Q&A with ASC Pro Strongman Derek Poundstone

[tjoe]

hi Derek
do you think doing deep narrow stance squats help strongman better or wide power squats, or do you do both,
thanks

I know you asked Derek (and I know he'll answer later) but I would say wider stance AND front squats also. Aside from an actual squat event, most strongman events have the weight in front of the body (think stones, carries etc.) Front squats will mimic that feeling mor than back squats.

Derek - How was that vaca? Did you hit 325lbs? And how do you feel about the Mohegan event (physically speaking)?
