I totally solved the bathtub size issue. The shape was wrong and Japanese had it right. I am 72 kg and 177cm. Very economical too, with 20 liters I can totally submerge. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HDwDf1s4PD3KoW3c8

I don't know how much of a joke this is, but it does seem like a pretty good solution. I wonder how easy it is to get in and out of it though.

It is flexible, so the width of the bucket is not critical. Of course it is essential you are from some nordic-asiatic squatting culture, and can squat comfortably for hours. Youtube-videos seem to prove that that you cannot become squatter later in life.

Anyways one should check the barrel at the junkyard. If you can get in, it is easier get out because the water is lifting you.

Wait, really?

Squatting is like playing piano. If you don't start at the age of 5 then you will never be good at it.

That's not true though. I learned Piano at 18, and fine I may never become a virtuoso, but I'm good enough play what I want to play.

I learned to squat at 30. Hes full of it.

He says that you can definitely learn it later in life, it's a muscle building exercise like any other

Its a bath... Youre gonna float which takes load off the squat. Its not hard and as someone who acquired squatting posture later in life youtube is wrong. Also why do you need to be able to squat for hours? How long are you bathing???

The problem is getting in and out. You have to basically enter it before it is filled (accessible version allow this).
