Are you talking about doing squats with just ones own bodyweight or are you talking about doing squats with a barbell which equals ones bodyweight ? If you're talking about barbell squats then I will have to disagree. What if one isn't able to squat a barbell which equals ones bodyweight ?. Does that mean that their entire fitness is a failure ?. Nobody should be forcing themselves into doing heavy squats unless they feel like they want to do squats and have sufficient mobility to do them safely.. A barbell squat isn't some magic bullet for super fitness. There are many people out there who are not built for doing barbell squats and will never be able to do ATG squats with a barbell which equals their bodyweight and then there are people who just don't want to do squats and there is nothing wrong with that.
