When people talk about not hitting depth in a squat because they're not flexible enough, do they mean that they physically can't go lower or can they go lower but their back starts to round? In other words, can everyone perform a third world squat with butt wink, but few with a straight back?
Usually too much weight. Its the same as going down halfway on bench instead of touching your chest. Guys tend to load up shit loads of weight they can't handle, then half rep it. If they attempted a whole rep with that much weight, they would fail that rep.

It means they can't keep the bar over mid foot without form breaking down.

Usually they don't push their knees out far enough.

This x1000
I had major butt wink until I found out about this

And in my opinion if you are having trouble pushing your knees out it's most likely lack of ancle mobility. Was for me at least.

>tfw corrective surgery on ankles as baby
>tfw you can barely parallel squat
Everyone praises the squat and it's the one exercise I physically am unable to do. Feels bad familam

How did you fix it?
>>36646635
Not him but just stretch on the daily. Try to be able to make a 45° angle between the ground and your shin. Until then you could use plates under your feet to achieve depth.

How do you fix ankle mobility?

This is a phenomen i have seen too often now. There are literally guys in my gym who cant squat deep with or without weights.
I thought it was a joke at first, because how retarded do you have to be to not be able to simply squat deeper. But it seems like this is an actual thing.
Oh yeah, i also noticed its always the retarded looking DYEL's who have this "problem".
>>36644246
Being able to do pic related is extremely rare in the West. Maybe it's common in places without toilets though.
>>36644246
in my case, if i tried to go lower, i would just fall backwards
still not at adequate depth, but it does get better with time/work
