1. I've seen many people that "squat" at various gyms. I rarely ever see anyone get below parallel. It might just be your form. I'm not saying that people at your gym don't know anything, but they might not be sure and are trying to err on the safe side.Seriously, anybody that wants to lift weights should check out "Starting Strength" by Mark Rippetoe for proper instruction on form for the major compound lifts. He goes into great detail about all of the details about the squat, deadlift, press, bench press, power clean, front squat, barbell row, incline bench press, barbell curl, etc. It's most certainly worth the money.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
1. I am not squating anymore. My knees kill me afterward. Sick of it. My form is correct according to the gym owner and others at the gym. I have always had knee issues though. I am done with it officially now.
2. Somebody assign me a chest workout for today. I will do it, something out of the norm if possible.
2. Not a workout, but take a look at this: http://www.dragondoor.com/articler/mode3/229/
Look at the planche progressions. They put an immense amount of stress on the chest.
