Nothing special

[Future]

I guess with the advent of being injured I face the fact that I need to really just lift at this point and work on developing my personal training business here. Anyway, here is a shot of me doing dips with 200 lbs.

This is a shot of my "dork squats" as I call them from a couple of weeks ago.

And I just thought this one was funny...I think some of us can relate to this from time to time.

what is your injury? I missed that. I was wondering where you were since I haven't seen you posting much lately.

Deep Squat

I do deep squats like that too. Although not that heavy. Any Danger in that?

I know future will chime in but all I can say is if it's not a full squat it's not a squat!! Full deep squats are the safest for your knees. The only danger as with any squat is losing your balance or rounding your back which will result in a serious back injury. I have always done deep squats, never had knee trouble. I only wrap on my heaviest set.

Anything can be unsafe if your body isn't ready for it or you use bad form or both. I have never had issues with the squatting. But I wouldn't tell someone that needed to go that deep but I do think it is the best way if you can safely accomplish the range of motion.

...injury was a small pull, possible tear in my back from deads on Saturday.
