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

[Marty Champions]

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)

[Marty Champions]

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?

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.

[Big Chiro Flex]

if you care about your back, do squats properly.

Fixed to correct retarded bro-logic.

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

[Big 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.

[Big Chiro Flex]

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.

[Big Chiro Flex]

believe what you want


i dont give 2 shits

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.

ATG squats = full movement = winning

[Big Chiro Flex]

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


anyway to win olympia you only need big arms

False bro

[Big Chiro Flex]

ATG squats = full movement = winning

Yes, this.

[Big Chiro Flex]

most people over 5'8" or so are not built for it

More brutal bro-science...oh brother

I tell you, honestly, the only time I get lower back pains is when I stop deadlifting, a month without deadlifting and my lower back
is at me.

Squatting is bad for your knees if you dont go at least parallel, I think if you do quarter reps the knees will take the brunt of it, below parallel
its the glutes and hams, could be wrong though but I ve never had knee issues.

I agree with this post, I'm the same way.

Agree guys but has anyone ever done 21´s on squats like say Bicep curls? would be intensity 100% you would have to modify it but would it work?

[Donny]

training maybe the lower and upper ranges of a squat... hit all stages ...lower ,middle, and just before lock out with strong emphasis on each position and not just one movement.

Sure, why not, I guess you could do 21s on any exercise, well maybe not deads, I imagine doing 21s on squats would be pretty brutal, try this..

10sets of 10reps with 60sec rest between sets and increasing the weight in every set, you ll have to do it a few times to know where your at weight wise but its a killer.
