Is it bad for your knees to be squatting 3x a week?

In my opinion it's bad for your spine and knees in the long term, not to mention any small fuckup can land you in snap city.

Squats are great, but they are risky if you want to push elite numbers.

it depends how good your knee genetics are

I squat 3x a week.

2 heavy, one light (80%)

>>41886085
dont bounce.

Yes.
Once a week and 1-2 sets of 5-12 reps with moderately heavy weight is more then enough to get gains and remain perfectly safe.

Anyone who says otherwise is more then likely carrying an injury that came from squatting and misery loves company. Or they are a shill or retarded.

It's not easy to get elite squat numbers, most of us never will get that

What do you define as elite numbers? I'm almost squatting twice my bodyweight for reps and I don't think that's even close to "elite".

Squats actually fixed my spine pains. They come back if I don't squat for a long time.
