Thanks for the great links, David! I’m definitely going to follow those gymnastics wod videos.

I will say I’ve heard bad things about squatting above proper depth. I’ve heard if you don’t reach a certain depth, you won’t properly load your posterior chain, leaving most of the tension in your quads – this is supposedly bad because it creates uneven tension in the tendons around your knee. Can you comment on that?

Also – it looks like that California Strength video isn’t really “MWOD kosher” in terms of foot, knee, and head placement. (feet rotated out too far, knees not out far enough, head looking forward)
