Not going all the way up seems to save the knees? on squats

[Johnny Falcon]

im doing a squat workout with 135 im getting good depth but i find a hole lot less friction on knees if i dont do all the way up.. this tennds to get a good pump along the back glutes and legs. ive always had great quads but nothing showing on hams, im also a shitty jumper aswell

I got 29 reps rest paused, probably coulda done more but im trying out another poundcake recipe i have in the oven (eggless)

[Johnny Falcon]

squats=stauqs

stalks=legs

stalks are also good for stalking fine assed hoes

[Purge_WTF]

I read that you take the stress off of the muscles and put it onto the joints when you straighten your legs/arms during he rep. Stands to reason.

why are you not working?

[Tito24]

all the way on her knees

[Jadeveon Clowney]

baking and squatting = nwt orking

nwt orking = not working!

[da_vinci]

all the way on her knees

Geez.. Is there more of her?

I've always felt the last 1/8th of the movement is not really necessary for squats. Its all hip flexors at that point. The negative portion where your ass is in the hole is the sweet spot. Same goes for DB flyes, etc.

[anabolichalo]

if you care about your back stay away from squats

[Chiro Flex]

if you care about your back, do squats properly.

I find parallel is best with squats but i have also got good results from partial squats. Db flyes....i agree but i like to bring the Bells together and squeeze and i am sure it helps. Coming up and stopping just before lockout is brutal(squats).

do bodyweight squats but try touching knuckles behind or at heels at bottom

part of combat conditioning course by soem bald guy

my legs didnt let me walk for 4 days after 100

[Chiro Flex]

ok 

Prove me wrong with some scientific literature if you feel strongly enough, I'd love to hear another view than what they teach us in grad school in the USA.

plenty of people who squat with PERFECT form manage to one day get major back injury with even a light weight using perfect form

"Plenty of people" who have never touched a weight in their life manage to develop chronic low back pain and associated pathologies as well.

Everyone who drinks water, also eventually dies.

There is nothing biomechanically compromising to your spinal erectors by going through flexion/extension under an appropriate load. Your body was designed for it. In fact, as an almost graduate with a doctorate in my field, I'm entirely convinced that squatting and dead lifting with proper form would alleviate many, many symptoms of chronic lower back pain and would help to further stabilize the spinal column. Like I said, please correct me if you have literature suggesting otherwise. This "squats are dangerous" nonsense is crazy talk.

Last point brother...

So many of the spinal dysfunction issues we see can be correlated directly to improper muscular balance (weak glutes, hams, erectors, abdominal muscles). It makes sense that strengthening these through the proper movements would eliminate many of the issues we see and restore proper function to these joints.

Also, you need to cut out heme-iron from your diet.

squats and deadlifts actually cause this imbalance so that makes sense

no amount of crunches is going to make up for the massive imbalance in force couples these moves generate

False bro

Yes, this.
