Great link. Took a look at the authors and the number of articles, and there is a lot of good old school articles. John Grimek, Paul kelso, Bill Pearl, Bill Starr, ken Leistner .... recognized these a names right off the bat. Will be reading in this library a lot.
I am experimenting with one of his moves right now.
Hack slide,descend with your quads,rise with your hams.Knees angled out.
You don't need to go down very far.I put pressure on the heel and just squeeze the legs together
You would have to angle your knee out if you were going to do those. I watch the technique and the heels are right back to the back of the squat machine and the feet are close together. The knees are stuck way out there so you may feel a lot of sheering on the knees, however give it a try, probably start at a very moderate weight and work up to the point where my knees are good are still feeling good and I can really find that my quads and thighs r getting a good workout. I have always done leg work especially any type of squats with my toes turned out as I find it take the pressure of the knees a lot and it feel more natural to do it that way for me. Do you have an old school hack squat machine that allows you to get down as far as the video I looked at allows you to go? This link is kinda what your talking about?
That was the technique name I was looking for. Didn't Larry Scott do those as well? the knees would not enjoy this at all. My knees do not like when I use a narrow stand and let them travel out over my toes.
Similar but the movement only uses the squeeze from hams and adductors.Trying to take the quads out of it.
Pressure is off the knees going up.
One of two ham movements I am playing with right now,other being that Nautilus Hip Thruster
Well I figured I would bump this thread since Im plowing through books on nightshift. Working on yates newer book. " from the shadow"
Then Im moving onto Mike Mentzer " high intensity training "
Doesnt have to be bodybuilding related. I like investing books too. But maybe in the wrong section .
I have alot of books on pdf for free but still prefer a book made from a tree. A screen is just not the same

One of the best book I have read on training 'Never let go'. Changed the way I looked at training and how I trained.
I have tons of old martial arts mags and books hanging around too.
I also purchased powerlifting USA magazines dated back in the late 90's early 2000's. Great magazine, learned a lot about the westside method of training
Fuck Arnold. Hes a tool
he became a tool... but he got it all started, have to give him that. He still should have lost to Sergio Olivia in 1980 Mr Universe ( damn I am old )... he was so much more massive, however Arnold was Ben Weider's boy
He most definitely is but I liked the book it was pretty good.
