My wife does. She can't physically get down low without a little raising of the heels.

But I don't advocate it unless you are in a rack with pins. Stepping back with weight and rest on something can be dangerous.

We also had this conversation recently. Not sure if it will help:

There will be some new training information coming soon. I've got 2-3 new programs in the works. I thought I would have at least one of them ready by this time, but I'm digging deeper into the periodization of the programs.

Right now I'm working on a 2 day a week program,
and a 3 day a week program.

I'm also planning on reworking the Reeves classic. I've said many time that the Reeves can be worked a lot of different ways if you knew how to do it. So I'm going to work on a new method of working it.

This section isn't dead, and there will be more information coming.

This picture made me stop and think about the current state of training, and what most people are doing in their workouts.

Would the typical person looking to tone up be happy looking like this? I think the answer is yes.



At some point in the last 110 years we lost a bit of common sense as to what makes sense for the typical everyday person who picks up a barbell.
