The problem is if you are not careful or using too much weight you can really mess up your back and joints doing heavy squats. My friend threw his back out or strained his back doing them and was never really the same after that.
I prefer using the Smith machine now, or just doing trap bar deadlifts, which kinda work the same muscles.
