I'm 27, in decent shape, and can't do it for long because of knee problems.
So, there's that.

Their programming for training is the main reason

It's not just Asians. Asians maintain the flexibility to sit like that more than most because it's part of their culture, but the Western squat where we squat on the balls of our feet is more unnatural than the Asian squat. Watch babies, they all squat the same way. As we grow up in our society, we lose that ability because in Western societies we tend to squat on the balls of our feet instead of the heels. It's actually terrible for your knees.

Of course programming is an essential factor, but if you are not genetically predisposed to engage in certain activities then it doesn't mean shite.
Do you really think that Jamaican sprinters adhere to superior programming than their athletic peers? Or do you think there is a chance that their genetic composition and physiology play a large role in their recent dominance?

Oh, you mean the squat? Quit benchin' and get to sittin'...to depth, and then stand back up.

It's the chair shortage, nothing more.

My daughter sits like that all the time. I tried it and my legs just don't bend that way.

Played baseball growing up. Played catcher for 8+ years. Can do that with ease.

My wife is Viet and can't do it. Meanwhile, I find it the most comfortable way of sitting. Nothing more Asian than the Asian squat, cigarette and cigarette box in one hand wearing flip flops and an oversized shirt.

I wonder if Kim Jung Un can still pull this off?

Legit never seen that. I wonder what the wife would think.

That's actually one of the best ways to remain in perfect shape. Ido Portal preaches the benefits of the squat and he's one of the most healthy in shape people in the world.
He believe people should squat like this at least 30 minutes each day. He even has a 30 day squat challenge.
I've done it. It's harder than you can imagine.

Yet not one of those Asian squatters is fat. Funny how overweight Americans with diabetes and heart problems sitting behind computer screens call fit Asian squatters weirdos.
LOL.
