lol dude....bro.....Dynamin....listen...
A full squat is going as low as your range of motion allows or pretty damn close. Most guys can get to a position where their asses are about 3-5 inches off the ground....some can even touch their ass to the ground, like my friend lol but a realistic ROM for him would be gettin his ass 3" from the ground
In a "just past parallel" squat, you still have about 8-12 inches of range of motion left....even more if you're taller!

Now you're getting into whether his ass shoulda been 3 or 5 inches of the ground
I'm beginning to wonder whether you americans are jealous of our sprinters and cant accept the fact Ben squatted that much.

Ben Johnson was kickass, he's like an idol to me, and I mean that.
I'm pretty ****ing impressed with the guy, VERY STRONG. His bench was also 407x2
But you know what? You asked a question, and I answered you. Didn't even know you were fukin referring back to Ben Johnson!! No need to make retarded accusations because I gave you a very detailed answer so you have an understanding of what a true full squat is and what a just past parallel squat is!!

Thats total BS...no 700 lb. squat. He squatted 620 or so...his workouts were 3 rep training in the high 500 lb range and then he would immediately sprint to push him through sticking points. He was a freak but to say it was 700 lbs below parallel I think is just not true.Ben Johnson did have more juice in him then a bucket of grapefruit but...no. He still was a Winner, uh I mean a Win-strol.

i'm not saying he did it or not. I personally don't care that much one way or another, but why is it so tough to believe that he could hit 700ish?
The dude was a sprinter, sprinters have to have INSANELY explosive strength in their hams and glutes. I see no reason why the best sprinter of all time (yeah yeah, banned, schmanned, he just got caught, like Tim Montgomery) could not hit 700 on the squat, especially considering that he did so much strength training.
On a side note, a "full squat" for the purpose of most discussions is one that would land greens on the platform, so just past parallel probably means 1" past parallel, so probably 3 greens.

I guess for sprinters its not necessary to go max, but I have heard stories of him doing around 700 lbs max

Back in the days and I followed Ben Johnson, it was said he could squat 600 LB's.
I also heard the 350 LB bench number too.
Now that I hear about the 600 was for 2 sets of 6 reps, makes it even more incredible.
Any 180 LB man who can control 600 LB's for a squat and power back up with it, is going to have a great strength to weight ratio. It's no guarantee they are running a 9.79 100 M though.
But if this person has a descent height and muscles and tendons are laid out well, they can be trained to become fast. I'd even say under 11.0 100 M as a guarantee if they dedicate themselves to the endeavor.
