I know that's how you do it, but get a trained eye to watch your lower back/butt. If it tucks inwards at the bottom, your flexibility is not sufficient to ATG with that stance/set-up safely. You may not notice at first but after a while you may develop pains there and then have to do a major deload and possibly stop squatting for a while. BTW there is no problem with hitting parallel or a little below - you'll sill benefit from the exercise.
