Rippetoe Style Squat and SI Joint problems

Medical Q&A [Moderated]
1

I was watching YouTube videos for information ( where I get most of my lifting daily knowledge intake ) and a avid (poster?) called " the muscle doc " suggested that the “rippetoe style” squat by that im assuming the lead with your hips aspect of the low bar squat was a SI joint injury waiting to happen?

do you believe that this style squat will lead to SI joint problem or have you seen many Si joint injuries happen while training this style squat?

He is not familiar with how we actually teach he squat.

We have collectively coached many thousands of lifters, without inducing a pandemic of “SI joint dysfunction”.
