I definitely found that it took me a while to be able to do squats at all, purely from a flexibility point of view. Now I have the same problem with deadlifts; it's trivially easy for me to lift 20 lb if I'm using my whole back and legs to do it. But it's really hard for me to squat right down to the floor to pick up the bar. I feel like I haven't got much to lose if I keep working on form with light weights, though.
