Coaching provides the greatest chance of success in your endeavors. It helps to remove the pitfalls of trial and error by relying on someone that has been there, done that and learned what to avoid. Not just because they themselves have done it, but also because they have guided hundreds of not thousands of others through the proccess.

If you want to get started but you aren't sure how, reach out and let us help you.

What is "full depth" ?

When the apex of the hip crease passes below the top of the knee, you have achieved full depth.

What is "the apex" of the hip crease?

Well, and apex is defined as the highest point, the peak, OR pointed tip. When the hip creates a crease, that crease has a pointed tip. That pointed tip approximately the top of the thigh, where it contacts the hip, forming a crease in the worn clothing.

Now, obviously the clothing matters some- but, generally, the hip crease is plainly visible if you know what to look for.

Can you squat lower? Probably.
Should you squat lower? Probably not.

Most people will need to relax something in their body, or shift the center of mass to squat lower (in the lowbar squat). This is a disadvantage in our training goal.

Should you squat higher? In almost all cases: NO.

The chin-up is better than the pull up.

Starting Strength's underlying training philosophy is to choose exercises that recruit the most total muscle mass through a full range of motion. When it comes to upper body accessory exercises, the chin-up is the king of this philosophy. The chin-up's supinated grip recruits the biceps brachii in addition to the lats, upper back, and shoulders, it engages more total muscle than a pronated pull-up.

Rippetoe’s underlying strength philosophy is to choose exercises that recruit the most total muscle mass through a full range of motion. Because the supinated grip recruits the biceps brachii in addition to the lats, upper back, and shoulders, it engages more total muscle than a pronated pull-up.
