"The ideal squat ends around parallel. This puts sarcomeres in a position to produce the most tension and force.
Admittedly, a majority of research studies suggest deep squats are more effective and healthier on the joints than partial squats or parallel squats. These results are to be expected when comparing deep squats to partial squats. However, the fact that deep squats have been shown to be safer and more effective than parallel squats can be attributed to one factor – faulty research and flawed application of practical training methods."

I knew ATG Squats can be bad but always thought below parallel was the ideal Squat depth. So the bro's had it right all along?
