The toes forward controversy.
This week on Power Athlete Radio, John and Tex tackle the buzz surrounding the ongoing toes forward controversy. Does this mean you never vary your stance? What about unilateral lifts? What role to they play in improving performance and how might you implement then into your program?

Also, the PA crew explains some of the butthurt that has occurred as a result of a floor press demo video from a CFFB seminar that was recently released.
