Good thread guys. This has been a topic of debate for me lately. My partner gives me a lot of crap for doing what he calls body builder squats. I don't go below parellel and he goes ass to heel. It's not so much my knees as much as my hammies. No matter what I've tried to do I cannot lenghten them. Genetic curse I've had for life. Even without the weight I just cannot do it. I'm 115 doing about 185 for reps. Now I can just say "oh I'm saving my knees". <img src="http://www.massmonsters.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->[/quote]


If he's going "ass to heals" lets check his lower lumbar in a few years... no reason to go below paralell... unless you really want to wreck your lower back.. if you need some help with the squats let me know.. might have some tips for ya, my hammies arn't great either.. but I can still push a little weight in the squat... let me know sis..
