It has always been said that locking the knees in any type of squat or press exercise is harmful ... but is this statement true?

??*?Evidence

❕The knees ? are prepared to lock effectively, the muscle that surrounds them is enough to protect them ?.

❕With the knee lock you can increase your maximum load in the exercises ?.

❕If you feel discomfort when locking your knees, it is an indication that even without locking them the weight you are using is harmful ☠️.

?Tip

❕The knee must be vertically aligned with the hip-ankle line for an efficient lockdown ??.
