> Well, kind of. Squats have different limitations than DLs. But even a kid can squat (and their knees do go past their toes so cut the BS about that)

What BS? This strikes me as an incredibly naive take on squats and people's ability to do them. Likewise, a kid is a bizarre benchmark, because they haven't yet had decades to abuse their body. Duck feet/knocking knees/knee valgus or even shin splits will make squats incredibly uncomfortable if not implausible to do with correct form. Add to that years of being a software dev. I imagine there are many other conditions that would start you at -2 or more in terms of progression.

I'm not talking about a kid squatting with weight. I'm talking about simply squatting on the floor. It's a natural movement and one that's learned early.
