Best Answer

The knees are the joints involved in squatting and squatting exercises. The knees are bent as the body lowers, and extended when you return to the standing position.

In a "squat thrust" the body is bent over, knees halfway bent, and the legs are quickly extended outward, unbending the knees and moving the feet away from the body. Then the legs are pulled back in to the starting position.

In a "squat press" (typically using light barbells) the knees are bent and then straightened and as the body becomes erect, the arms (holding weights with elbows bent) are used to lift (press) small weights above the head, fully extending the arms.
