^^^Why in the world should most people learn to squat powerlifting style? So they can have bad mobility and thus add to their potential feet and knee problems? Most people can learn to back squat and maybe front squat properly and get HEALTHIER. It is MUCH easier for a person who does an "olympic" squat, or at least a squat that has the basic tenets of that and perhaps a fairly deep front squat to then later on learn a powerlfiting squat and have that as a part of their training as well. As well as overhead squats, etc.. But for someone to LEARN to squat "powerlifting style" to switch over to ANYTHING that requires decent mobility is MUCH more difficult. And if you have any kind of weird knee issues, foot issues, etc... the last thing you want to comprimise is mobility.

Look at it this way...you could see plenty of succesful weightlifters becoming successful powerlifters but you won't hardly ever see any succesful powerlifters becoming sucessful weightlifters.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
