Open Mind Movement

Is squatting ass to grass always neccessary⁉️
These are two comparisons of my squat performed today after a good 15 mins of mobility and core exercises.
First squat felt strong, stable, comfortable and core and glutes were firing throughout the whole movement.
Second squat, when flexed passed the 60degree point I lost contraction of my core and glutes, my knees tracked passed my toes, excessive curvature of my lumbar spine and excessive posterior pelvic tilt causing what's known as the !! All in all a pretty dangerous lift overloading the lumbar spine and getting caught in a tricky spot for my body type and ability.
Dont get me wrong going the depth is awesome if you have worked over the years to be able to do this maneuver safely, but from what I have learnt, with their being only a handful of sports that actually require that sort of strength in that depth eg. Olympic lifting maybe reconsider if the risk/reward is even worth it for your program.
Have a go filming your lifts it can be very beneficial.
