People who have no business squatting (the injured, morbidly obese and sedentary, for example) should build the prerequisite strength/mobility/stability BEFORE using squats to build strength.
No one loves squats more than me, but mindlessly prescribing them for anyone and everyone is a really bad idea.
Band assisted squats might be an answer for some, but others might be better served by, for example, prone work, low step-ups, etc.
If you're not paralyzed, you can squat something. Hell, people can start by doing band assisted squats if they have too! )P
ReplyDeleteI squat...because I can.
