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.

3:54 — that’s fast! Good job, Nick.
Squats for today: 103-113-123(1)-118(1)
Gotta work on keeping my knees out. They crashed in after one rep on 123 and 118. I’ve heard this is a sign of a weak butt. I’m pretty sure CrossFit can take care of this.
Squats and running: 15:something.
