Ok these guys have 800lbs on their backs so I really shouldn't say anything, but none of the squats was below parallel. In training and in competitions, I've seen novices and intermediates get their squats redlighted for being around the same level or even deeper, but for some reason, the supers always get the same squat depth passed.
Yeah I was watching the hips... still can't see how that's below parallel. Could be camera angle, but that's borderline at best.
Here's a SHW with super thick thighs squatting (admittedly less poundage at 305kg raw) obviously below parallel: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHMkz0jf6dU]YouTube - Hossein Reza Zadeh 305kg squat[/ame] - even with the camera far away, I can easily see that his hip is below the top of the knees. He has the same stance width and same kind of shoes as the first of the above two (Sider?).
