How low should you go on a proper squad?
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
proper squat? how low? do you go?

Parallel and above=Great stress on the knee.
In a powerlifting squat the hips comes below the knee like Kerpal said, which is probably an inch or so below "parallel".
In olympic squats with the term "ass to grass" is when you go well below parallel. Some do not have the flexibility or bio-mechanics to do this safely however.
So anywhere below parallel, and the important thing is that your back is locked in extension and doesn't round. If you can't go below parallel without your back rounding, you have some flexibility work to be doing, which you should be doing anyway. I have also seen articles by either Mike Roberston or Boyle I believe, stating that muscle imbalances can cause rounding to be a problem as well.
