Hi I got a question about squats, is it good to go below parallel? Do you want to try to go as low as possible? Thanks!

You should go as low as you can while maintaining back extension. Eventually in a clean or a snatch you will be pushed to your lowest squat level so you should prepare yourself by practicing your squats the same way.
