Squat too low?

[ddnusbaum]

I have a feeling this is going to be a dumb question. Can you go too low on your squat? I did read the book a while ago and did a quick reference and couldn't find the answer. I will read that chapter again but was hoping for a quick response. I think I strained my lower back on my last set of squats going too low.

Yes, if you have to relax your back to get that low, it's too low. SEARCH FUNCTION.
