eventhou we built differently, the basic movement are still the same, regardless of level too...
Not entirely true. A shorter torso squatter, will have a field day squatting. A lifter with shorter femurs in comparison to the tibia would squat differently too. Some guys like those with a short femur, long torso and insufficient ankle mobility will shit himself trying to squat deep. And then there are individuals with long femurs and short torso who will use the above technique perfectly. Generally a 1:1 femur:tibia length with a medium torso make the best squatters and pullers. So go measure yourselves before.
And you'll see that squatting 140KG is a whole different ballgame from squatting 200KG. The basic is obviously the same, up and down, but in no way is it the same at all.

appreciate the lengthy explanation but, when i say "basic movement", im implying the very basic knowledge of squats, regardless or weights, levels, long, short, etc... means keep you back straight, tighten your core, fasten your grips, down and up, yada yada ... as for your explanation, there is an article arguing whether to squat balls deep or just parallel, long story short, it suggest just over parallel (is best for both tall n short world) ... and when you said squatting 140kg is different from 200kg? you are forgetting that weight are relative to everybody, 140kg for me is like lifting a truck but 200 for u might be like a walk in the park... again, im not suggesting you should squat deep, from my post i didnt said that...but is a common sense here for taller ppl to have longer range of motion is nothing new... i assuming the whole ROM thingy should be understood before venturing into bodybuilding...
I don't know whether is this psychological or what, but 3 out of 4 days i would be doing stuff that involves spinal compression, squats and deadlifts. I also sit in front of the computer ALOT during the day, and i would feel lower back discomfort, a kind of dull ache. It's not painful, just the discomfort.
