Main things to remember: 1. Technique > Weight 2. Slow and controlled when lowering the weight 3. As fast as you can when raising the weight If you have any questions about squats, deadlifts, benching, or any other lift that you should be focusing on as an athlete drop a comment below.

As a football player, it really isn't necessary to go butt to the floor. You want to train the range of motion that you'll be going through while playing, which is right around 90 degrees. It doesn't hurt to go super low, but the most benefit you're going to see is at 90 degrees.
Wouldn't necessarily agree with that. Yes, squatting with knees over toes has certain benefits, but so does keeping them back. Really depends on the goal.

How many reps and sets and how much weight
Go with a weight you can comfortably do 6-8 reps with for 3-4 sets. That’s generally good starting point, then you can adjust from there.
Look at my little brother
Do you think squats going all the way down (like butt to the floor) would offer more benefit?

This video didn’t age well with the whole knees over toes movement 😂
