So many Power Clean PR’s today (or at least very close)! It was great to see so many improvements in pulls, speed and receiving position. Drill those positions with a PVC and bar and perfect that technique.

Squatting to full depth or below parallel? What should I strive for? What is the difference? Full depth (i.e. ass to grass) is essential range of motion in the healthy athlete. Below parallel is the standard with which we judge a rep (i.e. break parallel to count). Go for full depth. Train it, practice it, and focus on perfect mechanics and consistency of depth before adding more weight on your hips, muscles and joints.

Read on for all of the reasons to squat deep:
