It should be no surprise why the squat leads to so many knee and back problems. The powerlifting squat where you load it and only go down to parallel is butchering the natural movement pattern. The natural squatting pattern is one that goes atg and is unloaded. When powrrlifters stop at parallel they are missing half of the movement. And even if they were to go lower, the lower you go the more compromised your lower back will be with all that weight.
squats arent natural for everybody anyways. it comes down to anatomy
>>75729750Why I do high rep low weight full ROM squats. Legs should be trained for muscular endurance anyways.
>>75729758it's a Caucasian thing
>>75729952Brother I am the whitest man in the world, I'm a combination of Celtic, Nordic and Germanic, and I'm 6'6 with long legs even proportional to my height. My OHP used to be higher than my squat. I worked on it more and got it up a bit, but I still can't even do 2pl8, 1.5 causes me discomfort and feels very unnatural. Some people are just not built for squatting.
>>75729750Do you guys squat whilst having your heels up on a plate or notI started doing it a month or two back after doing two years without it and I kinda prefer it more I think
>>75729758I have long torso and long femurs, I suck at squats
>>75729758who the fuck has those proportions?t.limbs and torso all have the same length
>>75729758>>75730610jack hanma on the left
I cut off all the bloodflow to my legs when I deepsquat.
>>75729758Even with short legs and long torso you'll run into problems. It's the most technical lift of the powerlift and the one where you can fuck up the most.
There is no reason to ever do any non-work exercise that isn't a hammer curl.Gyms are a scam.Cardio is a work, imagine running yourself to death when you could do some curls and lie down
