[QUOTE="DC, post: 163564"] It's still not healthy for you knees. Yes, done properly is a great excersize, but not one I'd recomend because of the potential and actual damage to the knees. Over head presses are a great way to build upper body strength, but are horrible for your shoulders. People still do them...I just wouldn't recomend them. There are other ways to do this and save your joints. Think long term. You don't want to be crippled because of your teens and twenties when you have 60 more years after that, do you? Don't risk it. [/b][/quote] Yea but barely anyone has perfect squat form. It is so hard to acheive. Squating heavy doesn't work your fast twitch muscle fibres unless you are doing plyometric squats (which arent even reccomended with weight at all). To increase fast twitch muscle power you have to do stuff fast. So plyometric excersizes like box jumps, squat jumps (no weight) etc are how you work those. Squatting heavy just makes your legs more powerful. [/QUOTE]
