Cain, you should recognize Navy rates from back in the day when you were assigned to the Love Boat.
And while the senior chief was with NSW, he was not a BUDS graduate. That doesn't diminish his loss or impact on operations. The work they do down at SUPACT is hugely important to the teams.

That's right Johnny, the Love Boat. Captain Stubing and I were just reminiscing about when we met Mr.Roarke and Tattoo...
It looks like Senior Chief McLendon was a Canoe Club code breaker assigned to support a SW unit - which sounds pretty cool! How does that look on a resume when you've been interviewing white collars all day?
I'm certainly not trying to say that Louie's methods are incorrect.
We are seeing a SMALL cross-section of a larger training protocol.
AJ Robers of Westside Barbell addresses this and a few other questions under the Journals comments section. - Quick summery: 1. A variety of box heights are used at Westside. Think of 'at parallel' as being Medium, Below as being Low, and above as being 'High'. 2. If your PL meet standards are stricter, or if you need more relative hip and back strength, you should train lower.
What I come away with, from watching this video, is amazement with just how vertical a torso, and just how wide a stance can be execute in squat training.
I'm curious to see what the mindset is behind the squat depth. This is not the first PL video I've seen of guys going so close to parallel that I question if they made it. Not that I care, because it's still pretty badass. My initial thought is that they are limiting the distance they have to travel, since it's such a heavy weight and you don't have to hit the ball 500ft to knock it out of the park. It just has to go over the wall. But, I'd like to know from his mouth why. Maybe he wrote a book, and like Rip, he'd just respond, "Buy the book. Read it." Besides, why question the form, they got the weight up.
So, I'm not insinuating your assessment was calling him out. I just wanted to sign a note to Louie with, "Love, John."

Would anyone be interested in a contest where we try to gain as much weight as possible in one week and then try to lose it as fast as possible? We could call it the biggest gainerloser!
Is anyone interested in competing in the Navy Open PL meet at the end of the month?
Mandi and I will be at the Affiliate Gathering that weekend, but that shouldn't discourage participation. It'll be a great event (and probably allot shorter than the last PL meet).
Some value, yes. I suspect 'High Box' and 'Medium Box' training is more value if: 1. The PL meet you are attending is looking/ holds the standard to 'at Parallel'.
2. A specific body-mechanics issue needs to be worked out.
In general, 'Low Box' and 'Medium Box' should be used - And performed with a variety of stance widths.
USA Powerlifting and IPF red light anything that isn't clearly below. 2" below should get you 3 green lights, 1" below should get you 2 our of 3 greens and still count (at least, this has been my observation). - I can not speak to the standards of the IPA.

Is that the guy from that tv show JAG?
No, Its a SEAL who was killed in Afghanistan in a helo crash.

Yup. Well, iv watched the short one on the main page. I'm about to watch the full length journal one.
... and indeed, I do think the squats are all at or above parallel.
Dear Louie,
Your training protocols and methods are terrible and wrong.
Love,
John

Next time I'll read your post twice, Evan.

Is that a bad idea? I guess if I have to ask...
Oh, gang - I forgot to ask:

Train all ways always. Just not all the time.
