Lord.
Good post. I took your advice on the incline chest workout. Check out Citruscide's other post.

I find stopping at parallel much harder, it's actually uncomfortable for me.

Whereas by going rock bottom, my calves act like a sorta braking zone for me.

only going parallel to the ground puts a lot of extra stress on your knees and lower back. Going ATF allows you to decelerate and stop by simply letting your hams and calves come together. You have a much better chance of buckeling your knee inward if you only go half way down and try to explode back up wheras going all the way down allows a pause before pressing back up.
