Looks rough on the knees, no?
Of course they are.  Plus you have all those extra compression forces on your knees from kneeling on them while doing this to extreme flexion.  Sissy squats are even better than that.  His quads don't look too big.

the guy kneeling down isnt doing sissy squats, fucks sake mate...

I remember when I played rugby the coach wanted us to get in a full squat position and bounce across the pitch, I told him i wasnt doing it, he said if you dont then you dont play Saturday, I said "fair enough I wont play Saturday"
Come saturday he picked me anyway..

Awesome.

Funny when i remember "joswift" praised this guy in the video.
you sound like one of these idiots who do 1/4 reps on the bench press.

I watch all of his videos, they are really good. Great stuff when it comes to shoulders..

He's on target with a lot of this stuff. Some I disagree with.

If you want someone who really knows his stuff is this doctor of physical therapy who was the therapist for the Mets baseball team. You can catch his stuff on youtube on Athlean-X.  I wish I had someone like him to give advice to me through the years regarding what exercises are bad for your body. Bodybuilders just keep doing stuff because of tradition and as a result it seems everyone eventually gets the same injuries like those to the shoulder that are accelerated through unhealthy movements.  Zane, Draper, Arnold, Lou, Corney and a ton of others have shoulder operations. Did it need to happen?  How many bad knees, backs, hips and elbows? You can lower the percentage of getting these injuries by putting the odds in your favor by not following the same old bodybuilding traditions like pouring the pitcher dumbbell delt laterals and chest dumbbell flies. So much more than the two mentioned. I have a partially torn rotator cuff in one shoulder and a torn labrum in both. As a result I gave up the barbell bench, barbell incline and dumbbell flies for the most part. I found declines hit my chest better without any shoulder strain.

most people say Dumbbells are better than a barbell for decline press. I only do flat Barbell press & flat flyes & my upper chest is not bad. would it be better with inclines? maybe but i do not think itīs  worth it for me as i am not a competition bodybuilder. when i train heavy with flat barbell press i feel it sore in my upper chest too. After that i am too fried to do any heavy incline work. so it would not be productive.

I use dumbbells for declines because I work out alone and I can dump them if I get into trouble. From a physiological standpoint I'm not convinced inclines isolate the upper chest. I hear good arguments pro and con.  Maybe some day I will put a light weight on and do 50 reps to see what hurts the next day.  One thing for sure it's really hard on the front delt. Declines hit the chest really great with no shoulder strain.
