Squats

[nathanlowe]

Just started my legs tonight and i was only doing squats with 10kg either side, as i wanted to make sure my form was spot on and i went well below paralell.

Is this better then doing 40kg and not going to paralell and having my knees jerk inside when going down and up ?

Think the way i did it tonight is best and progress that way.

Id class form before weight.

Form is paramount, forget the weight untill your form is good.

Agreed.

There's some great info re:squats in this book

Although partials have their place, I suggest going all the way down for maximum benefit when it comes to hypertrophy. More work and a greater range of motion is generally a good thing when it comes to growth. As well, you recruit more glutes and hammies when you go to a consistently proper depth.
