Me too (not just squats, but getting getting strong).

Only started in my very late twenties, and it solved all sorts of niggles I had (occasional aches in one of my knees and ankle). It's improved my balance and I also noticed I no longer roll my ankles.

I'm now a few years in, in my mid-thirties and in the best shape of my life.

I also found the continual improvement aspect of training leaked into the rest of my life. Made me think hard about the other aspects of my life, what I was working towards and what I was doing to get there.

Start with Ripptoe's novice program and you'll see yourself do more than you thought possible.
