I agree that one person's view may not be conclusive... as PH stated... I also see where Nate is coming from on the whole form issue.
However, I don't think that PH was attacking your integrity Nate. We know you are a trainer out in CA, and that you know your shit, there is no doubt about that. As a fellow trainer, you would also never try to give advice to people that is wack or bunk. I truly think you have intentions to help people with every post you make on this forum, or at least enlighten them to what you have learned in the past or have picked up along the way though your training.
I agree with PH... I mean, Jay Cutler is a great bodybuilder in my opinion... probably one of the best in the game, but those of you familiar with his workouts would probably never do them... as they tend to have "sloppy" (figuratively) form.
Sure, PL Squat puts more stress on the lumbar spine than the knees... and the BB squat does the opposite. -- are either incorrect? no. Just different ways to get to a goal.
Just like people who might do thier barbell rows at a higher angle than bent all the way over... if they are targeting their upper backs... then they are doing it correctly... however, if they wish to be hitting their lats, and aren't bent over correctly... well... then we have some form issues...
But basically... well... frag it.
