    Locking Knees on the squat

    I have searched and read a few threads concerning locking the knees at the top of each rep of the squat. I am still unsure after reading the debates and responses on whether or not I should avoid doing it. Is it a bad thing or do you consider it not to be a problem? Thanks
    You know its time to do something about your body when you are getting bertstared on the regular

    its not how much u can lift, its rather how much you look like you can lift.

    Not a problem.

    Don't hyper-extend.

    IN before some knucklehead pt with a youtube channel and his own 'fitness' website posts about the dangers of exploding knee joints from "locking out."
    No brain, no gain.

    "The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon

    Where the mind goes, the body follows.

    Would it be a full squat if you didn't lock your knees?

    Hi, TheSpecial1.

    Locking the knees has many dangers. It is quite a long story with many details. It would be best to follow my Youtube channel, with many more instructional videos and tips.

    Have a nice day, lift well and prosper and subscribe!
