Hey guys,
Recently I've been reading up about fitness and stuff. The thing is that it's much harder to find stuff about body weight fitness than it is about regular fitness so I have two quick questions for you guys.
First question. I read a few weeks back that squats are one of the worst exercises for you, because they totally destroy your knees. Is this also the case for body weight squats (pistol squats) or only for people that squat like 150 kg etc..
Second question is about a thing I've been doing recently. I'm trying to build up to pistol squats so I've been doing squats while leaning heavily on one leg. A friend of mine told me this isn't the way to go and that I shouldn't do it, do you think I should listen to him. The reason I'm asking this is because he knows a lot about fitness, but not a lot about body weight fitness.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my noobie questions.
