This series on squatting has been about maintaining proper spine positon and bracing during the movement. It has had a specific focus on the often overlooked importance of eliminating thoracic spine extension. To date, we have covered how to create the stability to brace the spine and generate deep spinal stabilization. This starts with the process of creating the correct intra-abdominal pressurization. The second piece in this series covered what you can do to determine the correct hand position based on your current shoulder mobility, and then you use that hand position to improve your squat through incorporation of the lats. In this final piece of the series I will discuss some of the science behind the approach I have been outlining....

From this perspective it would appear that concentric (when the muscle is contracting during the performance of the lift such as when pressing a barbell) ONLY training would have no value to the strength athlete. Although it may appear this way by looking at these simple facts, however training for strength and athletic development is much more complex beast than this one size fits all approach. It is indeed possible to incorporate concentric only training in an effective manner to yield improved strength and or athletic ability....
