Hi Arvilla - it was an old MuscleMag Int'l interview - he said that ever since he first started training, when he squatted, he would always go forward on his toes such that his heels would come off the ground.

If I recall correctly (this is > 10 years ago!), what was interesting was that he said he did NOT usually do the typical trick of putting 5-10 lb plates under his heels, but just squatted like that!!! I.e., each rep, his heels would come off the ground a little!

He noted that everyone thought it was weird + dangerous, but he had gotten used to it + had no problems w balance.

Sorry - not 100% sure this is accurate, but the overall concept definitely true - it was 1 of the few bb-er interviews where something unique + interesting was said, so it stuck in my head.

Hmmmm..................i always tell my clients to make sure that there heels do not come off the ground
(push off thru your heels)  just goes to show there is no "right way" to train!

Still looks good!!!From flexonline:
First as I just opened, I got a blast from the past as none other than Dennis Newman came in out of nowhere to say Hello, he had not been in Venice in 5 years, he was living in Vegas for a while and now moved to Salinas, Ca to do personal training, the guy has not been training, eat only 3 meals per day and look like this??
Just goes to show you that Genetics are everything!
 
I believe what you say. But I dont believe that he has not been taining.

you should send him a picture of yours along with a training routine and show him how it's done, "bigpoppa". ::)
