Evan - Can I take a protein shake, before sleeping, after a workout?

1) Form & depth on squats and leg press: I generally hear that for squats, going down as far as thighs parallel to the floor is preferred, but only if the back stays arched and the knees stay behind the toes. But for incline leg press and sometimes for squats I'm told that going just past 90 degrees at the knee is adequate. Can you weigh in on appropriate depth and whether and why there are differences between depth on squats and depth on different types of leg press?
2) Strength training via weight lifting or high intensity interval training: I usually exercise 4-5 times per week with two days dedicated to strength training. I usually think of weight lifting as the foundation of strength training, but over the years I've seen a lot of emphasis at the gym on strength training via low-weight or body-weight high intensity interval training classes. I'm wondering if I should consider replacing my weight lifting workouts with high intensity interval workouts targeting the same muscle groups.
