    i sort of agree,it depends how flexible you are.. i always have my clients do bodyweight squats to warm up and i watch at the low point where they roll their hips in is where you want to stop, once you go past that point it puts alot of pressure on your knees and hip joints. I follow this same rule, i go slightly past parallel. again i think it depends on the person and the shape their in, and how felxible you are. its the best thing to do to avoid discomfort and injury
