In this episode Gerry gives a breakdown to a question he received from a coach on Twitter pertaining to improving squat numbers and the correlation to speed and athleticism.

To start, Gerry lists the factors that could impact the correlation of squatting and speed such as planes of motion, rate of force production and the impact of technical proficiency with the squat in particular.

From there, the conversation turns to specifics of each of these factors and how they can all have a great impact on the correlation of strength in a particular movement and improvements in speed or sport.
