For a year or so I've been doing unweighted, one-leg squats all the way down (ATG depth).
Bad for the knees or not? I've read both claims on line. As long as I didn't bounce they didn't hurt to do. My knee pain has increased a bit in the year since I started doing 'em. It could be from other things, but to be safe, I recently quit.
Edited to add:
found an interesting answer here http://www.exrx.net/Kinesiology/Squats.html
According to that, if I don't rest thigh-on-calf it's OK. Much harder that way, which is cool: something new to work on.
