Hi,
This post is in reference to the article published by Mike Robertson & Geoff Neupert “Olympic vs. Powerlifting Squats” on T-Nation site:
T NATION - The Best Strength Training and Bodybuilding Articles, Workouts, and Supplements to Help You Get Bigger, Stronger, and Leaner!
I am trying to do the phases for squatting deep but somethings there I have never heard of. The following sentence from the article I do not know off:
“Gluteals/Deep 6: Seated spinal twist and standing/seated figure-4”
“Hip Flexors: Standing/kneeling hip flexor stretch with and without psoas bias (lateral torso flexion away from the stretched side)”
For the first one, what is Deep 6 and “figure-4”? Is this some exercise? I cannot find it anywhere on the net.
The second one, if someone could explain what they mean that would be great. Thanks heaps, appreciate it!

the first one is a muscle that is part of the butt, and figure 4 probably shows it to you
the second one is showing the difference between the stretch with cheating and strict.
figure-4 does not seem to relate to a pic. because there seem to be none that can be referred to?
