>b-b-but full squats are dangerous guise!
>With the same load configuration as in the deep squat, half and quarter squat training with comparatively supra-maximal loads will favour degenerative changes in the knee joints and spinal joints in the long term. Provided that technique is learned accurately under expert supervision and with progressive training loads, the deep squat presents an effective training exercise for protection against injuries and strengthening of the lower extremity. Contrary to commonly voiced concern, deep squats do not contribute increased risk of injury to passive tissues.

this. oly lifters are the best squaters on the planet and they have knee problems up the ass when they get older. not to mention that most of the /fit/ atg squaters just powerbomb to the bottom and put all the stress on their knees.

That's funny, because I train in an olympic lifting gym and there's plenty of old fags here that have competed for 20 - 30 years and have no knee problems.

Good for you, I know Oly lifters who have serious joint problems.
>>35348504
Some of them have joint problems, elbow and shoulder. it's unlikely that you can compete and train seriously for 15 - 30 years and have no issues. They just have no knee issues from squatting to depth.

There are ways to squat that aren't the correct form but allow you to lift more than you normal could using the correct form. The same is true of deadlifts. These methods place great strain on your joints. When you compete at the highest level, you use these methods. Thats why you might see some guy deadlifting a ridiculous amount of weight with inward bent knees.
