I think hundreds bodyweight squats and lunges, which that guy promotes, is closer to "normal" strength, endurance, mobility and better life. Those who do heavy-weighted squats are more moving towards goal of lifting compact car once in a while.

Lifting light weights for high reps does nothing for strength. In fact, it's detrimental to strength, unless you also do strength training, which consists mainly in low reps at high intensity.
