I agree with Kane on the depth issue and all the great questions.

This once again, goes to show that the "fastest possible progression" isn't always the best. Rippetoes, ONCE AGAIN, gets someone hurt. And YES, it is the programs fault. Because if someone is encouraged to maintain quality movement and to improve movement plus do things that fix alignment AND to load properly, they won't get hurt so soon.

People should NOT be getting such injuries on a "beginning" program.

I'm sorry you were injured.

I would not suggest you just jump right back on the horse that threw you.

You have an "acute" injury but we can't say what the underlying faults were that led to it but it's probably safe to say that you "overloaded" and it was quite possible the mp's rather than the squats.

I'd suggest you take some rest. Then get moving again by implementing a dynamic mobility program. There are examples in the forums. A good mobility program, in itself, can go a long ways toward fixing a lot of faults "automatically".

I'd suggest you do core training OTHER than just squats and deads. The whole thing about deads and squats being the ONLY core training you need is simply macho bullshit. It's not how the body works.

You'll want static core work like planks and plank variations. And anti-rotation core work. And some rotation such as cable-wood chops or something along those lines.

You should watch Dan John's video which is posted on the site and watch it again. And again. That will teach you about how to do squats and how to move your body in general a lot better than Rippetoe.

All those questions posed by Kane are good ones. Please answer them. But any corrections made need to be made in a proper training environment. You cannot do that while pounding away trying to load aggressively on Rippetoes. HE would tell you different but HE will also not do a DAMN THING to help you past injuries.

He might write a sentence or two though.

I cant really do much more, besides making general recs, without a postural assessment, etc..

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
