Whats your weight and what do you Squat?
As above really, i've recently started to include squats into my leg workout, and currently am doing the following..
Warm up, 40kg plus bar for 10 reps,
Warm up 2, 60kg plus bar for 8 reps,
Working set, 80kg plus bar for 6 reps.
i'm 6ft 3, hovering around the 93kg mark,
What can everybody else do.

No, nobody really posts in here.
Legs are a massive weak point for me as I haven't trained them for years because of a snapped hip socket. However I have been doing them for a few months and finding my feet. Box squat/parallell was 160kgs but I normally to atg for 120kgs. Last week was 3 sets of 8 reps on 120 but importantly atg.. How low are you going wiht yours?

You should try and go as low as you can, to get the full range of movement, look at some videos online for good form , www.exrx.net , youtube

I've never heard that one before. For powerlifting comps etc you have to go just below parallel which is where most people think they are getting to. In reality they probably aren't as its quite difficult to stop a squat there when going heavy I personally find. I have just been going atg lately as something new and although its hard I like the full range of movement and driving up from the bottom to the top. Can really feel it working.

And like you said The range of movement is much greater and you will see better results, but like everything we all have our beliefs on what works best and what doesnt.

Most definately mate and I am certainly not saying your doing it wrong. I'm no expert and have sparrows legs anyway.
