you think they build strength equally?

Strength in what? The squat? The half squat? Finger push ups? It's an open ended question that you can trap an answer with.

If the athlete wants to get stronger in the squat, certain movements will make them stronger. Simply squatting is not the only answer. If you're out of the hole strength is stronger than your lock out, what good is it if you can't get the full squat? So now, lower the weight, squat so you can do the full squat. Now you are doing less weight in your bottom position to help the top part.

Sure, you can get back to the right balance by lowering the weight and moving up sequentially but the bottom end will weaken in the mean time. You can move up from there. That's an option.

You can also work on your weakness and round out the lift without weakening the bottom end. Another option.

See there are no absolutes.

I believe every person needs different coaching needs based on technique and experience.
