« on: July 26, 2010, 01:21:51 pm »The danger I was talking about is from athletes trying to wait too long to put the feet down, reaching out further than they are capable, and landing on "locked" knees. There are many cases of this and Ive seen several at combines myself during broad jump tests.
The reason your squat hurts your knees is because your using so much forward knee travel. In a properly performed, below paralell squat, the glutes feel like they almost completely take over until about midway up. You are essentially performing a hip thrust up to that point if you think about it. Your squatting technique wont permit you to drop the hips low enough below your kneecaps to experience this. When you go lower it requires even more forward knee travel, hence your increased pain. Ive already tried to explain to you that this "pretty" squat you have in your head that a 4 foot 5 Chinese olympic lifter wearing weightlifting shoes performs is not going to be the optimal squatting position for taller, longer limbed guys like us. Long legs, short torso, you are going to have to create some forward lean to squat correctly. Its really that simple, long torso/short legs- can stay very upright, short torso/long legs- need some forward lean. Neither is better and neither is worse. Whats bad is when a long leg/short torso lifter like you tries to emulate a perfectly upright torso position, causing crazy forward knee travel, or a long torso/short leg lifter tries to lean forward too much causing too much low back activity. Their torso is a longer lever than ours, they have to keep it upright.
Good post.
Yeah definitely, what Lance is saying makes a lot of sense so I totally agree with him. But the low bar squat is an enigma to me.

You bring up the knee pain from landing deep... but isn't deep squatting doing the same thing to the knees. I really can't get this "a full squat is a safe squat" stuff... I mean, the knee starts to being pulled as into a separation force when the femur gets lower than the knee...
For example, if I try to squat right now with my knee injured it's not that bad until I get lower than parallel. If the glutes would take over etc from that point on, how come my pain increases when lower than parallel? I never got this one.

Yes but say you're very strong grip-wise and apply that strength to a slippery ball. The result of that will be the ball will fling out of your hand because the more power you apply to it, the more it has a chance to fly out. So you need to actually apply less strength and go up gingerly with a slippery ball.
