After seeing, literally, hundreds of people struggling (sometimes unknowingly) with squat form, I decided to create the Squat Rx instructional videos on squat form and training. This blog is meant to be a platform for those videos, and a place of discussion about strength and conditioning issues for coaches, trainers, teachers, athletes, students, and enthusiasts. Posts and articles are meant to provoke thought, inspiration, and reflection.
My athletic background is in gymnastics, Tae Kwon Do, competitive swimming, powerlifting, and kettlebells. I have coached swimming at the age-group, high school, D3, and masters levels, served as a S&C coach at the high school level, and conducted kettlebell workshops and classes for CrossFit, high school students, and personal trainers.

Good Squatting!

Hi Boris,
That is great moment. A 10 kilo pr as well. It seems like a homerun in the bottom of the ninth.
I am in the dead lift contest tomorrow. I am a bit nervous. It was a rough couple months in the gym because of the heat. I had trouble eating enough and getting much work done in the sauna that my garage became.
It's been rough temperature-wise. I've been in the garage for training the past month or so as well. On the plus side, I certainly don't dilly-dally when it's that hot.
What are you opening with? I'll try to make it out to see you there if I can!
Boris
My plan is 1st attempt 475, second attempt 510. If those go really well I will try 555 or 560 for the last attempt. If they dont go well 535 - 540.
I'm just going to try to have a good time.
I remember when I saw this I understood it was a big deal winning, then found out afterwards about what happened with his wife.
Winning is nice, but winning with a great cause is much better.
awesome. such pure passion and committment. love it.
That's his "thank god Reza didn't compete!" dance.
I kid, I kid. Such an awesome vid.
