We have cut back squats our of our programmign and using dumbbell squats using tempos and complexing them with single leg squats on stability days. There really is not a tremendous need for young ballplayers to be compromising back health and integrity to maximize load since the carryover doesn't appear to significant to improvements in performance, after all, the goal is to perform better. Hope this helps.

Who ever said using a maximal load was the correct way to squat for an athlete whose goal is force production?
