Exploring Eccentric and Isometric Training for Strength and Control

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?
