10x10 squats

[cj111]

Cj111, you were the member that posted the great calf routine that I am currently doing. Seeing how great that worked, I think I will have to go ahead and give this one a shot too. I have a few questions on the routine however.

Do you do the body squats immediately after each set, or do you have a brief rest period? Do you have a rest period after the body squats before performing the next set? What do you mean by "super deep" exactly? Below parallel? I suppose like most other exercises, the reps should be done slowly too?

Deep as in well below parallel, like bottom out. Trying to mimic how deep they go on the clean n jerk.
As far as body squats go I was just throwing those in randomly, 20-30 after each set.
I watched a video today how squatting anything less than parellel, aka half squats , are WAY worse for your knees then going ass to grass...I hate seeing guys in the gym load 3-4 plates on and just barely bend their knees and then shake on the way up, its almost disturbing

God, I am ashamed to admit it; but I used to be one of those guys. I was under the impression that going below parallel was worse for your knees; but after reading this, I took it upon myself to read up on it (not that I don't trust you). I was surprised to read that it is better for your knees. My first instinct was "How could this be? You are going farther down, so you should be using your knees more," but it actually makes sense when you think about it. I am glad you informed me of this though.

I think because you see how much weight a lot of guys can squat, you want to do a lot of weight too. Also it is important to exercise with heavier weight in order to put on muscle mass; but clearly if that comes at the cost of poor form, then you shouldn't be doing it. You just improved my squat a lot. Thanks.
