Knees Caving in is Weak ADDuctors, It is Not Using Them More, or Weak Abductors, Knees Forward Also Makes No Sense

There seems to be this trend to drive the knees forward and not out to initiate the squat. One person told me that the argument was that it allows us to use our hip adductors more. That thought Read More

Written by: Kevin Cann The max effort method is the best method to build absolute strength. This is undeniable due to the specificity of heavy singles for the sport of powerlifting.

My Love Hate Relationship with Hypertrophy

12/01/2020 precisionpowerlifting 0

Written by: Kevin Cann I have been a very vocal proponent of direct hypertrophy work in powerlifting. I think my argument against it gets misunderstood.

Hypertrophy is developed from a well-organized plan and more direct work is probably unnecessary. We take a Read More
