as someone who stalls out at the midpoint of a squat coming up very often i can tell you that locking your knees with weight on your back is not holding anything - it's putting your posterior chain under compression. my point was that something like a barbell hold (like this http://www.myfitnessstudio.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/barbell-bicep-curl.JPG http://www.myfitnessstudio.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/barbell-...) is just as hard as just curling.
