hi guys just want to ask about your squat starting position and end position on knees, do you guys lock your knees and legs straight or do you have a slightly bent knees while having your butt out. I dont see it clearly in the book andn i some of the vids. thanks guys. Rip says to finish standing up does this mean that i should lock my knees and make my legs straight?

Always keep the knees bent, just slightly. Never lockout .Originally Posted by tuh888

I gotta agree never lockout completely this hyperextends the knee and will eventually lead to some major issues that you do not want. I poke my butt out right before I descend into the rep then at lockout and bring my hips back forward but I never slam my knees into lockout.

As long as your not viololently locking your knees, you should be fine.
