mobility exercises examples Why Can’t You Squat Deep? [Morning Motivation]

Why can't I squat deep? Is it possible that your anatomy is to blame? - Unlock Your Body *FREE Flexibility Blueprint DOWNLOAD* http://bit.ly/FMSflexibilityblueprint. If you like our videos, consider *SUBSCRIBING* http://bit.ly/UnityGymChannel

Have you ever tried to squat down to the floor and found your body leans forwards, your bum tucks under, or your heels lift off the floor?

Maybe you feel super tight in the hips, lower back and ankles?

You may even find that it’s so uncomfortable, it literally feels like something is going to break if you try.

Believe it or not, squatting is actually a resting position for humans. For thousands of years we sat in the full squat position. We ate like this, we used to take a shit like this, and we rested around the evening fire in our warm caves like this.

Nowadays, the deep squat has become an exercise. A movement only the most skilled fitness enthusiasts and flexible people attempt to master.

If you’ve ever worked with a personal trainer you’d have probably been asked to squat at some point. Body weight, goblet squats, barbell back racked or front racked squats … Zercher squats … even split squats … these are all great exercises that we love to prescribe as coaches.

If this sounds familiar, you might recall that you were ttaught to squat a certain way. Most commonly, feet at shoulder width, knees parallel … and for God's sake, don’t ever let your knees pass over your toes!

Or else, suffer the consequences …

If you’re one of the people who this doesn’t work for … meaning, no matter how hard you try … you can’t seem to squat deep, or even get close to full range (arse to grass as your trainer would say).

It’s probably not your fault.

There’s a good chance you were taught wrong!

Because the bone structures in your feet and ankles, the shape of your pelvis, the pitch of your acetabular sockets, the length or your femur bones, in relation to your tibia bones and your spine … all these variables contribute to your squat.

Here’s the secret to a perfect full range squat.

Compromised length tension (flexibility and strength) aside … your structural anatomy dictates your squat.

Squatting is individual. There’s not one way. Your optimal squat may look completely different to mine!

Your trainer is wrong if they tell you to squat parallel with your feet shoulder width apart. To find your optimal squat you must explore your body and adjust your setup according to your anatomical structures.

People with long femur and short tibia will need a wider stance with feet turned out.

People with limited ankle range of motion will need the feet tuned out and also adjusted foot width!

The strength relationship between your glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves will also play a huge roll in how you squat.

At Unity Gym we spend the initial 12 to 16 weeks building Foundation Strength to ensure ever new client has both the time to explore their personal physical nuances, and build the strength and flexibility to optimize their bodies interpretation of each movement.

To instruct someone to squat the way I squat displays a fundamental lack of understanding of the basic anatomical structures in the human body.

It would be shit coaching!

On today's Unity-V episode Rad and I take you out onto the gym floor to show you step by step how to explore your body and discover your optimal squat. We also show you how to overcome compromising length tension issues.
