Re: SQUATS: Light and Deep OR Heavy half reps
Go deeper and you do of course use your quads but you are hitting your glutes very heavily here and who wants a J Lo bootie?

Taking squats below parallel increases shearing forces on the knee but ATG squatters will argue that the ACL/PCL are lax at parrallel and not supporting the knee so its a bad place to stop.

This arguement gives us all a regular headache lol

I would do both, but do them safely and use a spotter and rack plus wraps and belts when needed.
