Following on from every thread in here about lifting, how many people actually ass-to-grass squat?

Just to clarify, when I said ass-to-grass I ACTUALLY meant below parallel
Anyone tried Overhead Squats...?

I do them but the gym I go to now only has a smith machine. Now football season has ended i'm going to try and do legs twice a week.
Do you use padding? I find it alot better without as I can get it in the right position but don't tend to see anyone else not use it?

Never used padding. I sometimes get grazes on my back/neck from the grooves on the bar but its not uncomfortable.
