Fix Your Squat (In Just 3-Minutes)

[@HariPrasad-ll2ps]

One of the best body physiology content on KZbin

[@Darrenrulestheworld]

The best without a doubt

[@AF-ke9by]

I really enjoy the clarity of the content! Wearing the same, minimal clothing in every video shows the body motion, using a simple background, clear instructions… no distractions from the content! 💚 Between this channel, and Hybrid Calisthenics, I am very happy.

I can finally do deep squats. I had no idea how much I had let my mobility suffer over the years, and now I’m reclaiming it and it’s amazing! Thank you cali move! I will recommend you guys to anyone who’ll listen.

[@1komentator]

Hey, great to hear that you fixed it. May i ask how long did it take you and how bad was it?

[@Father_Brother_Son]

@@1komentator It took a while. I had to make it a daily thing. But a lot of regaining and keeping the ability comes down to just taking a few seconds every day to get down into that position and just hang out for a few seconds. I do it everywhere I can, especially when doing things like cleaning up items around the house, grabbing items from bottom shelves at the store, etc. anywhere I can work it in, I will. And now I can hang out there relatively easily, even while barefoot, without exhausting my thighs or falling backwards.

[@emilie6039]

Nice! Like a year?

[@Father_Brother_Son]

@@emilie6039 I’d say probably more like a few months. But I don’t just do the squatting, so my exercise and stretching routines probably aided in expediting the process of being able to do the deep squat. People may be starting from a better or worse starting point than I did in terms of hip mobility, ankle mobility, and muscle flexibility.

Ankle mobility is really really difficult to build up. I’ve been working on getting an “Asian squat” probably for over half a year. Keep at it! My legs feel “unlocked” and so much more loose and free now.

[@rodjaknenad6984]

Personally, ankle stretches against a wall were the gamechanger for me. I used to have pretty inflexible ankles and tried some dynamic stretches, but I've found that just leaning forward with one leg with my knee to the wall and the foot as far behind as I can manage comfrotably has massively improved my squating. I usually do it after my runs for around 45s per foot, or during my rests while working out. It is incredibly easy, the form cues are very easy to read, and it is a mobility gamechanger. Of course, I wouldn't have thought about trying a stretch like this without your recommendation of a general dorsiflexion stretch for the ankle, this is the same idea but just a bit modified to make it more efficient for me personally. So thanks for the tips and many thanks for providing us with quality content over the years.

[@ΝιναΑθανασιαδου-υ7γ]

I definitely needed this, because I always questioned myself If I do Squats right and now I know !!! Thank you sooooooo much ell egs and Sven!!! 💕💪

[@Jennifer-187]

Thank you for this. Every time I do a squat my brain whispers “don’t let your knees go over your toes” and I feel like I struggle more and put more strain on my lower back. I will tell my brain to hush next time. (Also, thanks to you I’m able to do a deep squat because of your mobility training. You guys are awesome!)

[@ottomanpapyrus9365]

Yeah. Not letting your knees get over your toes inhibit your natural movement, its not good. In fact your knees can and ARE supposed to go sleightly over your toes

[@surferkat24]

I can personally attest to injury when not allowing your knees to travel past your toes. Definitely let you knees travel past your toes! Best of luck my friend.

[@SethH-e6p]

Deep squats do nothing extra for your leg workout, and letting knees over toes will damage your knees. Just perform a simple squat

[@armax00]

The mobility program has gotten me to be able to do deep squats and even to do deep squats stretches. It's great. I am still not sure I am there but I can see I am way in better shape than I was 3 months ago. This video was a nice addition, with so many camera angles :)

[@scottbot2105]

Wait I thought the mobility program require you to already know how to deep squat before starting?

[@armax00]

@@scottbot2105 indeed, but what you can do is to reduce the range of motion and do the exercises anyway. Turns out I was doing it wrong so reality is that I cannot deep squat. This is not preventing me from continuing though. I am going through Level1 several times in the hope the base gets better so to progress to the next level.

[@soundmindtv2911]

I've never been able to squat with my heels on the ground, in my entire life from childhood. My whole life, no one ever helped me learn. I got ridiculed and criticized by "teachers," but never got taught. Thanks for this.

[@kenfreeman8888]

I love CaliMove's mobility program. My neck feels better in the evening when I do it in the morning. Not sure how that works, but it does. I'm adding this ankle mobility to improve my squat. Thanks!

[@jothidas369]

[@surferkat24]

This is literally the best squat video I've seen. I've struggled with my form for years, and just starting in this low squat position on the floor, and feeling what my back and legs should feel like in proper form was huge. I finally felt it!! Now, its locked in. Thank you so so so much for such a simple yet effective and truly game-changing video.

[@ΝιναΑθανασιαδου-υ7γ]

Omg another amazing and helpful video from the best Calistenic channels on KZbin!!! 😁💪

[@danielpardo4184]

It would make really happy if you did a pre sleep stretching video. I think a lot of us would appreciate it. Love the channel!!

[@jonathonsilbaugh2833]

I had bad knees for years. Stairs hurt, getting up from the floor hurt, couldnt do squats without pain. Doctors told me "yeah you got bad knees" like that was the root of the problem. This video literally fixed me, once I saw how my own posture was sabotaging me I was able to get instant relief by making those little adjustments.

[@normgillespie4201]

After 4 joint replacements still don't know what got me into sqatting. Gotta get my sqats in or don't feel right.

[@aweave24]

Great video! Could you give an explanation why your knees can be in front of your feet, or why it's a common concept that you shouldn't do it? Are there certain movements you should still avoid doing that?

[@SethH-e6p]

Knees over toes damages your knees. With that, there's no reason to perform a deep squat aside from flexibility. If you want a leg workout, just do a simple squat with knees aligned with toes

[@leonmiller7349]

Outdated information which has left a 31 year old man such as myself feeling like an old man. I’m now regaining mobility and strength since incorporating knees over toes! That plus barefoot shoes. I feel like superman

[@TwistyTrav]

The inward/outward angle of your knees is determined by the orientation of a person's anatomy; whether the hip bones are anteverted or retroverted. It has little to do with hip mobility, and more to do with their anatomical limitations. Not all hip bones are exactly the same and there is some variation to take into consideration.

[@Nah481]

Working on releasing tight QL, hips and ankles Used to do this with ease! Office work, the wrong chair, and high heels are a killer

[@MrBoogiemoney]

The knees can definitely go past the toes. Knees over toes guy has proven this. And plenty of tests have been done. The best way to go is to combine both types of squats my knees are now pain free because of knees over toes. As always great content. I've been following for 4 years now and mean no disrespect.

[@ottomanpapyrus9365]

yeah. Because not letting your knees over your toes inhibit your natural movement and put unnecessary stress on kness

[@BackiNator123]

i can not for the life of me go into a deep squat. my ankles just wont allow it. im doing all these stretches and dorsiflexion work for a week now and will try to continue. but the fact that i cant find one success story of one person who absolutely could not do it and is now able to (and how long it took) makes me very concerned. ill be continuing my daily stretches then

[@lollipop6482]

Same :P I've been doing mobility exercices for my ankles as a warm up for my leg days since a few months now. I think it maybe got a little bit better but not a lot, it's quite frustrating. I think I'll try them daily, maybe that works. xD Have you made improvements so far?

[@BackiNator123]

@@lollipop6482 absolutely not. i am sad to say i had to Stop because i rather got pretty Bad pain in the front of my ankle rather than improving Mobility. i even visited a doctor (even tho his Intention to help me was questionable). i just accept that i am probably Not able to do it no matter how long i Stretch. but for now i had to stop cause Walking started hurting. sad and frustrating. today i treated herbs in my garden and again thought how helpful it would be to do that but rip my knees now lol

[@beeankha]

Are you just doing flexibility? Mobility needs strength and flexibility. Have you tried 5-10mins walking backwards as a warm up? Have you tried alternating sets of tibialis raises and calf raises (bent and straight leg)? They might help. Kneesovertoes guy has more tips for ankles, knees, and hips

[@hasslerism]

Great video, I really wish they addressed mobility issues while in school, physical education is a joke.

[@ajayawchar7433]

Shoulder have pull and push both exercises the when should we do shoulder workout, on pull day or push day?

[@entspannter_hase]

In my unqualified opinion you could combine both into one workout, maybe even into super sets. Chest flies/pushups and rows can probably be combined into a superset and they make you hit front and back parts of the shoulders.

It all becomes so unclear when you hear everyone talk about not rounnding your back, but see this guy round his back and have no problem with it

[@leonmiller7349]

Rounding your back in a resting/Asian squat is fine. The more you do it, the easier it will be to have a more neutral spine. A rounded back with a weighted barbell on your back is a different story !

[@yishujia186]

Please suggest exercises to mobilize the thoracic spine. Thoracic mobility is also important in squat, right?
