As many of you know, I decided not to post on this forum very often for a reason, but I have to admit that I need to step out and give a nod to the May 2008 issue of PM. Fantastic stuff.
The Tumbling Warm-up reminds us that this form of training has long roots in S and C. Great article and any article that mentions Coach Reeves deserves a read. Rut's articles...which I still make mandatory along with Bill Fox's classic "Black Box" article...is the reason I still look forward to everything he writes. I also enjoyed the fact that Greg looked intelligently at the low back squat point. I would add one other point: no elite O lifters (at least in my experience or my reading) do Low Back Squats. True, there might be exceptions, I just haven't seen them in the films of any of the top five in recent Olympics.
So, hats off and I still tell people that PM is one of the few (very few) things worth subscribing to...
