I gave up on squats for 6 months, had some knee soreness from squatting heavy with phucked up form.....so I laid off for a while and concentrated on DL and leg presses. I decided to start squatting again after my knees getting better and reading on going ATF is easier on the knees than parallel. I started yesterday with the madcow 5x5 routine and whole shit!
I had forgotten what an awesome exercise squats are, what a pump and going down beyond parallel actually feels better on my knees!!!! even my abs were hurting. I am only doing 180lbs now (yea u can laugh) but want to start slow and concentrate on going deeper and keeping form tight instead of going heavy fast, after reading some advice of the posts.....
DL are great too but squats seem to work your whole freakin body, I guess is true when the say "if u aint squattin' you aint training"
