Nebraska and Squats

[Guest guest]

I don't think the Nebraska athletic program agrees with your assessment of

squatting and

athletic performance.

Squats and hang cleans are the core exercises upon which they build the strength

programs

for their athletes.

As the Husker Power web site (www.huskerpower.com) makes clear, there is more to

strength

and conditioning than squats and hang cleans, but these exercises are the

strength exercises

used to assess an athlete's preparedness.

And their squats are impressive.

### Of what record do you speak? There impressive record on the

Football field, or their impressive squatting record? If their players

all have impressive squats, then you perhaps have an argument, but

frankly there is no correlation between squatting strength and

performance on the field.
