All of your weight is on the knee putting undue pressure on the joint if you are not below parallel. You need to find out about Crossfit and be a real trainer.

Yes you can give yourself a good workout using your own body weight but you need weights to build true strength and power. Well I am glad at the end you said living room workout LOL.

CG, it's funny that you mention the 90 degree squats. Those seem to put a lot more stress on my knees than deep squats. I think it's the fact that my knees bear the brunt of the weight when I stop partway through, whereas in the deepest squat position your ass rests against your calves. I have a bad knee now, and doing a 90 degree squat is absolute hell on it. I don't see how a chair dip is any worse that doing parallel bar dips. It's possible I didn't describe the exercise effectively enough, but doing chair dips (as I attempted to describe) is exactly the same as doing bar dips. And yes, pushups are amazing.

NO, your butt does not need to touch the floor to get the benefit. Squat to 90 degrees and no more; For lunges- lunge until your knee goes as close as 2 inches from the floor, no closer...The chair dips are not a functional exercise. When exactly do you put your shoulders in that position and do a tricep dip? It's hard on the shoulders for one, and secondly, push ups work your triceps as well, so do something functional, I say!
