Elevating my heels helps my squat so much. It's downright baffling, how effortless the movement suddenly is. Even just an inch makes a huge difference in my posture.
I have off topic question(s) 1)I only feel lower back expanding whenever I sleep on my stomach(prone) with a small pillow underneath my illiacs(waistline). Why this might be? And how can I promote lower back expansion in general? 2) can poor and inefficient digestive system be related to biomechanics issue?(say I m a young teenager)
Digestive issues are usually more nervous system regulation issues. Take care of environmental stressors and get the recommended 150-180 minutes of cardio plus 2x/week resistance exercise. Do that consistently for 6-8 weeks if you aren't already. Then address diet quality. On the back expansion side, anything that rounds the back will expand it. But if you are already biased towards more of a rounded position, then getting into more of an extended position might be beneficial, which is what it sounds like you are doing when sleeping in the prone position. Hard to say without assessing you.
In my experience, increasing the flexibility of the lower glute is really helpful. Spinal extension is often a must, especially if you tend towards a rounded back position
I can deep squat with shoes but not well with bare feet! Great video, the bag pick-up was something to behold! I have enjoyed your recent chat/interview videos too!
Thanks for watching! If the shoes have some heel elevation that could be why, or overall they provide you more sensory feedback. Either way, you can work on improving the barefoot squat over time... (if you want)
Within the context of a squat, the difference in posterior and anterior tilt can be explained by the mechanics that occur within each component of the movement or by how the body is responding to load. For example, an anterior tilt when pushing into the ground is common when the load is really heavy. A posterior tilt at the bottom is common when hip mobility is poor. These things can exist at the same time and manifest in different parts of the motion.
@@ChaplinPerformance thank you for this explanation ! So if I understand you correctly , you can start anteriorly tilted because it’s a heavy squat or whatever else. And end up posteriorly tilted towards the bottom of the squat because of lack of mobility, not necessarily an anatomy restriction ??
Could be an anatomical restriction in hip joint structure. If all other mobility is good but not this, then this could be a possible explanation. Feet and knees out could def help. Going narrow with the stance will increase lumbar flexion at the bottom for a lot of people. Having a "squatty" squat is not always the best answer.
I wonder if you still can go to full squat if a person has both Hip FAI with both sides lumbar tear and bony structure changes. Any thoughts?@@ChaplinPerformance
Thank you for taking a dive explaining the mechanics. This was very helpful for my routine. My goal is to do a deep squat. ✌🏽
Glad it was helpful!

Imagine if you could learn to achieve a similar result without the wedges! This is your next project! Thanks for watching
How can we reduce abdominal over activity during exhalation? Exercises for reducing ab activity druing the tuck?
Don't tuck... Exhale less hard or learn to maintain expansion during the inhale by strengthening your diaphragm (happens through endurance training)
@@ChaplinPerformance oh I see I was about to on a run I should hurry haha.
Thanks for replying ☺️

@@ChaplinPerformance thanks for answering :) this helps a lot
can you make a video on sciatic nerve entrapment? had a disc bulge years ago and still cannot hinge whatsoever without symptoms in left leg

Very useful, as always. I hope some day you'll get millions of deserved subscribers!
You and me both!
Good video! Any hypothetical idea on why someone will go back any forth between an anterior and posterior tilt.

Ur the man!
Thanks! Can you please make a video about sciatica
Good idea! A very misunderstood issue
