[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 792618, member: 265"] The reason I wrote the post is that I used to squat 400 regularly myself. (My personal best was 450, but I used 400 as my top squat weight in regular workouts. At a body weight of - ahem - 190, btw.) I know how dangerous a squat with heavy weights is. I also know that anyone who does squats regularly with heavy weight is well advised to avoid any fooling around with your knees in hyperextended positions. The reason squats with heavy weight are dangerous is because of the possibility - all too common - of losing control of the weight laterally due to momentary knee instability. If that happens you can be truly up the creek and truly without an oar very quickly. I know; it happened to me at least (it was a while ago) twice and I payed for it. That's why I was so surprised to see our players fooling around in the weight room and without knee braces too boot. Lifting heavy weights is a serious business and coaches should treat it that way. There's plenty of time for fun out on the field. [/QUOTE]
