you look like a giant pussy because you're cheating the movement

first article in the conclusion
> training the squat in the functional range between 0 and
50° knee flexion may be appropriate for many knee rehabilitation
patients

>not training stabilizer muscles before going full smash
You probably don't even stretch train.

1. if you can distribute force through your hips and knees, you will save your knees some heat
2.it's the natural range of motion for people, ATG that is
3.they're an overall greater mass builder than half squats
4.helps build up your hamstrings, and gloots

ATG helps point out a number of flaws with the Lower kinetic chain, also you looks like

>if you can distribute force through your hips and knees
Which they could.. unless their hips are underflexible or undertrained.
Moderation.

This image is good to explain the forces and emg at different degrees, and from this you can see why only squatting to where you have Max shearing force through the knee is stoop

What is this the 1900s?

You can't use your half squat number as your actual squat number. Half squats actually helped me, though. When I struggled with certain weights, I would half squat and move up in weight. I was still getting stronger, just not on the entire lift, but eventually those same weights I could only half squat I could do ATG. My knees never felt like they were being destroyed but who knows? Listen to your own body.

What so bad about only having half a dick?
>>35297509
the fuck is emg?
and why does sheer force dissipate after 90º?

Range of motion

I really love quarter front squats with 125% of my full front squat max,
Makes my working sets seem light and trains my upper back.

you only train your quads. you might as well fucking leg press if u half squat
>>35296877
could watch this all day, except for the photobomb faggot at left
>>35297149
Do most people who quarter squat do it with low weight as part of rehab?
>>35296877
This form is triggering. Would actually make me not want to fuck if a girl does that. Rather not know.
>>35296953
Some one told me that doing half squats, or partial squats help strengthen the ligaments in the knee to help with heavier lifts .... Is this true? Because it sounds dangerous to me. Anything above the knee sounds like a no-no
>>35305844
there's no really use to it unless you're competing
just lift full rom as much as you can and you'll have the ligament strong enough to do so.
it could be helpful to progression to get over mental barrier and such shit just like soulcrushers

Depends on the rehab. Normally you should be starting with body weight to slowly elongate the muscles to allow full RoM. At the the clinic I worked at we wouldn't start really strength work until they reached about 120 degrees of knee flexion.
same thing wrong with half bench press, you are being a fucking pussy.
>>35297509
Which angles should the chair be adjusted to for maximum ass-growth and which angles are for maximum not fucking up your knees.
>>35308867
>cable leg press
absolutely disgusting.
no incline leg press at your gym or something?
>>35310406
There is, I'm just a pleb though. What is wrong with cable leg?
