Full, half and qtr squat

Yes, you are right, but this exercise is limited due to the fact that it becomes quite difficult to maintain balance as the weight gets heavier over time, and stability becomes an issue as one fatigues.
you really need to have the bar on your back and loaded up to stimulate the glutes sufficiently, it's a big muscle group, that takes a lot to fatigue.

If you're going heavy or just want help stabilising, then the trap machine is best.

When you're using that, most make the mistake of pulling up, you've got to start the movement by pulling forward, picture a frog jumping

For me to squat 2xbwx20 - 240x20, I'd be on the same level as Tom Platz LOL. Thought I was good when I did 1xBWx20!

If you could full squat your body weight for 20 reps, week in week out in a full body workout, and I would guess you'd be pretty young, mid 20's?
i would be very much impressed and would want your autograph.

I didn't think it was that crazy Silverback, and yeah I got up to about 122.5kgx20 when I was doing the first version of the PTC Beginner routine that has 2x20 squats. I actually felt like a failure because I kept stalling out at that weight and reps. I have to admit though, I'd usually also start falling over in the second set, between 12-15 reps in.
It translated into 3x10 @ 150 on the second run through of the program, and was one of the reasons that I decided to progress onto 5/3/1.
I'm 27, been weight training for about 1 year 4 months.
FWIW, I have been dubious of my squat depth lately as I've mentioned before, so I'm going to not progress the weight that I'm currently doing (working up to 215 on the 5/3/1 week) until I'm happy with the depth.

I go just below parrallel most of then time. Concentrating on breathing, even weight distribution between both legs, form and correct speed which is as slow as feels comfortable. I have a tendancy to go to fast with all exercises, like speed power reps so nowadays i purposely slow myself down in order to hold a stricter form and concentrate better on breathing and even weight distribution.
