Yes.

No matter how heavy I go past the 90degree zone.

Id say around 100-110 degrees. However towards the end of a set, where i simply wouldnt be able to rise out of a deep squat, I gradually reduce the depth over the last couple of reps to work my legs to a maximum.

I love squats

Try to get your thighs to be level or parallel with the floor as much as possible

Can anyone recommend hip, ham, groin stretches to help increase maximum depth?

I train in the cage use the pins for safety. Set your pins just below 90 and you can touch and go just workin it. When I am done with my last heavy set remove the pins and drop your weight to do bottoms as deep as possible. Some times I overload and do partials or lockouts to condition my body for lifting heavy. Duck walks weighted or not also help develop the bottom end.

i go as low as possible on squats, but i feel leg press is not rated high enough to build up the legs - hardcore squats + hardcore pressing + lots of good food = big legs

box squats are good to build power. the strength trainer for my high school football team swore by them. now a days, id use a full range of motion to stretch and incorporate all 4 heads of the muscle.
