I've found it can't get deep enough with a barbell Squat, but if I use a smith machine I can get deep enough. Really need to add some flexibility so I can get deeper.
Never actually came across this thread before and as a regular gym goer I have no idea why!

I can squat a fair weight. In the last two years I’ve stayed away from barbells.

If you go on insta, look for the hyper trophy coach. Squatting is all about the depth and the weight and it’s doesn’t matter whether it’s a barbell, smith machine or any other machine.

Barbell squat has so many downsides that any other way to get the weight and depth is preferential.

For example you’ll ever see any big bodybuilders doing flat bench because you get past 100kg, 90% of chest injuries come from flat barbell bench.
