When I talk ATG, I mean your standard positioning, feet just past or at shoulder width, feet slightly turned or at a position that is comfortable and squatting until you arse contacts with your calves, while maintaining the natural curvature of the spine.
None of this moving legs out to reduce rom and shit.
this single topic created huge internet wars lol.
people saying they squat ATG 200 posting endless vids and people replying that's only a half squat!
squatting is the key-stone to my workouts, but because I cannot full squat, I need to supplement with leg presses.
