Another problem with partial lifts is that they can give a lifter a false sense of strength due to the amount of weight lifted.
The injury factor is a real concern. Using heavy weights, even if for partial lifts, can expose a lifter to a higher chance of injury. The body may have not built up enough to support and handle a too heavy weight, especially if the difference in weight used is much greater than the weight used for a full lift.

You may be able to lift more weight in a partial squat, but you will only be stimulating half the muscles you could be, and you will not build a stronger base.

Partial Squats: Contrary to popular belief, squatting above the parallel position -- knees at approximately 90 degrees flexion -- is actually more dangerous that going to parallel or below. There are two reasons for this. When you look at the structure of the knee, you’ll note that at about 90 degrees flexion, the tibia’s sloped shape allows it to shear upwards and over the femur. This causes a lot of compressive force against the patella, and pulls forcefully against the posterior cruciate ligament. These potentially destructive forces become significantly less as you descend further into the squat postion, largely due to the fact that the tibia’s surface isn’t as sloped posteriorly, where it articulates with the femur. The second reason is that, because of better leverage while doing partials, you’re obliged to use a far heavier weight in order to gain any sort of adaptive overload on the muscles involved -- dangerous to the entire shoulder girdle, neck, low back and knees.
Squatting Kneeds
If it's too heavy to squat below parallel, it's too heavy to have on the back.

nog een laatste quote:
Everytime you do partial squats, Jesus kills a kitten. Don't be a p*ssy, save the kittens. Squat deep.

Zijn BMI was normaal, hij had enkel een laag vetgehalte. als iemand me kan zeggen waarom je meer vet moet hebben zou ik het graag willen weten. Zolang je geen ondergewicht hebt is er toch geen probleem? voor de rest was hij helemaal in orde en hij was goed in vorm.
