Simple Hack For Long Femur Squatters!

[@bigguy4u989]

clarence is basically an alien with the amount of forward lean he can deal with on a high bar beltless squat.

[@bubbag8895]

His knees are wrecked

[@bigguy4u989]

@@bubbag8895 they WERE wrecked, mainly from volume and not from any technical flaws, then once he recovered he switched to a squat with more forward lean to put less stress on his patella tendons.

6’8” here. Widening your legs as a tall guy with long femurs is the way to go for sure

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

Yeah look at Lasha, arguably the greatest lifter of all time. He’s got very long legs, and has great squat depth

[@CoryMacManusgolie]

6’8? That’s freakishly tall, you should upload a few videos of your squat

Been working with Fitz for a while, and can confirm knees forward has been so important, for the squat but also for the jerk dip.

Long femurs conventional deadlifters

[@utkn]

Case in point: David Woolson. He's on the extreme end of the spectrum, but once I went from shoulder width to something like elbow width, my squats got much more consistent. Just gotta keep the hips healthy.

[@EvanWSH]

Working on ankle mobility and using higher lifting shoes can help slightly. If your femurs arent crazy long it might be enough lol

[@teknoreaper9232]

I have fairly long femurs so I found a close squat stance caused me to fall backwards, but I forced it cause due to having weight on my back during squats I wasn’t falling back and didn’t realize it wasn’t suited for me. This caused me a lot of hip impingement problems in both legs, but now that I’ve widened my stance, my hip impingement, while not gone, has left to the point where I can squat maximal loads without much pain distracting me. I still can’t do too much though or my right side feels iffy for the next few days. It’s getting better though boys.

[@FeeFeeThePirate]

Narrow stance, feet forward and just accept more of a forward lean. I feel my quads way more when doing that

[@kevinwheeler5595]

#teamlongfemur here and I have to take a wide stance or else Im not even getting down to parallel

[@ebenezersureshworkaccount8947]

I've naturally taken this widen stance and glad to see someone had confirmed it's use in squatting. Thanks for sharing.

[@sayitoutloudchp]

Same here

[@davidrioux611]

Clarence balance hip shift and unfavorable back angle so quickly it might be advantageous for him using more hamstrings. He still squats so well. He is aware of that deviation.

[@barryallen767]

He did it because of pain, not because of some trick he learned lmao Clarence himself has said that he had better squat form earlier when he was not injured.

[@FistfulOfGabagool]

i just don't like the feeling of a wide stance squat, i end up feeling my adductors and glutes more than my quads. narrow stance i may have more of a torso lean but i still feel quad more than anything.

[@sayitoutloudchp]

Narrow is just prettier too 😂

[@cakescakescakes]

front squats

[@GetUnwoke]

same I like narrow but I read that's more to do with the shape of your hip joint/socket. Not everyone's is shaped for wide stance.

[@cad0420alice]

Omg thank you. I’ll try this tips!

[@mattynffc1800]

With a proper ankle warm up and him warm up I have a wider stance and point my toes out and I can sit just below parallel, just play around and find what’s best for you

[@DARE-vn1um]

so i have long femurs, but also very narrow hip sockets. i literally cannot squat wide past 90° no matter what. my body literally can’t. i’ve adopted a shoulder width stance and went highbar with squat shoes and i’ve found this is how i can comfortably squat the most weight

[@rhl2903]

Low bar can be good

[@Ultrabenbooyah]

Problem is my legs bend forward, not sideways. My hips open to the front, not the side, its different from person to person. Wide stance does not work for me.

[@littleoldlifter]

Ironically have short legs but longer femurs and long long back upper body with arthritic knees know so knees don't travel as used to passed knee's find staying narrower better.

[@rudolphrudolph4404]

when I try to squat with wide stance and toe angles, I end up leaning on one leg more than the other and I feel like I have less tension at the bottom of the squat in my torso (I don't use a lifting belt) . with less wide stance and narrower angle I can feel the tension as I go down better and lean less on one leg and feel a lot more pressure and tension at the bottom keeping my bottom position feeling strong.

[@gulinborsti]

im tall 191cm, but wide squats are no for me, with cant reach below paralel, it look like gm/sq or powerlifter sq, even with my inborn wide hips best position for me is sholder widh with toes point out a little, and first move is ass back then down, and i can sit atg, paused any time i want with straight back. Also front sqs are more natural to my build. Zerch sq and behind back dl are hitting my legs very good, so as lunges. U have to expirement to find your best position, and your best postion can change with time, coz your weight/more muscle, fat leg tissue, age, many cases can be with time going.

[@scottwebster8756]

Short guy (5'7") long femurs. Narrow hips. Wider stance in the squat was never going to work. Upright torso, high bar squat with a narrow stance works for me.

[@jiageng1997]

I have long femurs but deep inset hip sockets so I can’t activate my glutes in a wide stance. Fml

[@johnvishwas9117]

The problem with this is that it stops translating into vertical strength

[@himeshsinghshishodiya]

No.

[@barryallen767]

No it doesn't That's a myth

[@Nexus_One_Alpha]

What constitutes a "long femur?"

[@marcosmontiel8331]

have you ever done lat pull down and you have to move the bar up more than anyone else

[@Nexus_One_Alpha]

@@marcosmontiel8331 yeah that's definitely not a judge if one's femurs are long or not. If I were 1.4 meters in height, I could still have "long femurs." As alluded to in the video (I think), it's relative to the length of one's tibia and fibula (or maybe their trunk/spine as well?). My question is what constitutes having "long femurs," i.e., what is the ratio between femur and the tibia/fibula which would constitute having "long femurs," or is it also relative to other anatomical structures, such as the spine?

Depends. Long torso short femurs is more optimal for squatting deep easily. If you cant, mobility or form improvements.

What if i have super tight hips, long femur and not great ankle mobility? Im sitting 5 minutes everyday on a deep squat (been doing it for a couple of months now) but cant get rid of huge butt wink, and have tight hips always. Not doing weightlifting currently though, just squatting to parallel and some elevated-heel goblet squats to work full ROM. Is that a good plan?
