What to do? Nick, understood and agreed, but in class I am always being yelled at to “squat lower” by just about everyone (except you) … and I know my mechanics are not perfect. What to do?

It makes a lot of sense that if you aren't engaging your hamstrings properly and are over-compensating with your quads that it would put more strain on the knee joint. On another note, I wonder what kind of devilry is in store for us on January 1st! Great re-post, Nick.

I actually "understood" this. keep the butt out/curve in the lower back. I think i have been suffering from bad squat angle for a while now, and probably why i pulled my left hip flexer/groin muscle - coming up from a heavy squat, because I was squeezing my glutes and quads on my left (weaker) in an attempt to balance the load, which didn't help because the problem was more likely my back angle!
