Does Everyone Need To Squat (Deep)?           "…….squats do a fantastic job of offsetting many of the postural
imbalances we see from those who spend much of their lives sitting in
front of a computer perusing Facebook or playing Angry Birds on their iPhone.

Someone
who can perform a proper squat demonstrates that they have the ample
ankle dorsiflexion, hip flexion, hip abduction, t-spine extension,
core stiffness, and glenohumeral ROM (among other talents) to do so.
This is quite a feat, given many people can't sit down onto a chair
without blowing out their back.

So the real question isn't, "Does everyone need to squat?" but rather, "Which squat variation (and by extension, depth) is the safest and most effective for any one individual?"

While
I'm 100% in favor of people squatting with a full ROM (which for me
is when the front surface of the thighs drop below knee level),
sometimes it's just not feasible, and borderline counterproductive."—Tony Gentilcore for TNation.com
