How deep do you squat? - eazy - 04-19-2014

I don't have the best knees so i dont squat weekly but when i do I believe it puts less pressure as I'm not stopping in a position where they are under the most stress.

Also I feel I benefit more from the full ROM.

Some believe that once you go parallel, there's no real difference.

just passed parallel, I don't do mega heavy squats because of my knees, I save heavy fot the leg press

Deep. I have no intention of snapping any tendons or dropping the bar on my neck so never push squats to the same limit as say barbell rows or shoulder presses so going deep isn't going to cause any problems. I also think it's more productive. For me anyway.

Depends on the weight. I usually do up to 315 at or below parallel, anything above 2-3 inches above parallel. Same as others, bad knees. I've tried to slow down my reps to help combat the problem and do one week no more than 315, the next 405, the next as heavy as I can go. But again, that last week the squat is always above parallel.
