Question:

Bouncing when squatting?

Some of my friends bounce at the bottom of the squat; why do they do it-is there an advantage to doing it this way?

How would you answer this question?"

bouncing while squatting is an excellent exercise to built lower limb muscles it comes under pylometrics .
also several bounces while squatting screens the sacroiliac ,hip, knee ,ankle joint in one go
so one can acess all the joints of lower limb to rule out pathology this is called as Quick test
