We have connected in the past, (I sent you a s/s of all the Masters I was coaching that completed the Kurt Jensen power profile set - 29 of them).
What I recall was a really interesting comment you made about the first muscle group that activates when performing squats; they being the Adductors, and their relationship with the Central Nervous System and firing of the glutes.
Hi Nick -- I'm not sure that was me. If it was, I can't remember what I said and I can't think of any specific thoughts about it right now. What you described is generally so biomechanically, as far as I know: adductors working more to stabilize in the bent-knee bottom position and glutes working more to extend the hip through the middle and upper ROM. I'm not sure about a CNS connection.
Great news update with a ton of stuff to dive into. Thanks, and have a great summer.
Cheers, Paul! You too.

Do have any further detail on this?
Kind regards..................Nick

I have written about why I don't talk about glutes and other anatomical actions on the water here: https://rowingstronger.substack.com/p/strength-coach-thoughts-on-the-drive-2a1
