It's funny to me, this talk about below parallel being bad for the knees. You may recall me complaining about knee pain in the past. That's what happens squatting heavy at 90 degrees to me. When I learned how to deep squat, the pain disappeared and has never returned. I do half squats, but they are still below 90.
The article I linked explains this. There's been much written about the subject, pros and cons. I don't know what works for everyone else, but ATTG works for me.

Yep, pretty close to it, that works for me.miller1089 wrote:i assume that10-2 is foot angles(clock postions) and the normal angle for your foot to be in when squating, otherwise you put pressure on your ankle, and hip socket(at least for me it does).
Try some squats holding the bar overhead. It will help loosen up your back, although you might really feel off balance at first. Seriously, 1 hour of OH squatting solved that problem for me. But I had good flexibility going into it already.

"Just because you can go below 90 degrees, doesn't mean you should."
Try and catch at technical snatch at 90 degrees. You'll bust your kneecaps in two.
