86. Why Back Squats Don’t Build Athletes? With Mike Boyle and Andreas Öhgren

When two of the most successful coaches in the world sit down, you listen.

In this powerful and brutally honest conversation, Andreas Öhgren and Mike Boyle challenge everything you thought you knew about performance, strength, and athletic development.

• Why back squats don’t build athletes, they break them

• Why barbells have become a religion?

• Why the internet created more noise than knowledge, and why most coaches just copy dumb people

• Why unilateral strength are far more important for real performance

• What the industry completely misunderstands about pain, rotation, and functional movement
