While doing a back squat, you're doin reps with 300 pounds on the barbell (total mass of the barbell and weights; you're strong...you got this!). At the bottom of your squat, your hip is flexed to a 45deg angle, your knee is flexed to a 90deg angle, and your ankle is dorsiflexed to 75deg. The force vector of the barbell is 15cm anterior from the hip joint, 20cm posterior from the knee joint and 12cm anterior from the ankle joint.
