    So deadlift, bench press, squat, row, and do sit ups 3 times a week? No. I understand the need to learn new lifts by getting the form down first, but that's ridiculous.

    He obviously didn't...it's basically the bill starr/madcow intermediate routine..at the beggining.

    5 times a week? not so much a fan or believer.

    No, it says squat or dead. This isn't my kind of workout because the loads are too light. 3 times a week would be ok but 5 times is too much IMO.

    I think Mike Mahler knows what he's talking about. A lot of people would do well to listen to him.
    A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook
