or are there some people who are just not built to squat in the proper fashion and therefore should not do them?

I question this because, while I know that myself I am pretty inflexible, I just don’t see how my body would allow me to squat properly, even if I worked on said flexibility. by properly, I mean shoulder with or slightly wider leg stance, bar up on traps and ass to grass on the decent.

Pretty much all I am able to do is set up with a pretty wide stance and barely break parallel (which is fine for powerlifting of course, but maybe not for muscle develpment in my legs).

I just wonder if some people’s leverages are set up so that it is not a natural movement to squat, and doing so could cause more harm than good. these are the times I wish I didn’t train at home and had access to a leg press, i would be using it exclusively if I did.
