Re: cbloom\'s log - Rippetoe & Frozen Shoulder
cbloom's quote from another thread:
[ QUOTE ]
Personally I'm not sure if there's really a lot of benefit to doing ATG instead of just going down to parallel. I know the experts tell you to go ATG, but if it's not comfortable, is it really a big deal if you just go to parallel?

Wasn't sure whether I should address this here or there, so I chose here.
I get way more activation of the hamstrings, glutes, and even the groin muscles when I go deep past parallel. The other benefit is that by going deeper, it naturally forces my hamstrings to stretch and helps me work on some of my flexibility issues. You seem to disagree about this though?
