goud not everyone is built the same...
so lets say you can squat below parallel, can a guy who goes deeper drags his balls on the floor turn around and call your squat high and be justified because he goes lower??? and berate your for justifiably so....
that was a legit squat imo
people are built different....
good post for once.
seems like when it comes to squatting half the lifting population goes full retard. plenty of people will call a parallel squat "half squat"

when you squat down, some people completely effortlessly can sit on the floor... others, like myself, simply
cannot go that low, or even approach such depth. if someone makes a concerted effort to "go as low as possible", a lot of people will actually "bottom out" at around parallel... then get criticized for "half squats"

... as if they could somehow will themselves to go lower.
the bodybuilding world is filled with petty condescension like this, people calling other people pussies all over the place for stuff they have no control over. "lol why dont you try lifting arms!", "i had bigger legs as a natural", "you need X amount of test to get how big? hahaha" etc etc. i wish i could see these people switch bodies with those they were criticizing, and then laugh as they failed to do any better.
