Can squats be bad for your knees?
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Q: What is your opinion of deep knee squats for kids in high school and junior high? We have three athletes that have developed knee problems since starting a program that has been established by a former Olympic lifting coach. - Greg
A: Thanks for the question Greg. Because opinions are of little assistance in matters such as these, let’s start with the facts, which are numerous. Opinions just lead to arguments on the level of my “guru can beat up your guru”. First of all, any exercise analysis must be based upon determining potential risk weighed against potential benefit.
