They really work well but you need to decrease the weight if you are not used to going ass to ground (the lifters call deep squating ATG squats). My research into it shows no danger to the knees of squating deep IF there is no perexisting knee condition. Don't do it if your doctor has advised you not to or if your knees are sore or damaged in anyway. If they are in good shape, deep squating is a great way to work the legs really hard while using less weight. The lowest part of the squat is really tough when you're not used to working that range of motion.
