[QUOTE="Socrates, post: 1167136, member: 36964"] That is incredibly incorrect. The easiest way to injure yourself squatting is to not go below parallel, and end up with progressively heavier weights that you can't properly manage. That's why people end up with copious knee wraps, "squat suits" and these other contraptions to mask the fact that they're cheating the system just to pump up the numbers. If you can't squat it below parallel, you can't squat. You can either drop into place with the weight, or you can't. You shouldn't need someone monitoring you and yelling "UP!" as soon as you hit 90 degrees. Same with the clowns that only bench to a couple inches above their chest. If you're in it for looks, and how it makes your Instagram pictures look, then do whatever you want. But legit is press to chest, PAUSE, then up. That being said, I carry heavy weights at shoulder level whenever possible (anything 40-70), if i know I'm walking a ways or can't use a hand cart (up carpeted stairs, etc.) [/QUOTE]
