I posted a video awhile back about the deep resting squat and received a lot of comments about what to do when it caused pain to be in the position. So this video is a response to those requests. The video covers the main mobility, stability and anatomical considerations that would effect the deep squat position.

This man told me “it’s ok to go wider than shoulder width” and I was able to squat to depth on the first try. Crazy how that works…
My mind is blown on how much has changed
That knees over toes mobility is crucial!!! For the longest time the advice in the gym even from trainers is "not to allow your knees to go past your toes", and as a result most of us had terrible knee mobility. Knee over toes mobility increases mobility of the knee joint and cuts down on irritation from over use. It also ensures you can get into the various athletic positions comfortably without binding.
My two cents.
Started fitness in 2017. Trainers back then said don't let knees past toes and don't train hipflexors.
Resulted me in imbalances in my knees ankles and hips and also translated upwards into my shoulders being imbalanced as well. Also back then people only talked about the scapulas importance of posture but neglected the hips positioning needed for correct posture.
@@FirstLast-pt7bm yes to all of that! Mobility isn't an afterthought its crucial.
Glad to see this channel is back. You always give different perspectives to training. Cheers!
Thank you for such a concise and informative breakdown, I’m so glad to see you’re creating new videos.
Just discovered your channel, awesome stuff, please keep posting 🙏
Illustration and content length is always so on point! Love the videos ♥️
Quality content!! 💯🔥💪🏾
This was quite useful. I'd never heard hip flexion described as moving your lower spine towards your thighs. I've been working on mastering movement technique. But I've struggled to understand why my hip flexion wasn't improving. This description really helped clarify what it's supposed to feel like as I flex my hip
Great video!
So helpful! Thank you 🤎
Great information.. Can you do a video on isometric wall sits and different variations
This channle is very original and amazing
underated video
Thanks!
I notice on this, and your previous vidro on squatting, that you don't mention knees as a reason people may not be able to do this. I'm 63, I have arthritis, old injuries and old surgeries, in my knees. I'm practicing my squatting and can achieve the "prayer position ", but not the sitting squat, my knees are too painful. I'm doing what I can to strengthen the muscles/tendons.
a visual perceptionist thanks you :-)
Nice video! Just wondering why where you absent for so long?
I had some health problems, took the medical community a long time to figure out what was happening. Mostly better now and getting back to life and even starting to work out again. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@moversodyssey Happy to hear that! Keep the quality work

Ha! I, too, need a pretty wide stance, but not due to hips but to so that my belly has enough space to get through between the thighs🤣
What do you recomend then if you don't advice crunches for abdomen excercises
I would say hollow body holds, ab wheel and L- Sit are all pretty good options. There are a lot of variations of these as well that all do pretty good.
What if you have old aching knees? If I go too low, my knees give out
Well, for sure this isn't for everyone. I have a long standing torn medial meniscus in one knee and while I can do an ass to grass squat with bodyweight, if I add more than 30lbs to it my knee starts to degrade pretty fast. So I stick with bodyweight squats during warm up and then switch to other, more friendly strength exercises for the main workout. Luckily there are some great lower body exercises that are still pretty easy on the knees. Kettlebell swings, carefully done single leg squats (don't go down to far, don't allow knee valgus, and hold onto something for balance in the beginning if necessary), single leg deadlifts, horse stance holds, and shin box hip rotations for mobility.
But there are some "hacks" that tend to help with knee pain for a lot of people you can try. In fact they are almost never a bad thing to do either way. Stretching and releasing the quads and adductors takes a lot of pressure off the knee and takes away knee pain altogether for some people. And strengthening the glute medius and hamstrings often greatly increases stability of the knees. When my knee starts hurting I grab my monkey feet apparatus and start doing hamstring curls and lateral leg raises and use the massage gun on my quads and adductors just before stretching them. Always helps a lot. Best of luck, hope this helps.
