If I do deep squats (ass to grass) and 90 degree squats- any point of doing those quarter squats as well? Or it’s a waste of time?

The best reason to do quarter squats is so that you can tell people you can squat a lot more than you actually can.

Research suggests that heavy quarter squats are better for improving speed than full squats.
Hall of fame track coach Ed Jacoby was a big proponent of quarter squats as is legendary strength coach Joe Kenn.
