oh, i'm definitely not going below parallel. My knees have a very difficult time even approaching parallel. My goal is to get below parallel, but even the depth I do now involves a lot of stretching and straining of everything around the knee joint. Same thing when I do lunges even with only body weight. I feel a lot of tightness just above the knee that is in the back and of course, everything feels very weak and wobbly. The pisser of it is that this is a significant improvement to how things were when I was starting to go to the gym almost 2 years ago.
lol, i went to the drugstore last night and saw this older asian woman squatting atg looking at stuff on the bottom shelf for about 15 minutes. The first thing that popped into my head was that I was so jealous and wished I could do that.
