18, I think.
A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

I think you're going to surprise yourself and hit it while you're 20. Once you get into the swing of things and start loving squatting it's going to fly up.

Injured.

I was a freshman when I could squat 315 to parallel, it was one the most exciting things that happen to me freshman year.

I was 30.
To be fair, I didn't start lifting seriously till I was 29.

That's how I feel. I still haven't hit 3 plates. Which is pretty lame since I recently pulled a 425 dead lift. Originally Posted by Jeff Garvin

Well, seeing how 90% of kids squat, the question should be when, if ever, did it occur to a reasonable depth.
