SLDL form
When lowering the BB, are you supposed to go just a few inches below the knees or try and go as low you can to the floor?

I like doing them. After 24h, get ready to have sore hammies and feel like you got kicked in the butt by a mule

I go about 1 inch above the floor. I used to do them on a platform and touch the barbell to my feet.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I touch the floor lightly and bring the barbell back up. Of course, if you can't quite go to the floor, just keep going a little bit lower each workout until you can get there, but like it was said above, keep your back straight above anything else.
Push yourself. Enjoy yourself. Be yourself.
