Squatting AtG is not necessarily better than parallel

@roger5599 I also think people should know about the concept of "progressions". I'm sure you (OP) does, but for those who don't know... any exercise you see can be broken down into easier exercises and people publish a list of increasingly difficult exercises that you can do to build your way up to a difficult exercise. All that to say, no one needs to walk into a gym, put a barbell on their back, and start squatting. You can do progressions.

I did when I was starting off. I couldn't even body-weight squat off a box. I more or less followed this squat progression until I could barbell squat: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/34/2c/92/342c92e940dac688fa5470b9761435f7.jpg.

The guy in this has an IG of "AchieveFitness" I believe. He and his wife run a gym... I love their IG tutorials.
