From the parent:

> when you see people in this squat position in Asia etc you will notice that their spine is rarely flat if they are fully down in the squat. This is generally fine so long as the spine is not loaded.

the exact same thing applies to knee position. You don't want your knees past your toes when loaded, when unloaded it's totally fine.

ahhh, I see the distinction now ... you can get into that super deep squat when you're just chillin'. But if you're squatting at a rack, you would maintain a different form.
