re: How many of you squat to depth?

Why do you want to squat arse to grass?
Just past parallel is a squat.
When I first started lifting in my late twenties, I practiced unweighted squats in my bedroom at night while watching TV. At first, my body just wouldn’t get into that lower position well. Had to teach it to.
Now in my 40s, the issue is more shoulder mobility than anything, on low bar squats.
Usually just doing the warm-up sets is all that’s needed to get the required flexibility. I do 6-10 reps with just the bar at first, and I do them slowly after working the bar into position on my back, and then consciously thinking of my knee position, hips, etc. through the first reps.

1) For me personally, I have scoliosis. Difficult for me to get a good range of motion with a crooked spine
2) Knee/back issues that pop up years down the road
3) I lift for muscle growth, not necessarily functionality. I get good enough growth in my legs without doing squats

After this thread I made sure to go as deep as possible in my squats and almost couldn’t get out of the hole on my last rep of my last set.
Definitely felt it the next day.
