Coach Kevin Carr joins Dr. Brett Scott to explore why back squats may not be ideal for most athletes, the benefits of unilateral training, and how smart programming and sprint timing can unlock peak performance.
TAKEAWAYS:
Unilateral training can be more effective than bilateral squats for many athletes.
