    Just picked up Rippetoe's book/DVD Starting Strength, and another one by Rippetoe. I'm going to start on the program next week. I've been trying a lot of different stuff to improve my overall strength, core strength conditioning/endurance and athleticism. I'm always looking for new stuff, and I'm willing to try just about anything if I think it will work. I'm currently looking at ordering some yoga DVD's that are geared towards martial artists. I'm also gonna get Joey Alvarado's Kettle-Jitsu, and Shadow-Jitsu DVD's. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    Absolutely you should be squatting past a 90 degree angle, just be properly stretched and don't be using weight that is unreasonable for abilities. Also, have perfect form, feet just wider than your hips, feet slightly externally rotated(about a 15 degree angle), keep your heels in line with one another and keep your head up looking forward to keep your spine erected and avoid back injuries. Squatting at a 90 degree angle is asking for trouble. Your joint is least stable at this point, and you're going downward with body weight+added weight, and stopping at the knees most unstable position and then accelerating upward in the opposite direction. Not a good idea. But do body weight squats religiously til you have perfect form. Then add weight.
