just like pulling arms out all the way on bench isnt the best option, its not the best for squat to lock out the knees, if youre interested in muscle growth.

i can do somewhat proper form squats with 400lbs, but chose to do very slow and deep and no locking out knees for high reps with 220.

heavy fake swinging squats will only destroy knees, backs and make the waist grow unnessarly.

if your lower back moves around during squats, youre doing it wrong, as in, too much weight.
Great post..great minds think alike  ;)

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.

Falcon: Post some RECENT pics of your fat ass physique. I'm tired of hearing how great you're supposed to be. You might have been something five years ago but take a look in the mirror. You're NOTHING now. Post 'em, fool.

That's not really a "call out".  Basically, you're just begging Master Falcon to post up some man porn for you.   :D

Those photos are all old. The past is meaningless. Falcon: post new pics, if you dare.

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

Hindu squats?  Great for conditioning.

Keeping the pressure off the joints may help them in later life, Falcon knows this so probably trying to not put pressure on the joints I assume.

If Falcon at his peak would have landed on another planet the local species would have adopted the Falcon principles as their 10 commandments.
