Common Mistake
Creating a fake range is a common mistake in the squat. The athlete brings the shoulders further down to the ground which gives them the feeling that they’re going deeper in the squat, i.e. creating more range, but they’re not.
This can also be explained as the torso traveling further toward the ground while the hips and ankles have stopped moving. Or as the hip bending more while not bending at the other 2 squat joints.

Solution
Stop moving once the hips stop going further down. Let the hips lead going down and stop further movement when the hips no longer travel down, i.e. maximum ROM with good form is reached.
