1. Who wrote that “deep squats” were bad for the knees?
2. What year was the research published? (Hint: 50+ years ago).
3. What are the currently accepted determinants for how deep you should squat? (name at least 3).

Be a fitness geek. Know the reason for the form and technique you use. Read articles that base their assertions on a body of current studies.

You’d be amazed at how many people cling to rules from studies they haven’t read, by authors they can’t name, written in the 1950s and 1960s (and they don’t know that either).

Knowledge evolves in sports science too. Don’t ride a dinosaur.
