Those were perfect bb squats as far as I’m concerned.
Agreed.
Also, there isn’t much difference between a true parallel squat and an ATG squat. If one is actually going to true parallel (where the hip joint is parallel to the top of the knee), then there’s nothing wrong with that.
The problem comes when people interpret parallel to mean when the knee joint is at 90 degrees. Which ends up resulting in a very high squat/knee bend/quarter squat.
I’d also agree that except for people who have knee replacements or some other orthopedic injury that limits their range of motion, I’ve never met anyone who couldn’t squat to at least parallel (and the vast majority can get to ATG during their first session trying). Usually their previous inability stems from poor technique, not a true lack of mobility. That and of course ego, as they would have to decrease the amount of weight that they use.
Here’s Branch Warren going over his philosophy about building the legs, notice his comments about squatting:
