I've seen Shaolin monks do this. They squat below parallel (without weights) and then hold it there for god knows how long.
What is this sort of a thing good for? Endurance?

I don't know but I do it to stretch before football and basketball and if I do it longer for than a minute I don't have the strength to push myself back up.

Yes ........I call them ski squats for the reason your in a low ski position.Great for endurance and burn after a legg workout.Useful in building up strength getting ready for ski season or any other sports that envolves alot of legg endurance and your quads.I used to put a 25 pound dumbbell or weight in my lapp .With or without weights they really burn and will give you a pump.
