Today's questions:

I’m an avid exerciser who lifts 4 days per week and runs 3 days per week. I've been seeing a lot of ads for these Zero Drop shoes and that somehow they are the best shoes to wear. My physical therapist once told me I had flat feet and I've always felt pretty good in a more traditional type running shoe or trainer but about 4 weeks ago my knee began bothering and I'm wondering if the marketed benefits of Zero Drop shoes might help?
Can you talk about different squat variation benefits and why you would or wouldn't choose a specific type of squat?
How do i fix my tight hamstrings?
What are some soft tissue recovery strategies or techniques that i can use to address some of my chronically tight or tender areas?
I have a desk job that challenges my posture all day five days a week, no matter what i do to fix it it seems to keeps getting worse. What specific exercises if any can i add to my workouts to overcome this?
I feel like i do a pretty good job programming my own muscle building workouts. As coaches, whats something that a lot of people might be overlooking in their exercise selection?
