And being able to squat deep is a very good thing, IMHO
I always thought so! But my trainer was all YER DOING IT RONG -- she said I would hurt my knees if I went below a 90-degree angle, even though the rest of my form was correct. When I asked about the "your butt should kiss the floor" rule I had been taught, she said that was only for people who had been working hard for a long time and had built up very strong stabilizer muscles. It sounded fishy to me, but I like my knees, so I've been squatting shallowly since.
