A good coach would leave the squat out of a S&C program, there is no need for it, I hate the term "functional Training" just another buzz word aimed at the masses to make the professionals appear like experts.
If one has a good structure for squatting, i believe a much lighter weight used in conjunction with the exercises you listed with very high rep's would garner better results.
yes, I agree. What is functional specificity is really the skills you must acquire to be good at a given sport.
As for weight training, I believe you should eliminate the risks, although I recognise that many greater non-lifting athletes enjoy lifting heavy weights.
For the athlete, they need to be complete, to be skilled, to be as strong as possible and most important, conditioned.
They can be of use to those who have quad dominant sports such as cycling and speed skating, but again they are more of an accessory to the main training.
Oh, and leg press is ghay cos is so easy and massages the ego. Ferk. I've seen guys use leg wraps on leg press. I chit you not.
Spot on.
Foot position on the leg-press
I'll write my thoughts on this later, and why this exercise got a bad name.
