    I figure any depth is beneficial if you are doing it with good form and without collapsing your knees. I started squatting in Feb of this year and couldn't go parallel. I can now go a good few inches below parallel. I need to keep a wider stance cuz I'm still a little overweight and the belly prevents a deep narrow stance squat with clean form.

    I try to get below parallel to get a full range of motion, however, I have hip issues and must use a narrow stance. I'm probably only getting to parallel on even my deepest squats. My goal is below parallel with no butt wink. I'm not sure I'll ever get there. I'm trying, though.
