Squatting below parallel really builds your ham glute tie in. Most people are lacking in this area. However, you have to use proper form when squatting deep. If you don't use proper form you can do more harm than good. I am a former competitive powerlifter, which means that I love to squat deep. To me, there is no exercise better than a good deep squat. Peace. Hi,

I find if I am squatting at or near max but not getting deep enough, it is time to back off and go lighter to get deeper.

This is of course completely ludicrous, but I put that option in there to see how many boneheads would actually vote for it.
