Sandi, I think you just re-iterated the point of the post. “We agree that we’ve been conditioned to NOT be able to squat properly just as the majority of us have been conditioned to not run a 5K but does that mean its unhealthy”. As with everything… lifting weights, swimming, bicycling, even RUNNING it could be BAD to try too much too soon, and as with everything, it could be WORSE to accept that you don’t even try to train those muscles and that joint suppleness that’s required for the squatting postures.

Remember: these deep squatting postures aren’t achievable by most people who have grown up with chairs – they’ve lost the muscle and joint suppleness required. For these people, it could be BAD to try to go deep too soon (some would argue ever – the legs bones actually form different in people from squatting cultures)
