Actually it's a common misconseption that squatting all the way down or "ass to grass" is bad for your knees. The knee joint is strongest when it's fully stretched or flexed. So if you stop at 90 degrees, you actually put your knees under a lot of stress. Also, the full squat is more natural for the human body and less stressful on the knee joint.

Thanks for this, back squat doesn't do it for me, just getting more and more discomfort from it, probably because of my height, so I guess it's front squats from now on!

johnny, if u go past parallel is it possible to not round your lower back? even u slightly round your lower back.

A little might be unavoidable, but IMHO, it's something worth the attention.

i tried to frontsquat today, but it felt as if my lower back was pushing up all the weight and not my legs, after 2 sets my lower back already felt mauled while i didnt feel anything in my legs. Anyone got any idea what im doing wrong?

@vijfendertig
I'm guessing you are either pushing the hips back too much as you initiate the descent, and/or not keeping the upper body upright.
