Why Deep Squatting is Critically Important

[@aPenguinWarrior]

My old workout partner told me how he couldn't go that low. I would tell him that he needed to start squatting deeper, and he would always tell me no. He would go down about 45 degrees, on his toes, and come back up. He just makes excuses because he can't squat as much as me, so he does higher weight with awful form. I'm tempted to send this video to him.

[@masternoify]

45 degrees is aright

[@kuaana94]

i have a friend with a similar issue, however he physically could not go lower because he has short achilles tendons that took him a very long time to sort out. Perhaps your friend is suffering from the same thing? Also creating a 45 degree angle is pretty deep if you have big legs (I don't know him so I obviously don't know if he does).

[@FinSituation]

I know that feeling, bro.

[@d3miiig0d46]

It's not for everyone.

[@Alistair]

Alexander Perreira he said he goes down 45 degrees, not that he goes down to 45 degrees. So, he goes down to 135 degrees :p

[@racenuke]

Had to turn down the volume a few times in this video so my roomates won't come in my room questioning me for why im watching a video on relaxing the anus lol

[@Andrew_Georghiou]

HAHAH hilarious

[@savgal1211]

HAHA! Comment of the month!!

[@turfdancer78]

hahahahahahha😂

[@haanzop]

HAHAHA hilarious, made my day

[@demonhunter02]

Dude! Lol, You're the type of roommates I need, haha. My roommates wouldn't get the concept and aren't even down with health and strength/fitness. I wish I had roommates that watched Elliott Hulse! I'd feel much more comfortable!

[@gysteel6650]

people say they cant squat atg... but when you take the barbell away they squat atg no problem. Get strong!

[@elliotthulse1]

You don't need to back / front squat with lots of weight to aid in your Physiological Strength. You can just practice the stretches I showed you and progress your bodyweight squat.

[@UrMOMsaidiTok]

2:25 "It allows poop to happen in a in a in a in a very effective fashion" lmao

[@elliotthulse1]

squatting for muscle growth is a different thing than squatting for physiological strength. so if someone chooses not to squat for muscle, that is fine. but you must still be able to physically bend your ankles, knees and hips in a way that allows your thighs to rest on your belly to be a fully functional person.

[@efitwithnick]

"You have to squat, anybody that has legs HAS TO SQUAT." -My favorite Elliot quote

[@TheLeanMachines]

Absolutely agree and really enjoy watching your videos, especially when you explain why they are functional movements and the effects they have on the nervous system, very knowledgable.

[@Toymit]

Two things this video inspired me to do after watching. 1) Take a dump 2) Ass to grass squat.

[@Livesinashack]

😂

[@pixelnetwork1430]

I also think it's the rise in nutritionally empty food in the last 100-50 years which has contributed to constipation too.

[@FranciscoRodriguez-qo9ml]

i am always so amazed at how much knowledge you bring to the table, you've always been way beyond your time. blessings to you my friend

[@scab268]

OH MY GOD this video has explained my entire life. when I try to sit on a toilet normally I have such a hard time pooping but when I squat it comes right on out

[@manlyphal959]

Dude, you're a genius. I just purged a wicked one after a deadly squat session. This makes total sense, like all your vids.

[@IamSamSammIam]

So squatting deep helps relaxes your colon and take a better shit? You've sold me.

I love this guy and the way he explains everything. He's an absolute genious, thanks Elliot

[@ticarecipes23]

I started to read "Starting Strength" by Mark Rippetoe and the info you presented in this video is a great addition to what I'm learning. I used to be constipated prior to 2005 (before doing deep squats) and after watching your video I can conclude that deep squatting has helped...diet and fiber has also helped I'm sure. Thanks for educating us and keep it up bro.

[@Manxtommyb]

I think this is one of my favourite video's of Elliott's.

[@jamesdaley3165]

man i think you have become my personal trainer i could say alot of things but one thing is for sure you are so down to earth and i totally get that nerve thing you bring up now and then ... so .. thanks mate.

[@Jbonefourfive]

So basically squats make gainz for my asshole?

[@Apaz3392]

Lmaooo yeah pretty much

[@justmyopinion1409]

Yea. It helps you take a bigger shit too.

[@PeteMercerFitness]

That balance is the hardest thing. Nothing shows off how bad your mobility is like an overhead squat, I love it!

[@LethalWiener]

So the main reason anyone should squat is so they can poop healthier?

[@michaelcirino6796]

haha...as soon as he said that I had to look at the comments.

[@chenbrah6995]

you elliot, thanks for your selflessness and sharing what you know to others for free!, your preaching of your knowledge is invaluable

[@BNayrb]

Thanks Elliot. When I first started lifting I was still using a toilet but now I can't shit without loading up 2 plates and doing a back squat shit.

[@RawFitChris]

Absolutely some of the best workout advice and explanation on the web. Good stuff Elliot. Men and women need to work their squat, regardless of structural genetics. It's the undisputed king of exercises for so many reasons, many of which you never hear about until this video. For most, at least build a solid base for the movement itself, then go from there.

[@torbjrnhaugan4437]

Secretly Elliot is am undercover slav #gopniknation

[@stevooo1790]

This dude is a fucking genius! Ive been learning so much from this channel. truly educational and inspiring content. Ive gained all my weight back (25lbs) after falling off of going to the gym for a while and Im not planning on falling off ever again. These videos give me the motivation, tools, knowledge, and everything else I need on top of all the other aspects of drive I utilize. Much much respect to Elliott.

[@deathquest03]

He called the shit poop!

[@jonathaninteriano8389]

Lmfao! xD

[@harriedsloth4399]

turd, crap, dookie, deuce, bowel movement, feces, scat, log, number two

[@AdzTurner]

Deep squatting has really helped my running performance. Over the last few months I have been practicing full bodyweight squats, and now my VMO muscles activate more and I can breath a lot deeper when I run. I have to be fully warmed up to do a very deep squat but overtime I can get deeper when my muscles are 'cold'. My groin muscles have loosened up a lot as well.

[@Sn1peralex]

Omg. Just realised that the way I sit in the toilet isnt weird... to all my family who caught me squating while I took a shit, IM NOT A FREAK!!!

[@slowlynow9]

So late but this shit made me laugh so hard

[@LovingSoul61]

Lmao so weird SAME🤣

[@sodapop2930]

Lol.. me too when. I was a kid

[@justbuildit6738]

was looking for squat videos today in working back into squats. first time ill be squatting again since injurying my back in the mountains... you are the man sir. thank you going to work on overhead squats and stretching today thanks!

[@Muskuteerboy1996]

I love all the haters. Look at this fucking guy, he is enormous. Clearly the guy knows what he is saying and doing because, well, look at him. You're ignorant to not take this guy's advice and stupid to challenge it if you are not up to par or more muscular than him. I have gained 50 pounds of muscle from this guy and his advice, shut the FUCK up if you think what he is telling you is garbage.

[@MiteyMax9]

Haters are everywhere. Also, people have their opinions. I mean it's the internet after all. You know?

[@positiivi_teme]

Grant Lucarelli Truth to be told, I wouldn't believe a guy based on his size. I would base it on the things he says and does. Also know as how he promotes his knowledge on the subject. But not to worry, Elliot knows how to separate his shit from poop.

[@andymccreight5555]

Lucaragecage I myself am no expert in weight lifting as i am not trying to be good at excersising lol. Although i have trained for the better part of 15years having done several differenta types of weight lifting such as plyometrics catered towards my sport! I can tell you this man is a total idiot! When looking at his "6 pack" it is clear he is taking a form a steriod or HGH due to his stomach being more swollen than a women whom is 6months pregnant! I actually havent watched this video but seeing it is 8 minutes long i know he is yet again giving incorrect advice! Deep squats vs parallel squats?! Deep squats promote more growth hormone within your body telling your legs to grow and get stronger, that is it!! It has no other benefit!

[@boslss]

Andy Mccreight what do you think he is saying? your saying to squat deep but when he says it he is an idiot? makes no sense bro.

[@lutze5086]

Lucaragecage and how do you know that he knows what he's taking about. you making progress from his advice only means he has more information than u

[@alix-rw8be]

that actually did help -- my squats are crap as yet, but showing how one can start improving them was very useful. thanks!

[@shadowcloud1994]

Edit: I'm not saying you shouldn't work on your mobility so that you can someday squat ATG. I'm saying that you shouldn't force it and instead work on mobility first for quite some time, because chances are that right now you can't do it safely. Most people should not deep squat at all. For people with a history of back injuries in the family it's very dangerous. Most people lack sufficient mobility to squat deep (you need more than just "good" mobility. It need's to be awesome mobility). Lots of people can not squat deep even with perfect mobility due to anatomy. They always get a strong buttwink which you really wanna avoid as soon as you get up to even just 250 pounds. I did that for 1 day and had a back injury (I also have 2 or 3 cases of severy back injuries in the family). For me personally it's definitely impossible to deep squat unless I develope ridiculous ankle mobility so my knees go far over my feet (which is actually something you want to avoid aswell). It's true deep squatting gives the best results but it doesn't outweight the dangers. If you lifted for a long time and can easily deep squat the by all means do it, but most of the population and almost no beginner will be able to squat below parallel even without high risks.

[@shadowcloud1994]

WahdicalWeftist And you sound like someone with a fucked up back in 5 years. For anyone who lifts for recreational purposes (aka no bodybuilder, powerlifter etc.) deep squatting is not neccessary at all and more than just potentially dangerous, because chances are you will hurt yourself more than one time doing it. Squatting to parallel is fine but you don't need to go deeper.

[@shadowcloud1994]

jonnies Yeah you should try to deep squat but without many years of training you won't be able to. And many people are just not anatomically predispositioned for it. That has nothing to do with "fucked up bodies" for those people. If you can't do something you must is something Elliot said, but that's not achieved by doing the thing but by working on things that enables you to do it. For most people deep squatting would just lead to injury. Guess what that means? They will injury themselves. Forget the strongest version of themselves, those people wouldn't be able to walk upright if they injure themselves big time.

[@shadowcloud1994]

WahdicalWeftist At least I know my shit and I know what's healthy and what is not. I'm pretty sure I know it better than someone who resorts to insults like " you've only just stopped sucking on your mommas teets" because he just can't coherently argue. Such things speak of intelligence you know. What you need to get through your head is that the "strongest version" is nothing but a fucking concept, an idea that differs from person to person. Most people are not gonna reach the bodybuilder/powerlifter level and most people don't even want to. They just want to look awesome and be strong. You don't need deep ATG squats for this. Trust me if you injure yourself you are not gonna reach that goal you set for yourself.

[@shadowcloud1994]

jonnies So what if you can do it? Literally 90% of the people I see can't and lots of them think they can even though they have the hugest buttwink. It's good if can actually do it then yeah just go for it but it would be a mistake to recommend it to everyone. And again. Some people will NEVER be able to do it depending on your hip position and femur length.

[@shadowcloud1994]

Only if you tell me why.

[@Gunz4President]

Your perspective of squatting was so much deeper than I thought ! Bro, you know your shit. New subscriber.

[@tond3244]

I thought Elliott was just making this stuff up, but the day after I see this video I then read this ifuckinglovescience article that pretty much exactly backs up what he says, at least with regards to how squatting is actually the way we were designed to poop www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/western-pooping-bad-your-booty.

[@GummiBounce]

Just discovered these vids. Very very knowledgable. Im getting back into heavy squatting/deadlifting and im really focusing on using perfect form to avoid any injury. So far so good. These vids are very helpful as well.

[@NoneMcNobody]

Before Toilets: Cholera After Toilets: Constipation Toilets FTW....with weekly Squating of course...

[@alanchung2843]

They didn't have modern plumbing back then. Countries with holes that lead to a plumbing system are doing pretty fine right now. Toilet bowls are for relaxation, not much more.

[@SYLFan2008]

+Ian Shankey: Correlation is not causation. Cholera is largely a result of cross-contamination due to poor sanitation protocols, and has no relationship to how you sit when you defecate. Plus, I don't quite see why you think Elliot or anyone is insinuating that you go squat and shit in the woods near a stream. There are toilets built for that purpose, y'know (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_toilet) Also, squatting while defecation (in toilets, of course) prevent the spreading of piles/hemorrhoid infections and multiple colon related diseases caused by fecal build-up, like diverticulitis; not just constipation.

[@Iteachu2beninja]

Just squat on the toilet homie

[@antonedubify]

you just revitalized my manhood elliott! best advice i came across on youtube so far!

[@jackturner9]

I laughed so hard when he pauses to say "poop"

[@satdhaliwal24]

Another brilliant vid, thanks Elliot! Can't say how much I appreciate the time and thought that you put into each and every video and the priceless knowledge and ideas you freely share with us. Delivered with great charisma too - the personification of cool haha

[@CA55tube]

2:30

[@marissaviticci7474]

A lot of people at my crossfit gym talk about you Elliott so I decided to check out your videos. I love your philosophy. Anybody who wants better hip mobility should check out Steve Maxwell's Encyclopedia of joint mobility. He has a wonderful routine in there that opens your hips and hits muscles you'd never hit with a barbell. We do the routine before squat day here at my gym and its made a huge difference for all of us.

[@djjoel1]

Anyone else notice a little blue glow off Elliot today?

[@BryonLape]

I am 45 years old and me knees suck due to way too heavy leg extensions with I was younger. I got back into squats slowly. Doing the full range is far more important than the weight.

[@antoniuspius3619]

Poop

[@batista666bomb]

lol

[@richw76]

3 years ago my squat was half my bench and that was doing half squats at best. My progression started with 28 lb kettlebell 4 inches from a wall and squat. Now I can start with my toes and nose touching the wall and squat with no kettle bell. Takes strength and balance. Took me about a month or two to get the flexibility and strength then I added squats at the gym. I can now squat ATG with 300+ for reps with good form.

[@Bambuswaldninja]

so true. if you can't do it in absolute perfect form you should lower the weights and learn it. i did this with all my exercises a couple of months ago to get the perfect form and sensation out of the muscle, it's such a big difference. there are so many in the gym who think they have to move big ass weights around in order to get big but neglect form, though it's so much more important than the weight. weights will go up again and if you keep the form, progress kicks in good. just my experience

[@younggunsbeauty8248]

bruv i gota tell you ,you are correct in what you are talking about re,squatting to offload,lol,,i am a very simple person but once i become enlightened about a thing,a light goes on,many years ago i was working on a large construction site,there was no toilet,i had to go squat behind a wall,when id finished,i was confused,i thought to myself why do i feel so amazing,i just took a dump,thats all,but i then focused on this over the next hour or so,and quickly figured out,we are not meant to use toilets,we are meant to squat,my point is not only did i squat to dump,which felt amazing but,i actually felt like i had just left the gym after a 1 hour workout on my legs,my legs felt rock solid and heavy to the floor,i quickly realized toilets,with a lot of other things dont help us they hurt us,when we sit on the toilet we are not emptied properly,when we squat we are,muck left inside of you causes illness,imagine all the big strong legs in the world if everyone squatted to offload, theres progress for yah ha.also another problem people have is they sit in the same position all day,anything trying to attack your body can just nestle in a make a home for itself try standing on you head now and again,upend those attacking disease and germs.

[@Xenophlanes]

Took me one hour to finally get the balance right for squatting not perfectly but the right way. Tomorrow im going to struggle going up and down the stairs. Its worth it.

[@rithychhean518]

thanks for replying. I'll try it! The heavy sets and than deep light squats sounds like a really good idea. My warm up is good, 20 mins or more before. The reason why knees are so bad is from basketball injuries. My left knee was hyperextended previously and it's never been the same. It will even inflame if I ride my bike for 30 mins. I've just ignored it.

[@domk3405]

I don't mean to discredit anything you are saying because I am still learning as a health and fitness science major because obviously you are very creditable. So any input would be extremely helpful. Thanks for these post they have been very helpful and easy to understand!

[@cmrdomicile]

Bro-Meister, quite possibly one of the single best videos you have done! C.M R.

[@guinthehouse]

squatting is probably one of my favorites...I been a runner for 7 years and bicyclist...its only been 1.5month since I started working out...im already squatting 200

[@ralphmarquez9548]

The squat builds the foundation of your body structure. I agree 100 %

[@joantrendafilov7582]

Elliott you are more than a great person!!! thanks for the videos!! I appreciate that you share your wisdom with us!

[@0ester]

The ascending and descending colon are on the posterior abdominal wall. So the part of the intestines the thighs are closest to when squatting are the sigmoid colon and the jejunum/ilieum (long intestines).

[@SuperPezzata]

Hey Patrick do you have a reservation for Dorsia this friday?

[@bearhardman]

one of the best videos i've seen on exercise/health.

[@MyAthleticPerform]

Elliot, I don't disagree but my thought is that the biomechanics of the body (all physics applied) would suggest that certain muscle groups would have a range of motion where those prime movers contract at their maximum. What I mean is if we squat too deep doesn't the low back now take over more of the load just to get back to 90 degrees?

[@ZachONeal]

"You have to squat." Best advice amongst a lot of great advice.

[@chadwr85]

Elliot is a great channel. And Deep Squats are essential because it activates the muscles more. And on a side note if he was getting 60-70 degrees that would be deeper than 90 degrees, he should have said like 100 degrees.

[@guevaraz101]

That's way I like this channel, you always learn something every day... Thanks for the time..

[@Kevimilk]

Man I cant squat!!! But I swear for my heros Elliott Hulse and Manuel Ferrara that I will work on it!! Thanks again

[@swaggalikechrist]

The best thing to do about that is develop great form before throwing on a lot of weight. If you get injured then you can't train and if you can't train, you can't grow. So remember that form is everything. Be safe. God Bless.

[@bobbob5046]

Just a thought here. For those here who are saying they cant squat with weight or bodyweight, for whatever the reason may be. try exercise in a pool. do lunges and squats and hold onto the side or ladder with the similar premise as elliot used with the power rack. Training in water takes a lot of tension of the body. I did sprint training in the water with buckets and ropes it was pretty cool. Anyway hope it helps, just a thought

[@DirtyTaxman]

Elliot is damn right ! I was wondering why i have to go to the toilet during several leg workouts, this makes so much sense.

[@DasSuper]

Yo, Elliott: 'Exercises aren't bad, people are'. Wow, I think my life just changed. It was right before my eyes yet I never saw it. You truly are a prophet of multisyllabic proportions.

[@yourfavoriteflavor]

Squat toilets are widely used throughout the world to this day especially in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. I'd wager there are more squatters than sitters alive today. Seated toilets came about in the 19th century. Rome had plumbing, but it consisted of flowing water piped under holes in the floor.

[@hack4839]

start by using heavy dumbbells like 40s or 50s and use one at a time to get in the motion hold dumbbell with both hands

[@ihearcars]

I have been watching your videos for a long time i am 16 and just want to say thanks your videos are great! this one helped me out the most im going to put overhead squat into my daily warm with a pbc pipe! thanks!!

[@ClamsAnonymous]

I love it when Elliott talks about lifting! Getting back to the roots of the strengthcamp channel. Great video! I'm going to incorporate overhead squats as part of my warmup routine.

[@metalheadblues]

Its amazing he can say that with a straight face.

[@yonkersfugitive]

i will never understand how some people spend time in a gym but never squat or even learn to squat properly. It is such a functional movement and such an empowering/invigorating exercise. Time and time again i see people in the gym squatting as if theyre trying to impress somebody by moving 300 lbs. on their back up and down 6 inches.

[@IJAbraham]

Good Stuff!!! You are a type of doctor...health professional. You are smart too! I love it.

[@claudiamarianidamato9499]

Everything you're saying makes so much sense. Definitely agree that digestive issues have emerged from improper shit-taking form

[@Amokhunter]

Muscle Exercises Encyclopedia: (paraphrased) Deep squats exert a pressure of ~400kg (=880lbs) on the knee (w/o weight!), so deep squats can lead to injury, arthritis and other ailments. This is verified by several studies (Kapandji, Morehouse, etc.) So DON'T do deep squats!

[@RobertRaleySummers]

Over head squats will now be apart of my warm up.

[@TexicanMr]

I like how he doesn't completely dismiss or fully subscribe to one type of training.

[@midlanderwbaboothy7068]

I do a resting squat 3 times a day with breathing exercises it really helps my squats at the gym & keeps my bowels moving freely, the modern toilet does not allow you to completely empty your bowel and like you say so many have issues with with bowels

[@rickyyt7305]

yet another great vid Elliot. thanks a ton! quote at the end should be trademarked :)

[@TriggaHappy2010]

Great video Elliot! At my university I see all of these quarter squatters thinking they're getting full benefits. I love seeing them struggle on the light weight and they aren't even going through the full range of motion. Also, I love those people that don't even squat, or even train legs! I shames me because that's the way you tell who's there "for the hunnies" and who's there to work and better themselves. Shut up and squat!

[@JackTraceyFitness]

best video on youtube about squats without a doubt

[@MiroMayne]

Been neglecting my legs for a while now, this motivated me to hit it again

[@Amokhunter]

It recommends squatting, but just until your thighs are about parallel to the floor, not further down. As to the forces your body can handle, squats are among those exercises which are done with a lot of weight (usually) so a deep squat exerts about 400kg on your joint without weight, now add a 100kg or so and imagine how much force is exerted. Add to that the studies which link arthrosis in the femur and the kneecap (as well as meniscus damage) and think again about attg squats.

[@Fossil87]

I think Elliott discusses all the primal patterns in one of his videos with Paul Check. Most of them are fairly simple as I recall. I think squatting is probably the one that is the hardest for a lot of people do due to Western lifestyles that encourage sitting for long periods of time but rarely squatting low.

[@shinobi_raccoon]

I could have wept for joy when you brought up thoracic extension and shoulder external rotation overhead.

[@colinluby5950]

I have used overhead squat for two years and still can not make one plate (60kg). I will say this: it does help with squat depth, I wish I started it earlier. Sometimes now I think starting in O/L is better than starting in powerlifting, for strength

[@dirtdavegirls]

Best video yet and I have watched all your vids.

[@Vooodooolicious]

I could squat 'three plates either side' but I couldn't because like so many people I see in the gym I had bad technique. Now I squat just the bar overhead and the results are better. I would rather build up from the bottom with a good foundation.And I feel it. At first it is so hard, but your nerves get used to the movement.

[@informationwarfare]

I'm pretty tall and I used to struggle to be able to squat properly but now I can with ease. Try it without weights first and then add some weight.

[@darkROAM1]

Less than 90 degrees would be more like 120-130 degrees. As for this guys issues, like others are saying with the wall would help. When practicing with a bar, using a 5lb plate under the heels to get used to heel driving. Stop gripping the bar into your shoulders, open your hands and use more for balancing the bar than forcing it down. Stop looking at a mirror and keep your self aligned. Compress back and down, spread and heal drive up. Your knees travel in the toes directions, keep them wide.

[@405animal]

I've watched a lot of your videos and they are very helpful. Keep it up bro. I need that beat from your intro.

[@shinobi_raccoon]

Might be that the key is to fix your shoulder up a bit. If you're missing key ranges of motion (as a result of your dislocation creating a nasty muscle-cast, or pre-existing mobility issues), stabilizing the shoulder for the back squat can be uncomfortable on the best of days. Also, if you're lacking the motor control cues and strength to stabilize the shoulder in the first place, you'll probably encounter issues there. Don't count the back squat out just yet!

[@timjeffreys5149]

Something you should try is yoga and stretching. If you start doing 5-10 minute stretches before each time you work out it will add to your flexibility, and do it even if you're not going to work out. Any basic yoga video could help you out, so you don't have to go out to the yoga studio in your town.

[@Tomn8er]

one basic thing he didn't mention to help you squat deeper is to simply take a wider stance. It's a lot harder to squat deep when your feet are close together

[@BoiseG]

I can't do an overhead squat because I have limited rotation in my shoulder due to complications from ACDF surgery....aka fused vertebrae in my neck from surgery for a herniated disc. What happens is my shoulder won't stay directly overhead, it is at a slight forward angle. Imagine trying to do an overhead squat and you can raise your arms with biceps about chin height.

[@Goujitu]

perfect timing for this advice! i am asian but i find it challenging to do the 'asian squat', ie deep squat with heels still on the floor. not sure but i might have tight achilles tendons. ive always did deep body weight squats but have feared the weighted squat due to this

[@Murderofself]

Eliott, Hy, I cannot squat nor deadlift because I miss the hip bone that makes my leg move up/down, right/left,(this affected my spine as well), however, I managed to do other leg and lower back exercises that worked really well for me and developed nice muscles. I know I will never be able to be at my highest potential due to this disability but I have to try. Thanks for your incredibly useful videos.

[@K1rkHammet]

Fell backwards and dropped the weight when I tried to go for another rep overhead squat. So hard

[@Earbly]

Hey, if you place something about 3/4 of a foot or maybe 25 centiemeterish under your feet while sitting, it simulates a squat position for pooping. have your thighs going at a 35 degree angle to your sitting position. It's a pretty good simulated squat and will help you poop easily, and relieve constupation.

[@aw8one]

super helpfull stuff I have been doing 90 degree squats for like 12 years this makes a lot of sense
