It could be a slow lowering and setting the bar down as soft as to be completely silent, or you could simply drop the bar at the top. I've seen and done both, but I lift at an olympic training gym,...
No offense, but that's total bull****. Note that I'm speaking as someone who has shoulder issues and can keenly feel when there's any stress at all. The smith machine is useful only in that it offers...

Because they ignore everything except the tiny part they wish to focus on, devoid of any context, and then delude themselves into...
I didn't come up with much on this forum (or even online at all) concerning this squat variant. Has anyone used it with success in terms of hypertrophy and strength? How does it compare to, say, deep...
> I've never liked doing squats
That's not a good reason to avoid them. I'm not a fan of squats either because they're uncomfortable with my build. But I still do them because they've clearly been...

People have a tendency to focus on the least important things. Just work a little harder each time you go to the...
I have bursitis/tendonitis in my right shoulder, and back squatting makes it worse. However, I can front squat without issue. You might give that a try and see if the same thing works for you.
>Because I don't have the money to buy a squat rack.
At my gym, one of our squat areas consists of 6 plywood boxes stacked 3 on each side. All a squat rack needs to do is hold the weight at a...
> Hom much would an accurate food scale cost?
