The Real Science of Squat Depth - AnabolicMinds.com
I've been squatting ATG for years and have no problems. I mean people that have been doing it longer than me have no problems as well. I thought it was the consensus that the people who were going 90 degrees were the ones that had more joint problems..?
In fact when I have tried 90 degrees I felt more strain on my knees and it only makes sense since the quads are used more with that ROM and all that strain is put on to the knees.
When you get to the bottom you get to use the help of all of your leg muscles to help drive up with the weight shifted to your hips when you get to that position which is designed much better for that amount of weight to be put on it
Am I crazy?
