After seeing some really ignorant comments from users on this post (OP by /@flipflops82 )I wanted to make a post.
Firstly, your ignorant ideas about what is an is not a squat need to be checked at the door. There is no wrong way to squat provided it:
There are dozens and dozens of ways to perform a squat movement and putting your hands on your legs while doing SSBs is basically a modified
Hatfield Squat.
Don't know what a Hatfield Squat is? Sure you don't. It doesn't surprise me. It was invented by one of the very first people on the planet to ever squat over 1000lbs in competition when he was 45 years old. The whole point is to work the legs while mitigating undue stress on the joint.
Reading all the comments by people saying "lower the weight", "good arm workout bro", and many more made me very frustrated at not only how completely off brand they were with the purpose of this sub, but how absolutely moronic and not in line with reality they were. Especially likely by people who have never dealt with horrible chronic dysfunction or actual injury.
If you don't understand something, ask. But it's very evident there's a ton of people in here who speak from a place of extreme ignorance and zero experience by not only the amount of comments, but the excessive upvotes they received.
