Go down as far as you can go but NOT so far that your Butt comes out of contact with the back rest. Also, keep your legs parallel and dont let your knees flare out at to the side.

Your Range of motion will depend on your flexability, gut size, leg size, eccentially, it will depend on how much of you gets in the way.

as far as i can before my butt gets off the pad.

I break 90 degrees, but that is about when my knees are getting close to my chest.

I like to use a stance slightly wider than shoulder width with the toes slightly pointing outward. In terms of depth, I let the quads travel down until they touch the side of my chest. It is important not to let your back roll on these. I go past 90 degrees. When I get severely fatigued and I want to force out a few more reps, I will give myself some forced reps.

405 for 8, 465 for 2, I'm pretty happy with that.
