Is there any reason why I shouldn't exclusively do squats?

Bad for your knees after a while. Was doing squats 3 times a week pretty hard and after about 3 months, I really noticed something was starting to hurt in my knees, including some slight popping.
Took a small break for a week and a half or two and slowly progressed the weight back to the point where there wasn't as much stress and I feel okay now. But just be cautious
Some people can, some people can't. I squat at least 3 times a week and my knees are fine. Just depends on you bro.
Give it a shot and see if your body can handle it.

Low reps per set on a strength training program is absolutely fine x3 a week. However the same cannot be said for high rep routines.

You will enter t-rex mode
More importantly, is there any reason why I shouldn't exclusively do deadlifts?
because who the fuck cares about your squat other than virgin males on online forums

I've had a few down times due to injury (nothing to do with lifting, it's all accidental shit), I prefer starting off with deadlifts for a bit and gradually adding other bits. There are some god tier variations too for (p)rehab.

In my case, my knees hurt less the more I do it.
