Jump in 2 minutes, 30 seconds.

Platz is often said to squat "ATG". I am NOT criticizing his depth, but it doesn't look "ATG" to me. More like a "parallel" squat which, with such a narrow stance and high bar position is still pretty damned deep.

I am NOT criticizing

I just want a discussion.

Remember, parallel is a very different word when you're talking a narrow stance squat. Parallel is thus very deep. For many people, a rock bottom CLOSE stance high bar squat would be just slightly below parallel.

Exhibit one, platz in action:

Good luck. You won't find a download source. I'm convinced they search the net all over, and fans would report it if they found it for downloading somewhere.

That's the safety of selling DVDs at 100 bucks a piece... as opposed to mass or even just "medium" marketing.

More proof that Platz is an annoying and stupidass insane polesmoker.

He appears these days to resemble a cranky, burnt-out hippie with a fried brain from dropping too much acid. Talks gibberish and his videos look like they're shot in the style of the Blair Witch Project, unintentionally.

Ummm, have you talked to him personally? He is a very inteligent man, and knows his stuff. I had the privelige a few years back at the Olympia expo to talk to him for a few minutes. Very polite, and down to earth. Didn't seem like a man with a fried brain who talked gibberish to me.

No, I'm going simply by the almost comically bad videos he produces and the stuff he says on them. I also haven't said that he's unintelligent, simply that he appears somewhat cranky and 'weathered'. Maybe it's the Cali lifestyle.

The fact you talked to him at an expo for a minute and he was nice to you has led me to completely change my mind on what I just said anyway.
