  “In a full Squat (below parallel), the soft muscles of the legs slow the speed of the bar down, and help the joints recover. In the half Squat (partial) you have to stop for a very short time when the bar is going down - and at the same time, shift the bar in the upward direction. That moment is very sharp stop, it’s like a knife, especially
  over the knee joints. So the danger of injury during the half Squat is much greater than during the full Squat.” — Angel Spassov, world renowned Bulgarian Weightlifting Authority
