A guy many years ago convinced me to abandon free weight squats. He was an amateur bodybuilder that compacted one of the discs in his back from heavy squats. After he recovered, he swore they were horrible for your back, even with proper form. He claimed the combo of hack squats, incline leg press and extensions would give you as much benefit as squats. I've held on to his warnings for years, of course I never tried to squat as much weight as he did when he injured himself.
