For Those That Do Partial Squats


Please Discuss. Picture related.

Leme guess, you don’t do board presses and high box squats either.

Partial squats are pretty hard core man, more weight can be used in partial squats than probably any exercise.

if your knees aint bendin’
your just pretendin’

I used to blindly think that squatting above parallel was stupid. I soon realized that there are benefits, mostly for powerlifters. You are able to use more weight, which will be a nice carry over to an actual meet because you will be accustomed to having heavier weight on your back. Also, the heavier weights overload your body more and may cause a different training effect resulting in greater strength and muscle gains.

People who I see squat in my gym all squat high and would be well served to learn how to squat properly, but at least they’re squatting.

And I thought people could joke about something. I was mistaken. My attempt at a joke failed.

MikiB, I do board presses when I train in a shirt (thats the staple of my shirt training), and I have used high box squats to help train in my suit when I use one that requires it. You were dead wrong.

Oh well… no more funny threads.

Picture related. :wink:

My e-sense of humor sucks.

Edit: Can’t upload pictures, LOL!

The only funny jokes at T-Nation are at others expense.

Now if this thread was about a 130lb metro guy in a pink polo with a popped collar asking how to cut so he can be ripped like Bruce Lee, then it would be funny.

Oh the irony!

I laughed, if that makes you feel any better.


Since we’re all posting (un)related images…

I just read in a recent article that partial squats are quad dominant.

I think he’s referring to douches in the gym that throw on 315lbs and use a 4 inch ROM.

Fuck the kittens - they shit everywhere and behind that cute little face and fluffy exterior is a viscious killer that will widdle in your shoe the second you turn your back.

I doubt that. Jesus never wore shorts that I know of, so he probably did partial squats picking up lumber for carpentery and tell people that his legs are all swole.

got some /b/tards in here huh.

Synthetickiller I was just trying to say that partials have their place as well. Nothing personal mate.
