Doing squats slower puts more strain on the muscles, and in effect give a better workout.
Try it: squat down and stand up really quickly (no weights or anything) then do it as slow as you possibly can.
Also, ALWAYS squat parallel or ass-to-grass. Those guido douchebag quarter squats are what fucks knees up, going parallel or lower strengthens them.
Also, get a barbell and throw some weight on there, and squat that. If squats tire you out less than pushups, then it's obvious you're just standing there and going down then up. That does jack shit. Squats are an amazing thing, but don't be a shitbrick about them.
