I guess this program is the happy medium between these two extremes!
I have a video of his and I think he is great....his workout for athletes made my core a LOT stronger! just my 2cents.

As for the squatting.....
I thought about this whole going beyond parallel thing while working out tonight.....just to check my form. Since I can't video myself doing these....can I just give a visual reference as to where I am going down to? There is a top notch for the safety bar and my bar touches that bar (so I moved it down) in case it was prohibiting me, AND to actually be a safety should I buckle. Does touching that bar qualify as beyond parallel? The only other choice is just to have someone from gym (or my sis) watch me and see if I am going below bc our mirrors stop at my waist level so I am can't see from there down anyhoo....

And lastly, my sis homeschools too. Mine aren't old enough yet, but I am throwing the idea around.....do you guys enjoy it? what curriculm do you use or find to be good? Just wondring, not trying to high-jack the forum discussion off fitness
