some years ago I started having knee pain during runs and the doc said that there is nothing to be done and I should run less. instead I started squatting and shortly after the pain went away forever. everyone who doesn't believe in the power of squat is lying to themselves. your matchstick legs are a self-delusion.

You should hop on the afflicted leg right into his office and punch that doctor in the kidney.

squats are fine if you have proper form it's not that complicatedcanpakes posted:Lmao at the idea that injury can be avoided with "the right form." There is no "right form" of totally unnatural lifts that the body is not meant to do involving the absurdly complex and wear-probe knee joints never mind the loving spinal column. Literally every decent lifter is a walking list of health problems because of these two dumb exercises in particular, aka the Reddit goon exercises. "absurdly complex" we're not talking about professional lifters you retards we're talking just normal exercise. don't slam 2-3 plates onto your squat bar and you'll be fine.

Toadvine posted:I tore my meniscus playing soccer one summer at camp, that sucked and has made me extremely wary of pushing my leg(s) too far. Leg press is probably much worse for your knees if you have an injury, since at least with squats there are a bunch of other muscles limiting how heavy you can go and maintain form. With leg press it's just your legs, so people are much more likely to go too heavy too fast.

if you have enough oxygen in your brain to worry about whether or not your knees are locking out and proper form you quite obviously aren't lifting heavy enough

Don't be that top-heavy guy with toothpick legs, OP. That said, low weights, hi reps. Our legs weren't designed to lift 300 lbs or whatever. That's why big NBA and NFL players always have knee, leg, and foot problems when they get older - their giant bodies are too big for their own good.

Lol if that's the range you think is dangerous. im talking about regular normal people shitbrains. an average person doesn't go in and start squatting more than their own weight every time there's a lifting thread it's a bunch of people worried that exercise will shatter their brittle bones and a bunch of people humble bragging about their sweet gains

Quibbling over "2 to 3 plates" is silly because that can mean anything from like 1lb to over 600lb.

"a plate" usually refers to the 45 lb plates "3 plates" is 3 plates on each side, plus the bar which is also typically about 45lb for a total of 315lbs. or 225lb if you're doing 2 plates. Which yeah if you're lifting frequently that's not that much but if you're wondering about form and busting your knees don't do that much weight.

Gonna go load up the bench with ten pounders and tell people I can bench 10 plates When people are talking about lifting some particular amount of weight I've only ever heard them give it in kg or lb except for that weird Russian unit kettle bell uses. If you like to give it in multiples of 45lb then go for it, you shouldn't consider it an offense to your honor.

It's because 45 lb plates is the only weight people give a poo poo about. Nobody is impressed by the collection of little bonus saucers and donuts you got dangling on the end of the bar.

Alls I'm saying is better to start small and move up if you're worried about knee problems or something. Men aren't the only people doing squats either.

A goon went to the ER from doing deadlifts. The stupidest and most dangerous exercise that there is in existence. Hell I could have given the kid some advice. Don't do deadlifts because they are extremely dangerous. Now he has permanent health problems because of the stupid exercise that he did.
