This is damn funny.

Lolol

Smarty McFly lmaooo. Accurate

That's (probably unintentionally) a very mean comment.

I screwed my SI joint from squatting, healed now but I realised that I was squatting wrong for my build.

It's likely a loading issue.

vitriol or debate any citations or?

Usually has to do with something moving that's not supposed to be moving. Low back rounding at the bottom, or overextension at the top getting straightened out as you get to the bottom. What the kids call "butt wink." Point is, it's not that squats are inherently dangerous at all.

vitriol or debate ugh no from me dawg

You'll be safe setting them about right over your toes. They may be a little beyond. There's nothing inherently dangerous about that. Just try to keep them still once they're set at the beginning of the squat.

They can, it's only bad if you half squat

Of course.

@@startingstrength so why not mainly train those if you're already doing deadlifts? Knees are like any other joint--if you don't abuse them, they'll be fine

​@@mariomolnar3184 Think about this: Can you low bar squat more weight than you can high bar squat or front squat? What's the job of the knees in any squat variation? What muscles operate the knee joint? Does any squat variation change the nature of the movement enough that the knees are doing something different? If not, does high bar squatting 365 work the "knees" more or does low bar squatting 405 work the "knees" more? Which produces the biggest overall stress? After all, that's what we're looking for and not to work a specific body part. Does a 365 high bar squat fit better in a program designed for overall strength or does a 405 low bar?

@@startingstrength This answer contradicts the instruction in the video, which ruled out high bar and front squats by claiming the knees would drive forwards if you didn't bend your torso low. So according to the video, the knees do something different in high bar and front squats. I'd actually disagree with that, if your core is strong enough you can still establish your knees on your way down and still keep your torso upright.

@@onurbole7921 Nope. That's not what was said in the video.

KOT guy dispells the myth that knees over toes is bad for knee health. That has _nothing_ to do with the coaching here. In the low bar squat, keeping the knees from going too far forward is not for knee health, but to keep the hamstrings operating a peak power.

butt wink

As porky implied, "you were doing it wrong".

A lot more than you do, keyboard warrior
