  My yoga teachers always say dont bend your knee to the extent that the knee cap goes beyong the ankle or you can injure it. That video evidently crosses the line
  
  Crap my yoga teacherS knows nuts.
  
  Squating is a even bigger issue for people who has knee injuries or old people generally. Climbing the stairs is also not good for your knees because it involves some bending, i guess. Doctors always advise people with knee injuries not to climb upslope etc.
  
  Crap doctors know nuts too
  
  Different exercises suit different types of people.

  In yoga, you stretch your back which is also not recommmended.Btw i am not bashing yoga because i take some principles from it as well like the plank.
  
  Do you know that there is also a certain technique for squatting?and most do it wrongly.Even i am correcting my form now..
  
  Most people assume a squat is a squat as long as you bend down with your knees(Back alignment is neglected) and that includes doctors.
  
  Just look at the pic below

  Yes, the leg press and quad extensions would be a better choice for your knee health
  
  The fixed range of motion would ensure that my knee stays within a single axis and not jut out at other angles.This would help to prevent knee ailments.
  I have seen the physiotherapists doing this to treat leg injuries, so it must be right.
  
  Thanks for the advice, i realised i was wrong.I am so sorry.

  Don't be a lazy ass and get your butt to the floor for squats.
  
  It is not bad for your knees and anyone who tells you this is an idiot.... tell them I said this and if they have a problem with that they know where to find me.
  
  I am sick and tired of hearing this crap....

  Yup, your yoga teachers know nuts. Try and do a proper full squat without your knee protruding beyond your toes. It's impossible.

  Learn how to read boy. And try that with a loaded barbell on your back. Anyone can draw a picture to support his point, but all it is, is a frigging drawing.

  you said it was impossible
  
  Luckily you didnt go into arguing that the knees not in line with the toes.
  
  Anyways, the more you move your knees back to align to the toes, the more you lean your back forward. This is so that your body stays balenced.
  
  There comes a point whereby you squat too deep and the legs are blocking your back from leaning forward.

  Which is why the knees MUST go beyond the toes. Olympic weightlifters do this all year round. I don't know what your argument is.

  erm, back to topic, i think it'll be pullups. haha.
  
  many different variations to target the whole upper body.
  
  but then again, the lower body gets neglected?

  If you are lightweight,you can do pullups until the cows come home.
  
  But ask that same person to do a clean and press with heavy load,can he do it? Most likely not.

  .: dont go so deep to that extent.
  
  I already said that the person in the vid does his squats too deep and it may hurt his knees. But if you think your knees is very strong then go ahead and try. I am not here to convince anyone because different perople suit different ways of exercise. And most of all, i dont care if you agree with my point.

  And in what way do you stop misinformation from spreading? By using your status as a mod and thus what you say is wrong is surely wrong?
  
  I think you could explain it.
