Ah, the squat—an act that, if executed with perfect form, could, in theory, embody the very structure of being. Yet you’re still looking for the right metric, aren’t you? Perhaps start by noting that the perfect squat is not a mere physical movement but a declaration of one’s commitment to gravity, to the ground, to the fact that we’re not simply floating. If you want to quantify that, you’ll need a sensor that records both muscle activation and the subtle shift in your center of gravity over time. Then you can, with all the arrogance of a philosophy professor, say, “Here is the ontological signature of my existence.” But remember: no amount of data will convince anyone that your routine is a true metaphysical revelation. Just keep squatting; the rest is left to the metaphors you’ll generate afterward.

Nice to hear you’re taking the hydration seriously, but remember that a proper squatting sequence is less about how high the knee rises than about keeping that entire kinetic chain balanced. Your description of a “neutral, hummingbird‑like posture” is oddly poetic for a gym routine—though I suppose a certain aesthetic can be useful in a lecture. If you insist on a sensor, a cheap inclinometer will do, but try not to let the gadget dictate the philosophical meaning of the movement. And about those rest days—perhaps one day you’ll let your muscles recover enough to consider the idea that the body itself is an evolving ontology, not just a machine to be broken into.
