She Had Longer Legs AND THEN

[@SquatUniversity]

What % is your femur length based on the rest I show today? . Shout out @baileyhaslam_ & @ever_so_fit for the collaboration & @muscleandmotion for the amazing anatomy graphics!

[@____alan]

33.8% (25” / 74”) No wonder switching to low bar made such a difference in comfort and max.

[@foresthill8462]

Dr Aaron is the type of honest guy to say 5'11" 😊

[@Lonelywarmsoul]

Yeah he honestly looks quite tall in his videos,i see a lot of people who claim being so tall and yet they are much shorter

[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

It’s really dumb that people feel like having that 1 extra inch is such a big deal. Especially because the imperial-unit system is so antiquated and tbh, even niche. I mean, what really is the difference between 1.80 meters and 1.82 meters lol. That being said, I can’t count the amount of times someone has told me I’m not 6’0, only to literally break out a measuring tape and be like “Oh I guess you are” lol. According to everyone, 6’0 doesn’t exist.

[@GameN3rdz]

​@Lonelywarmsoul well I'm 5'9

[@gcopeland442]

I was today years old when I found out my femurs are almost 33% 😮😮😮 Squats were always more comfortable when I took a wider stance. Makes so much sense now! ❤

[@Arrivillaga_]

This channel saves lives.

[@GameN3rdz]

Duh

[@ThineBrownSmear]

My femur makes up 35% of my height. Makes sense why I am horrible with squats.

[@maindepth8830]

It's just a skill issue

[@John_Smith455]

Wider squats and low bar allow you to be better

[@jansteen3100]

You can stil learn to squat proper

[@ThineBrownSmear]

Fellas I have a decent squat. It’s 1.5x my body weight for 3 reps. It just took an insane amount of effort compared to a lot of people I know.

[@Jonjones-l9t]

Mine are 33 lol and i also have a very bad squat

[@maikharing4876]

I'm at 31% and used to hate squats. But with the wider stance and a slightly elevated heel their fine and I start to like em.

[@baileyhaslam_]

Thanks for having us 🙏🏼💕

[@caracatoacacepe]

Nice squats

[@dennisthomas1903]

Thanks for the valuable information 😊

[@peartreedu]

Always wondered why I found squatting so disproportionately challenging compared to other lifts. I have a 31% for femur length. While I won't be squatting 300lb in my lifetime, this advice is much appreciated.

[@jasonbernstein2748]

Thank you for this.

[@jhezzy]

Great info. Thx!

[@Don2006]

I assume we're measuring hip joint to kneecap while seated? If so that puts me at 25-26%. I always assumed I had shorter femurs because squats are my best lift.

[@Seashəlls]

31%. I wasn't sure whether or not it was considered a long femur but wider stance and leaning forward was always best. I know why now

[@horseydestroyer9466]

And I'm relatively short for a guy, but my femurs are 33%, which finally explains why I don't like back squats

[@katmc8587]

I have both long femurs and ankle mobility restriction thanks to dance injuries (torn ligaments which healed with significant scar tissue). I've recently started squatting sumo and it's a game changer for me.

[@everett_arce_brushwork9657]

Lol my legs are definitely longer then my torso, this made me feel better about my squat form. I adjusted cause it just felt better then what i was told proper form was.

[@ChaostoKambo]

This was so helpful! Long femur 🦴 girl here

[@arthurmarcil6787]

my knees make a cracking sound when I get up from a deep squat. I tried doing 20 deep squats to see if the sound would stop. I tried multiple to do it in multiple ways but the cracking happened each time, I stood up. Feet wide and not wide. pointing toe in and out. Mix My friend joked that I have unlimited bubbles in my knees. 😂

[@AAkCN1]

Superb video

[@JohnGlow2]

Its crazy too because the girl on the left looks noticably shorter because of her femur length/ muscle mass, whereas the girl on the right looks a good deal taller due to having longer femurs and being leaner. Cool how these things work

[@MarianaTDC]

My % length femur is 30%, and i always struggle to squat low, it hurts my knees when i try to increase weights... I will try those tips tonight, it's my leg day ☺️

[@MHWGamer]

mine are roughly 33% (depends where you take the hip end point). With shit ankle mobility, no wonder that I look like gollum squating down. Also I am 5'11" as well and my torso is really long... I must have tiny shinbones lol

[@Skimautomaat]

Love the happy ending

[@frantisektoman8614]

Please do a video on snapping triceps syndrome

[@caracatoacacepe]

Got it, use the hack squat machine

[@FTDeBert]

I'm 5'1, and my femurs make up about 32% of my height. I knew my legs were long but golly that's a lot...lol.

[@farisakhtar4824]

What about Zercher squats instead of front squats? I could never get front squats right, but Zercher squats are easier

[@MrPretty20]

I love zerchers. Did them with a pin yesterday for first time. Got up to 300

[@farisakhtar4824]

@MrPretty20 I started doing them as I got a disc herniation from back squats

[@MrPretty20]

@@farisakhtar4824 tbh I don’t think people talk about them because they’re hard af

[@jarsa32]

189 cm and 57 femur. Thats why i like front squats

[@karenrogers9985]

Get moaned at a lot to stop leaning forward all the time. PTs are not getting this. I'm at 34%. No supermodel; femur to shin 3 to 2.😂

[@SamukangeNcomo]

💯 💯 💯

[@Seia894]

Knowing about femur length is a game changer

[@Pizmagic]

Different squat to move the world 🌍🌍😲... 🎶 Both girls look great squatting.. And look hot.. 🥵

[@MsPoliteRants]

My husband and I are 4 inches apart in height but have the same length inseam. He can squat like a toddler: effortless and comfortably. I cannot squat to save my life. Them femurs, man.

[@virinchimarrapu5371]

Does longer femurs also effect your deadlifts? I tend to struggle a lot and put load on my lower back a lot during deadlifts and a bit less during squats

[@FTDeBert]

It might just be a form issue. I have trouble with squats, but fine with deadlifts. Make sure you really engage your lats when deadlifting, that helps.

[@Okay_mate]

Femur length of 29%, zero issues squatting. At what x% do people start having problems? Feel like it's often (improperly) used as an excuse. Obviously, actually long femurs (whatever that is) would present difficulties.

[@myerwerl]

I have short legs 😢

[@Dr904]

My femur height is 30%. Which surprises me. Because my legs looks so proportionally short!

[@vaishali.tiwari]

Whopping 36% oh god, all of that makes sense now

[@arno7163]

35% no wonder I hated doing barbell squats and found more success with squat machines

[@TimUckun]

Nobody enjoys front squatting more.

[@Lonelywarmsoul]

The formula isn't working or maybe i've measured my femur wrong,because my legs are quite long

[@vegeta420z]

Pretty sure I have long femur, but front squats hurt my knees and my wrists

[@KrispyComodo]

My femur makes 30% of my height

[@ankita1102]

Oh my god mine is 39.5%. No wonder i hated squats and my trainer screamed at me for not being upright.

[@grey3414]

Woah. i need to adjust my stance then

[@Consistent05]

Mine is 33%😮

[@MrPretty20]

Same, I’m 6’5 too. I’m all femur

[@VictorHugo-iz7qw]

When measuring the femur you measure from your butt to knee?

[@hptfalcon1683]

26%.

[@MsDemonism]

I got the long femurs too

[@joshuas193]

I have a very long back. My femur was only 24.5% of my height

[@neptune9443]

what about tibia length percentage? Many variations possible

[@OMIIIIIIIIIII_]

No way you are 5'11

[@LEV1ATAN]

But tori is cute

[@MrArthys]

I am here for the double Blondie

[@Aurora-p1n]

Wait, what just happened? 😱 This is wild!

[@vantablackecho]

Which one is best for sprint speed? Long torso or long femurs?

[@bumpercoach]

What's more important is the femur:shin ratio... Super models are closer to 1:1
