Partial Squats Are Superior to Deep Squats for Size, Strength, and Speed (True or False?)

The high bar back squat is one of the most popular lower body exercises. This exercise can be performed in a variety of ways. Stance width, foot orientation, and depth can all be altered. Out of these, depth is probably the most commonly debated one. One side suggests partial (half and quarter) range of motion squats may be superior for maximizing the adaptations you experience, while the other side may suggest you're leaving gains on the table by no performing full range of motion squats (deep squats).

In this video, I do my best to assess to current research exploring how partial range of motion squats compare to deep squats for muscle hypertrophy (of the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and adductors), strength, and athleticism (jumping and sprinting).
