I found these videos to be pretty informative. Rippetoe is prety legit. Nothing ground breaking or anything, but it's a nice refresher and interesting to see in a coaching context.

Good post.

But I just have to say that Mark spent a lot of time worrying about hip drive and lower back arching and didn't once address the spinal movement in the squat.

When teaching the hip drive most people tend to make goodmornings after trying to tell what you wanna see. Tim makes a good point which should be adressed imo
