Range of Motion
Training within a specific range of motion can lead to strength and stability in that area, but neglecting full motion may result in weakness and injury. It's crucial to start lighter when expanding your range to avoid injury and to build a more balanced physique. Understanding biomechanics can significantly impact performance and help prevent chronic issues, such as low back pain, which can be exacerbated by limited movement patterns.In this clip

When squatting, should I go to parallel or full range of motion?
Is it okay to have a client do a slightly heavier squat to just above parallel if they can perform a perfect squat to just above parallel, and then have them go lighter or remove weight to practice the full range of motion? Or is it better to only do the full range of motion with a lighter weight?
Is it worth lowering the squat weight and training the fullest range of motion for aesthetics?
