Have been doing so, which has also cut down my max by a lot. No knee issues but then a >50 year old guy that works out with us in the mornings suggested I shouldn't even be going parallel. This guy was a competitive body builder in his day...he's still stronger than us. What's the consensus?
This is where I was previously going....now going significantly lower.

Didn't watch the video, but everything I've ever been told was parrallel. What I see people doing is beyond parallel. Due to injury and surgery after, I no longer do squats.
