Nick,

If you are not flexible and/or have lower back problems, ‘undersquat’ movement will be a challenge to do.

If you have history of lower back problems you should be very careful.

First you need to address with the lower back issue. Postural therapy, massage or chiropractic should all help.

Kettlebell training will also do wonders for back strength and flexibility but you must be very careful to not to overdo it.

Too bad the counter stopped working about halfway through Johnny’s set. His athleticism toward the end of that 10 minute set was amazing, he practically dropped his ass to the ground to get under that bell.

Looking forward to part 2 of this series Denis. I’m curious when you say that whether you should use it is dependent on issues like flexibility and low back strength. Should less flexible people be more inclined or less inclined to try this method? What if you have a history of low back problems from sitting at a desk all day?

I can’t wait to have you here and experience your coaching. It doesn’t get much better than your class of instruction.

I’m working on getting some participants. I think a couple of my clients will do it too.
