I'm currently squatting twice a week. However, I do both squat workouts on the same day about 6-8 hours apart. Workout #1 would be heavy squats with double and triples (every now and then a single or two), not very much volume. Workout #2 would be light squats with 6-12 reps. About 12-15 sets, plus maybe some leg pressing and/or leg extensions if I have the energy. If I squat ass to the ass for the heavy first workout, I would hit parallel or do box squats for the lighter second workout as my hamstrings tend to get sore easily. If I squat to parallel for the heavy workout, I would do atg squats for the lighter second workout.
Right now I'm cutting down to reduce my body fat %. However I'm trying to maintain as much lean mass and strength as possible. I know it's good to mix things up to 'shock' my body, but I'm wondering if I'll better off if I only did parallel squats or atg squats given my goals.
