Or try mixed. I refused to use mixed because of some crap I read. Then I read GSLP. My DL went from failing at 265 for 5 to pulling 285x9 a week later.
I can’t wrap my head around how full squats wouldn’t be more beneficial than halfs.
I’ll just add, that if grip is the limiting factor, it should be pretty obvious.

Got ya. Makes perfect sense.

My thought on the question is that it depends on what the athlete struggles on.

that still doesn’t answer my question
I see the half squat as an accessory lift. Would you agree or no

Did a light recovery upper today.
Speed bench 185x3, arm over arm rope sled pulls, paused dips with 25 lb weight and fat grip farmers walks. 6 giant sets of those.

you think they build strength equally?
Strength in what? The squat? The half squat? Finger push ups? It's an open ended question that you can trap an answer with.
If the athlete wants to get stronger in the squat, certain movements will make them stronger. Simply squatting is not the only answer. If you're out of the hole strength is stronger than your lock out, what good is it if you can't get the full squat? So now, lower the weight, squat so you can do the full squat. Now you are doing less weight in your bottom position to help the top part.
Sure, you can get back to the right balance by lowering the weight and moving up sequentially but the bottom end will weaken in the mean time. You can move up from there. That's an option.
You can also work on your weakness and round out the lift without weakening the bottom end. Another option.
See there are no absolutes.
I believe every person needs different coaching needs based on technique and experience.

Could be. Couldn't be. Conjugate method works just great and the pin squat at weakness height can be a max effort lift which would be a main movement.

I have been no repped once, but that was with overhead where I really struggle with keeping my arms locked out. Not once in normal squats. I guess I'll have to start getting someone to check.

All the time. The giant sets are something I took directly from him.
It really is great for building cardio and maximizing your time.

Generally, the less depth you get, the more weight you can use. When I was saying half squat, I don't mean there's a cutoff, just that to start with an accurate measure for ratio, squat should be to parallel or below.
If you're good on depth, you know the measure's reliable, so next is to check your physical, mental and technical aspects for flaws.
FWIW, I hadn't considered you might be double overhanding it. If you are, that's going be a huge limiting factor for DL.

After reading some replies and Googling Brian Asruhe, I am way out of my league here...ha ha. But, it was fun hanging out with the "cool kids".

Hang out if you want to. I didn't mean to be disrespectful with any comment. It matters more your drive to improve.
I'm just some jerk lifting in my garage. Maybe some of these other guys are cool, but I'm definitely not.
