However this guy: http://danjohn.org/ Recommends it, and he's probably one of 2-3 guys who I would say everyone should listen to in matters of weight lifting. Yeah Faz. I've read a bit of the Dan John stuff and he seems to swear by them. | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | He's just one of those guys that really makes a lot of sense. I've read a lot of his stuff and applied a lot of his stuff to my own training with good results. His advice for the most part is helpful and applicable. | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Fair enough mate. For me he loses all credability in advocating OH sqts, but I guess I lose mine when I ask about masturbation and it's application to strength and power training  At the end of the day, I know which I'd prefer, and which is least damaging to my wrist  | ||

Just some of his general training recommendations have been like gold to me. | ||

Many seem to think that they're a good exercise. http://z9.invisionfree.com/Strength_Discussion/index.php?showt... | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | It looks like one of those cultural disconnects - US Aussy o-lifters and field athletes seem to revere them, UK ones very definitely don't. There are probably good arguments on either side. | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | I guess I buck the UK trend, I love them. Ive had positive results in ab strength and hip flexibility from doing them regularly, and I think they make a really good warmup for squatting or just about any full body training. Although of course there are a 101 ways to achieve these aims. Most importantly, I find them fun. | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Also, I can see wories over injury risk as the only reason not to do them if they appeal to you. And plenty of lifters who ive known do them for years have done so without injury so if you do them properly I see them being no more of a risk than any other lift. | ||
