I care. Form is important during workouts to avoid injury.

Strong is the new sexy. That limp bean doing back squats with a broom handle doesn't so it for me.

No, the thighs should remain parallel to the floor. Getting the butt lower than the knees will strain the knee.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

That's true but at this point, what difference does it really make???

Too low (the knees go forward at the bottom) and caving on the top. Watch the elbows go forward. If she had any weight on the bar, she would get stuck off the bottom from the forward lean. Pretty girl though, and at least it is not a half squat...

If you talk to a knowledgeable person ( as in a physical therapist with a PHD , they will tell you that is a myth. If you only squat to 90* then you try to go 110*, you most likely will not get the weight up because you have no strength down there.

If the hinge of the hip isn't below the top of your knee you aren't squatting. But that isn't what this is about. That "strong" chick is doing a nice front squat.

Thanks, guys. I thought the first girl was taking it too deep.

Girl one is perfect on depth, but needs to use weight if she ever wants to progress. Girl two has the most awesome back positioning I have ever seen, but would be better off dropping to the bottom of her natural range of motion. That bit of stopping at parallel will screw up her knees after a bit of time. Don,t take my word on it though, google up dr. Ken Leistner and get his info. He has been teaching the NFL and strongman competitors how to get the most out of squats for over thirty years. Also look up some pictures of Arnold and Dave draper squatting, heavy weight, no wraps and ass to the grass. Go deep! Good to know there are some lifters here.

In the first .gif it looks like she has a hip tilt at the bottom and toes lift just a bit. I've heard/read that is bad form?

If you only squat to 90* then you try to go 110*, you most likely will not get the weight up because you have no strength down there. Yes, and no... The problem is getting the knees too far ahead of the feet, creating some off balance loads on the knee. If you go low like that, you MUST sit back more to unload the knee. The Russian lifters are strongly influenced with Olympic type training, and are VERY strong at the bottom of the lift. In Powerlifting competitions, it is only necessary to go just below parallel. I think the Russians get some momentum from going so deep...
