Long-femured solidarity! At the bottom of a squat, if my thighs are against my calves, my arse is two inches off the floor. I have to go for a "wide stance" and lean way forwards just to stay in balance and not end up unexpectedly sitting down.

Which doesn't mean I'm not working towards being able to do a one-legged squat one day. It's just helpful and encouraging to know that there's a reason why this is a lot harder for me than some other things are.
