You bring up the knee pain from landing deep... but isn't deep squatting doing the same thing to the knees. I really can't get this "a full squat is a safe squat" stuff... I mean, the knee starts to being pulled as into a separation force when the femur gets lower than the knee...
For example, if I try to squat right now with my knee injured it's not that bad until I get lower than parallel. If the glutes would take over etc from that point on, how come my pain increases when lower than parallel? I never got this one.
