spurs1990 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 My next question would be then, why use the technique they are using. It looks like once the arms are at full extension you have reached the as far as you can go. Which in this case was parallel. Also, apologize for being the uniformed lifter on the board! Puts less stress on shoulders and elbows which are common football injuries. Also helps with your posture so you can be more upright. Some lifters really struggle with keeping good posture and having your hands on the handles in front of you allow you to keep your head and chest up. It is a safer lift for athletes to still get the benefits of traditional rear squat. So does he need to have a lower hold on the squat rack? Otherwise isn't he doing as much as he can?

He could grab lower on the rack with his hands. They have handles to put in the rack that you can grab onto them and not hold the rack, but he is just grabbing the rack. Maliek Collins had a video of him doing 785 pounds as a reference, but Maliek went a little deeper in the squat. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Not sure he'll make a June visit. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Sounds like he will also push back his commitment. Also strongly believe he is no longer the take we think he is after the UCLA visit Quote Link to comment

Also strongly believe he is no longer the take we think he is after the UCLA visit What do you mean by the last part? As in, he isn't as solid as a Nebraska lean as we thought, or he isn't as highly touted? Quote Link to comment

Decked Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Supposedly revisiting Penn State. Heard that his dad is pretty sick? Wonder if that'll play a factor. Quote Link to comment
Scott Tenorman Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yeah, what happened here? Seems like he might not be as solid as everybody thought. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Either we cooled on him or he got swayed would be my guess. Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Either we cooled on him or he got swayed would be my guess. I'm okay with either one of those. Stratford seems to be the more athletic of the two. I think someone else said it, but that's what we seemingly have been looking for in pass protectors. Bleich would be a very solid pick up with OT size and strength, but missing on him and getting Stratford wouldn't be the worst. Two very different styled linemen, both could be very helpful down the road. Sounds like only room for one. Quote Link to comment
