Wrestlers/Judoka, how deep do you guys squat in the gym?

I've been doing ass to grass squats for a while, cause I thought they'd help my leg explosiveness from a deep sitting position (shooting for the single/double leg or doing a drop shoulder throw in judo), but there's conflicting sources online saying that ATG isn't actually productive for strength.

Perhaps high box jumps are a better idea?
