Steve, the above line is epic. This hit me like a ton of bricks. I am in my 50's, active and healthy, but not taking my strength as seriously as i should after a good LP, just resting my my laurels. Sometimes I forget despite my reading the boioks and the forum that if you are not getting stronger, as a middle aged man I amm getting weaker. Sarcopenia starts a lot earlier than i would like to think. Just a classic line, simple but so meaningful.
But a question on this line. I am not seeing why this may be true. i would have guessed the opposite.
Edit to add a further thought: With a limited ROM in an ankle, the squat as defined by SS:BBT is the one you have the best chance of being able to perform correctly, since knee travel is less in this squat than the other variants.
