Butt Wink vs Depth Limit
Butt wink vs depth limit: small tuck at true bottom may be normal—early lumbar round means stop higher until mobility and bracing improve.
Butt wink vs depth limit distinguishes harmless tailbone tuck at the bottom of a squat from lumbar rounding that loads the lower back under compression. Some tuck at ass-to-grass depth is normal anatomy; sudden pelvic flip early in the descent is a depth limit signal.
Beginners should squat to parallel or slightly below while spine stays neutral, not chase Instagram depth. Ankle and hip mobility work helps over months; forcing depth today does not.
Box squats and goblets teach consistent stopping points.

Must beginners squat ass to grass?
No—parallel or slightly below with a neutral spine beats collapsed depth. Add range as mobility and bracing earn it over months.
