breaks down the squat at every joint as well as a number of different variations. I discuss some key points you should pay attention to at the ankle, the knee, and the hips. Plus I give 5 practical take aways that you can apply to your squatting immediately.

In our Coaches Interview segment, I have on Level 2 SGX Coach Brad Sims from Legacy Athletic Club in New Jersey. Coach Brad has a background in obstacle course training, corrective exercise, and works with a physical therapy clinic which gives him great insights into common compensations that runners development and other injury prevention techniques.

Brad gives us insight into his training programs he uses with his clients. Plus we get into the importance of body weight training, key movement patterns, and common compensations that he sees. Don’t miss the great resource for runners that he gives below. He also touches on how to train without having access to obstacles and even training that you can do at work.

All that plus much more in this episode.
