Goodmorrow,

How many members are over 6ft tall?

Is it harder to squat?

don't have any problems squatting deep biomechanically at all.

only problem is I have a fucked knee with athrosis/fucked meniscus that makes it painfull.

6’2 squatting for me always sucked with a bar, I enjoy db squats much better.

6'1"

Hate squatting.  It's actually okay with a smith machine, though, so I use that a lot for squatting.  (And nothing else.)  Feels good to lean against the bar and squat. 

When I squat in the rack with a regular bar, I feel it more in my hips and lower back, so I don't like it.

6'1" when I was younger. Probably closer to 6' now. The squat has always been a comfortable natural movement for me.

6'3, probably 6'2 now as I haven't measured myself in like a decade. Never had issues squatting, but it's not been in my routine for years.

Just got sick of the DOMs I got from squatting. Even if I did only 3 sets I'd be a cripple or the next 4 days.

Just under 6'2".

Did a ton of high bar squats without a problem.

Hit my head if I forgot to duck.
