Been using this as my squat warm up routine. It has helped so much with my mobility and depth, really great warmup. In general it feels good to squat after a good warmup!
I came upon these on my own and love the way I can also get a good lat stretch if I position my hands up high on the post. Then I waddle back away from the post to do more ankle/knee/hip mobility work. Now I'll be adding those calf stretches to round em out.
He has a bunch, resistance band around the front of the ankle to mobilize the bone causing the impingement. I had it and my ankle cleared up in a few weeks of rehabbing
My largest problem is my ankle mobility. Any time I try using this to try to increase my ankle RoM, I feel zero stretch through my achilles and instead it transfers into the medial part of my ankle. I think it's the flexor retinaculum that's stretching, but I don't know for certain.
Sadly my hip joint (labrum I think) doesn’t allow me to squat that deep with rounding my back. It’s not a flexibility issue but clearly a joint mobility problem. I also have terrible knee flexion and can’t even sit on my calves in a kneeling position
I had the same problem like you. Still working on the first one, but for the second, daily streches of quads and practicing to sit on the calves worked. Now I can comfortably sit for 5 minutes or more. Took 2-3 months though. Good luck.
I can’t sit on my calves either, it really hurts my knee area. Was this the same symptom that you guys had? Will definitely try and do those stretches!
I have no issue with deep squat. Instead I am over-flexible in the spine, so that the deep squat always results in buttwink. My best warm up is to load the squat with 120% of my max 1 rep and then only "stand there" for 20 sec a few times, before reducing weight and squating properly
I have never heard of being "over-flexible" in the spine. It is normal to be able to flex the lumbar spine. Usually, butt wink is due to a lack of ankle mobility. Squat U has some videos and shorts on the topic, so does Alan Thrall.
The girl at the beginning doesn’t seem to quite grasp the point of the movement. The point isn’t to just shimmy left and right at the bottom. Lean forward with purpose over each ankle to feel a stretch in your calf and achilles tendon to help ankle mobility. I also push my knees out with my elbows but I find for me personally, sitting indian style, gripping the front of my feet, and pulling forward gives me a better groin stretch. Key is to find what works for you and helps your movements or just helps you feel more loose. Im just not a flexible guy.
@@alexk-gr8kq youll feel it. Rule of thumb is to try to stack your joints. Knees over toes. You might have excellent ankle mobility and it feels like you are doing nothing but you should feel a great stretch in your achilles tendon at minimum
this is not for everyone, some people have a bone structure that simply doesnt allow them to squat deep, and its ok, dont break ur back trying this if u have that skeletal structure

Been doing this before squats for a couple years. Always nice to hear a professional validate something you came up with on your own.
Good tip. Working on Asian squat before adding weight.

Can you please do a video addressing ankle imobility caused by inpingement in the front of your ankle?

my hips feel good just watching this
Understandable 😂
Great tip as always, thank you!
That calf stretch is key !
Thank you so much, you really helped me with my form
Useful 👏
bro you fixed my stiff squat in one reel

Especially the plane that stretches the groin is very helpfull
Squat hero!!!
the squat rack at my gym has those unremoveable safety bars which make ATG squats impossible for me,
Squat outside the rack. Let Jesus take the wheel.

Can you make a video on full legs strengthening with patellar chondromalacia?
Good to know i sometimes so the Right things just by feeling 🥰
Then why you subvert the host?
I stopped squatting for a few months and now when I squat I feel pain in my groins. Never had it b4.
I need this
Can someone please tell me What’s the name of the song in the beginning of the vid?
this wezZ the healthiest movement everdone by e femal candidate !!!
Tryna give us Megan knees 😤
why can I only do a barbell squat with weight? I can’t do goblet squats while holding weight
what could I work on to help with this?
Your ankles are too tight.
Can something be done if my dorsiflexition is 💩?
I wish. My hips/knees are the issue. I can barely get to parallel
I do this in a sumo strech intuitively
You could just hold the squat and breathe allowing psoas and ql to relax pelvis.
Some of us who have had multiple knee surgeries and are now bone on bone cannot bend the knees enough to do your recommended stretches.
What if knee mobility is the limiter?
was there a plug on the floor?🤔

@@srbasha74 how to you sit on the calves

I think I used too heavy of a plate and hurt my knee trying to bring it over my toe.
My knees hurt when I do that 😭
Idk if I can do that flat footed without falling back
😏
😊

Meanwhile we in indonesia can deep squat for hours with cigar and alcohol in both hand...

Basically describing the Asian squat.
We do that effortlessly.
My calves are so tight I simply can't... I'm working on it though...
This looks like an Asian squat?
try to doo 3 sek. stretch before every rep you doo
in all your woorking sets
heavy lifters do not even think ...
are you gay ?
I just don't squat anymore. Not worth it for my aesthetic goals. Leg Press works just fine for me.
how to squat deeper
no.1 : be asian
