I noticed today a guy wearing a tap out t shirt with a blue tooth in his ear...he is obviously a medical rep cause he comes in with scrubs on all hours.

He is abut 6'3" and 225 and decently stron but not as big and strong as he could be. He loads up the bar with 315 and I noticed he is broing it down to a 45 degree angle hip to knee and grunting. He did this for every set no matter the weight. Anyone else do these bro squats. Like you are too cool to go at least parallel?

Maybe he has a bad lower back and doesn't want to hurt it

With a back or knee injury going parallel or below causes more pain in my experience.

It's actually harder and more damaging to stop prior to parallel to change direction.

There is a guy at my gym that's like this. We must be on similar schedules because every time I go in to do legs he is there taking up the squat rack.

He goes in with no stretching, loads the bar up with 315, and does 3x5 of some wimpy half reps. Its only a matter of time before he realm messes up something doing that with no warmup

I rarely see anyone doing squats at the local anytime fitness.

I squat to parallel or below because I'm awesome
