Deep squats hurt knees?

[boogyman]

For what its worth, I have terrible knees, and they actually feel better after doing deep squats. While I don't go ATG, I go pretty close, well below parallel. I used to a little deeper, but I have a sciatica problem and if my knees get to close to my chest there is a sharp pain. This also prevents me from doing even light leg presses.

NYiron, It is very nice of u NY to give the man instructions.
But, funny, it reminded me of a joke - a letter to mom:
"Dear mom. I know u do not read well; so I will write SLOWLY". :-)
Just curious: do u know that u could type the address ?

Excuse me? I'm missing what you are getting at as far as the joke. Also what address am I typing?

^ I was thinking the same thing haha wtf.

I actually talked to guy (not the one who made the comment on 90 degrees) and hes been telling me that he prefers it if you can get full ROM in movements where possible to do so. When I told him that the other physiologist had a differing oppinion on where to stop, he wouldnt comment on it (probably because it was his boss).

So anyway, thanks for the insight, cleared things up for me; deep squats it is.

Love myself deep squats. When I do high bar I go down until my thighs hit my calves.

Hahaha I dont believe he really knew what he was saying either. Based off of both of his posts, in here, the one to me and the second to butrybench, neither had anything to do with what either butrybench or I had said.

Anytime, you are very welcome.
