“The full squat is a perfectly natural position for the leg to occupy. That’s why there is a joint in the middle of it, and why humans have been occupying this position, both loaded and unloaded, for millions of years. Much longer, in fact, than quasi-intellectual morons have been telling us that it’s ‘bad’ for the knees.”-Mark Rippetoe.

The Squat
“Down this road, in a gym far away,
a young man was heard to say,
“no matter what i do, my legs won’t grow”
he tried leg extensions, leg curls, and leg presses , too
trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he’d do.
from the corner of the gym where the big men train,
through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain
where the noise is made with big forty fives,
a deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees.
a very big man with legs like trees.
laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack
chalking his hands and monstrous back,
said, “boy, stop lying and don’t say you’ve forgotten,
the trouble with you is you ain’t been SQUATTIN’. ”
-Dale Clark
