The full squat is a perfectly natural position for the leg to occupy. That's why there is a joint in the middle of it, and why humans have been occupying this position, both unloaded and loaded, for millions of years. Much longer, in fact, than quasi-intellect ual morons have been telling us that it's 'bad' for the knees.

There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy.

But then again, those who argue against squatting and deadlifting on the same day may just be pussies.
