ALWAYS DO FULL SQUATS
Partial squats are never good.
They neglect the hips and hamstrings.
When an athlete stops above parallel
His knee joints are forced to halt the
Downward momentum.
But once the athlete goes below parallel
that stress is transferred to the more
Powerful groups in the hips, hamstrings,
And adductors.
Full squats keep all these muscle groups
Proportionately strong.

World Class Fitness in 100 Words
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, c&j, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climbs, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, , flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or Six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports . - - Coach Greg Glassman, Crossfit Founder.
