not quite atg, but still good lifting.

I've actually heard international teams weightlifting teams ( I believe it was china) does not advocate actual ATG they go down as low as they can without butt winking


China only focusing on having the back straight.
If knees cave in it's no problem since they think it helps generate power.

They tell their lifters to do squats as deep as they catch cleans, not deeper nor higher.

I knew that about the knees they actually bring the knees in on purpose. I'm not sure about that I have read somewhere maybe it was the russians that go as low as can without butt wink.

Can you link me to the article that says they go as low as the clean an that is it?

As they all should have the flexibility to go as deep as they do in their cleans with their squats, but that doesnt mean that is why they only squat to that depth.....

Yeah I recognize that thing with the buttwink, not sure what region is was though ^^

I am not completely sure if it was some link from ATG or if it was linked on a swedish weightlifting forum, will PM if I find it!
