I'm defiantly a newbie to squats deads etc, so some guidance is much appreciated
is going deep important?
I mean going past parallel, lately I've been trying to get real deep but its difficult to get back up with higher weights. have found I need to drop my weight by about 10-15kgs to get real low.
should I keep working my way up from as low as i can go, or just focus on higher weights and only going to parallel?
is there any advantage to squatting real deep or is the movement past parallel a waste?
everywhere I read it seems to be, parallel or slightly lower but I figure this is because thats the required depth for comps?
Cheers
Deeper squats activate more muscle fibres particularly in your posterior chain, they also make you strong, manly and cure cancer.
Also I am willing to bet money that what you consider parallel is actually far from it.
Grow balls, squat deep, be awesome.

There is simply no other exercise, and certainly no machine, that produces the level of central nervous system activity, improved balance and coordination, skeletal loading and bone density enhancement, muscular stimulation and growth, connective tissue stress and strength, psychological demand and toughness, and overall systemic conditioning than the correctly performed full squat.
Go as deep as your flexibility/form permits.
Possibly true at lighter weights but I think if I bounced at the bottom of a heavy squat I'd tear the shit out of my glutes and hams.
Don't forget to post said video when this happens. It would be a good educational tool...
