Is it good to go all the way down on squats?

Do squats actually make your butt bigger?

Squatting has the ability to make your butt bigger or smaller, depending on how you’re squatting. More often than not, squatting will really just shape up your glutes, making them firmer instead of bigger or smaller. If you are losing body fat on top of performing squats, then your butt will likely shrink.

How far should I go down on squats?

Is squatting all the way down bad for knees?
