? What doesn't have to work as harder? The lateralis?

vmo doesn't.. tychver is probably saying, patella-femoral stability isn't as important with bilateral squatting, so, vmo being the main patella stabilizer, doesn't have to work as hard.

pc

So... what does this have to do with my low bar squatting?
