It would be like you you did bench and just stopped half way to your chest every rep and then wondered why your elbow hurts. If you can’t go atg without back rounding just squat with body weight only.
Squatting to parallel is bad for your knees

Nah, you'll be fine
How do I not destroy my knees with bulgarian split squats?
start with appropriate lower volume and build work capacity. as with any exercise.
>maximum compressive forces
on what?
I'm gonna guess lumbar spine.
Not squatting to maximal depth is beyond retarded unless you're a powerlifter.
I get where you're coming from but your conclusion is wrong
>If you can’t go atg without back rounding just squat with body weight only.
If you can't squat ATG then don't squat with no weight. Do hack squats or smith squats or pendulum squats. Do you think guys who can't squat deep without lower back rounding should just be relegated to small thighs? I think not.
If you do thousands of reps you’ll be just as good as someone squatting 3 plates
>if you can't do a2g squats do half squats instead
God is everyone on this website a fucking moron?
STOP
GIVING
ADVICE
can you elaborate. also what does your pick have to do with anything?
Inability to A2G tends to be a mobility issue more than it is a lack of strength. people with low mobility end up butt-winking which causes them to lose their brace at the bottom of the squat and their strength along with it.
Hack squat machines take most of the need of mobility and stability out of the equation (since you're supported by a sled) so you can focus on knee flexion.
Imagine putting a heavy weight right at the top of your delicate spine kek what could go wrong
>your delicate spine
yours will be forever, NGMIanon
As you get older you will give up squatting when either you injure yourself, or self preservation and longevity instincts kick in at a certain age of maturity. Only midwit ego lifting retards keep squatting heavy when they get old. You won't believe this because you are probably a zoomer who thinks he is invincible and will live forever. I excuse old people who squat for sporting competitions like powerlifting.
CALL 911
That's a lot of cope from someone who's just a weak gay who is mentally retarded
It's not cope, you will find out when you get older.
I won't because im not retarded and weak like you
>I won't because im not retarded and weak like you
Brother in Christ just kill yaself
>T. Squatter
You are going to give up squatting one day in the future and there is nothing you can do about it.
You can say this for literally any hobby/activity you mouth-breathing moron
>heavy
What is heavy?
I am 30, didn't lift for a decade. Started lifting again around 10 months ago, squatting 5 months ago. After reaching 2pl8+ high bar near ATG for reps, which I took my sweet ass time building up to parking the weight at any significant form deviation, I noticeably feel much stronger and sturdy in every day activities. My balance has become better, when I walk around I feel like a spring ready to pounce at any moment.
Because I agree about the part about chasing monstrous PL style 1 rep maxes, I will probably park my squat somewhere around 3 to 4 plates for reps. But your advice reads as not doing squats at all, which is terrible advice.
Whats "heavy" is relative. Overuse is another thing, it would be retarded for a 60+ y/o boomer with no base to do SS for instance. My father however took up a 4 day split plan around the big lifts and loves it.
Monday: Squat + hamstring/low back iso
Tuesday: Bench + triceps/back iso
Thurs: Deadlift + light squats
Friday: OHP + light bench
that's a standard U/L setup, however
>boomer
>no curls
is your father okay, anon?
no back/biceps?
That's an impressive amount of absolute horseshit in one post. Please do not reproduce.
He should've done two more reps.
afaik ronnie's spinal injuries were caused by deadlifts
ronnie's spinal injuries were from doing RPE11 and pushing beyond his limit in attempt to reach even further beyond. sure man came a legend but he also burned like Icarus flying too close to the sun.
He herniated his lower spinal disc from an injury that he got while playing american football. It only got worse as he went into bodybuilding and never properly, fully treated it, but squats were never the reason he got his spine fucked in the first place.
The bar goes on your delts thoughever
>It would be like you you did bench and just stopped half way to your chest every rep
Like a spoto press?
A spoto press is 1 inch off the chest, not halfway down. Unless you’re a chump with 2 inch range of motion, in which case, you’re still a gay.
Your butt can't keep up with heavy weights too far past parallel and people end up fucking their lower backs permanently.
Why not just do front squats? Let's you go atg easier and moves the load from your lower back to your core.
i do both front and back squats atg and i can do atg more easily on back squats
If smal miccritears nake msyckes greo stringer then big teRs must make them lot strihger!
I can't go atg because of my massive quads are fucking massive
It’s safer retard
You’re just angry because you saw someone use more weight than you
