I have been doing this routine for a month, 5-6 days a week,takes about 30 minutes. I noticed a great improvement, always suffered with hip pain while squating with weights, now I am getting back to squating without discomfort. Really changed the game for me, much appreciated, Daniel.
Why? Who cares where you're at now, if you're working on improving that's all that matters. If you're slightly better today, than you were yesterday, that's something to be happy about.
Been doing this for about 3 days and I just "got" the internal hip rotation on floor. Feels really good and rotates with ease and no pinching. Thank you!

Essential info addressing a skill that I've been struggling with since starting calisthenics. Everybody "knows" the squat, but not necessarily the breakdown and how to fix sticking points. This video is gold. Thank you.
Ido portal has inspired me to change my life. I am 47 and on disability. Last year I was literally unable to get out of my bed without a physical and mental battle. I have completely flipped the scrip. I wake up and start my day @ 4am now and start training my body, mind, and spirit. My friends are like what are you training for? MY LIFE!!! I want to be able to move freely again!!! I want my body back. And I’m taking it. Thanks IDO PORTAL!!!!! And thanks to everybody making these video’s. #Movecauseyoucan
This is great. I have been doing this every morning for the last 14 days. Takes about 35 minutes but I do everything super carefully plus also a few other stretches. I can say it works, I got much better in most of the exercises from the routine. My squat feels better as well although I feel I still need more mobility in my ankles and my hips. Therefore I am now switching to another squat routine from this channel that focuses on those (the video is called "The Squat Solution (FULL MOBILITY ROUTINE!)"). One tip: If you do this, you need to be very deliberate. Be present when you exercise. You get out only as much as you put in.
Did the routine once and I was able to squat deeply without falling backwards for the first time ever. Gonna work a lot to fully master it. This video was a life changer, definitely the best calisthenics channel on yt.
@@ke722nzo8 sorry bro, I actually stopped working out some time ago, even though I was quite impressed when I realized I was still able to deep squat after months of inactivity , luckily I am going to get back to it very soon, wish you all the best.
Thank you so much for this routine. The hip flexor exercises not only helped my squat, but helped me address some postural issues that I've been dealing with, and this greatly helped.
I just feel like of all the videos I've ever watched of squatting, improving squats, mobility, stretches etc, this video has just summed it all up in such an easy compact way. Life changing. Thank you sooooooo much!!!🥰🥰🥰
I needed this. Thank you, Daniel. I was afraid I'd have to live without proper squatting all my life! Not so! 2 days in and massive improvements! Keep it going guys, you can do it!!
This is pure gold..if only people had the patience to learn this instead of rushing in and train with bad posture and heavy weights only to get injured in the end..FORM BEFORE MASS..its a slow journey but for LIFE!

A very well explained and complete description, with excellent illustrations. I have followed this channel a few years, I am 57 and pleased for the help. Thank you. It is wonderful to see the application of reasoning to the problems of mobility.
Squats have always been one of the most difficult for me. Atleast the form has been majorly difficult my whole life until the ideas you just gave in this video. I appreciate the help
I truly love this channel man! I love how you tend to focus on doing exercises correctly and with maximum efficiency. Everything and I mean everything you have taught has not only improved my calisthenic exercises, but everything from weight training, swimming, biking, and general movement feels so much better. Keep it up Danny thank you!
Been struggling with tight hips for 7-8 years now. Tried the rutine for two days in a row now and honestly I am already feeling a big difference 🎉😮👌. Thanks you so much for this great video.
WOW, a friend of mine sent me this video cause he know ive been struggling alot with hips and knees.. I am so glad he did, cause after just ONE workout doing this i can tell its just the exercises i need, and in perfect order. THANKS!
I'm trying this routine out today! I've done another 1 a while ago.. before I injured my knee again.. but for a couple months i'm training legs again and with youre knowledge I definitely know this is a good one! Looking forward to those squat mobility gains that this will bring me!

Daniel, I am 3 weeks into recovery from a femur neck fracture fixation from a bike fall. I am an avid cyclist. I believe that this series of hip flex and mobility drills will become a staple for my recovery. Thank you
These are quite powerful. The discomfort in my right hip went away after I started doing these for a while. I think he is right about stretching, it has its place but it does not tend to cure what ails you. Building strength is what works best. I wish I knew this a few decades ago.
two and a half weeks in and my squat has gone from really bad to quite good looking! Been doing this every day in the evenings, doesn't take very long but has worked wonders. Thank you!!
There are comments on a lot of RUclips fitness videos about such and such exercise changed my life. For me, it's those hip flexor marches. I did 10 on each leg and the deep squat I was able to hit surprised me both in terms of mobility and comfort. I'm gonna add all of these to my routine, thanks Daniel.
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I need. When I do deep squats, my form changes to be very bad. I followed your video and my deep squats form is perfect now.
In case someone is curious, my problem was when I go deep I tend to lean forward which means the barbell is not in a straight line going down and up. I did SEATED HIP IR for only 30 seconds. Now Im able to maintain the barbell on a straight line. Turns out my glute medius was too tight. I am gonna do this mobility every day.
I had bilateral severely clubbed feet at birth and the corrective surgery at age 4 that cut my Achilles tendons, took 2 bone grafts from my shin, inserted them in each ankle and reconnected my Achilles tendons longer than before left me with extremely limited ankle flexibility and reduced flexibility in general in my lower limbs too. I love this exercise / stretch and do it daily!
I have my first client and have been struggling with getting her to increase her squat mobility. After doing these warmups on friday, I got her to squat to parallel without raising her heels off the ground for the first time!
3 days? Wow, do these exercises really work that fast? I've seen people in the comments saying how great the exercises are. But I wonder, I have been watching these squat, seiza videos lately and every video advices that it'll definitely take a while. (and a while I'm assuming means months and months and depending on several factors) So I'm surprised at the great reviews this video is getting and how fast their getting their results.
Thanks guys. Went well, shaved some off of the hip to make space.. think it will be good. Can't wait to train again.. cheers, have a fantastic weekend everybody
@@Eric3Frog Hi Eric, - so far so good. Still haven't really tested it that much yet, been around 10 weeks. Doctor told me to expect worsening of symptoms between 3 and 6 months, before it gets better.. we'll see.. but I feel much improvement already. I am allowed to squat but only to add 2 kg to the bar every 2 sessions.. right now I'm at 36 kg (lol) but the point is that movement is much better,, and I don't feel any impingement when squatting into the hole.... fingers crossed :) cheers
squat is a ultimate exercise the only beginners that can do it right from the start, are people who already practice some sports like martial arts, dance or etc, regular people can not do that without a decent prep first legendary video dawg, i hope helps me to improve my balance and hip motion, because my ankle is already top tier
This is, so far, THE BEST video I have seen on improving form in the squat. I battle with doing a proper squat, so I will definitely try these ideas. Great content!
Thanks for the video. What you said at 3:33 is so true. I've been suffering some severe hip/lower back mobility issues with muscle imbalances. I've been doing a lot of stretching for years but no real results. Since I started these types of exercises, I can see how they are the answer to all my problems.
Do it on leg days since youre gonna do squats. Itll be better when you do them in leg days, your squats are going to be easier. But also the side planks you can do them any day.
AMAZING!! could not get all way down with my feet flat....been trying for a week.......did only some of the exercises and Voolah.....all the way down!!! THANK YOU
This is really well constructed and extremely useful. I’ve had 3 ACL ops and I have an extended tendon in my ankle. I have to keep my legs strong as I’m 48 and refuse to lose mobility. These help wonders. Thank you!
My squat is very limited when my feet are parallel, but as soon as i turn them outwards, i can go ass to grass... should i work on the parallel feet squat or am i fine? Great Video!
Dont force something that you are not even a bit comfortable to begin with. It's a matter of Hip mobility AKA the capsule and how your femur (the bone the quad sits on) fits in there. In your case and mine, a little rotation is needed.
Your hip external rotation is probably limited, that's why you have to turn your feet out to be able to squat deep. Look at some hip external rotation mobility exercises and stretches.
Hip structure influences your strongest squat position. Everybody's different. Squat the way you feel strongest in the bottom position. Experiment with stance width and feet angle and see what feels most natural for you.
I just was to thank you for making this workout. I'm a powerlifter that struggles with depth and I've been doing this work out for a little bit, and it's helped out a ton. Thanks.
Dude. This made a huge difference to my balance. My right hip and leg would usually over dominate the left, and I tried various things from stretches to highly concentrated leg/knee lift variations off the dip bar. The bridge and knee-to-wall were the best exercises for me (the ones I never knew about until now); rebalanced and stabilized. Now I have balance between each side of my hip and overall, legs.And I've been in the game for a decade.Thanks Daniel!
I am 32, have had popping joints since my teens, some pops are louder that others but again they don't mean much if painless. If you' re concerned about it anyway, you could work on lower body mobility and foam rolling/see a doc.
Thank you so much! Just did this one time over and noticed a significant range of motion improvement and comfort of the positions! Will definitely continue!
Lift your arm straight in front of you as high as you can, if you have good range of motion with your arm straight then it’s probably not your shoulder. Do this movement again with your arm bent, with your hand on your shoulder. (Try not to force the motion, you could start arching your back to assist if there are mobility issues, do the movement as far as your body can, not as far as you force it. This is just a test anyway) If it does not have good range of motion, or feels uncomfortable in the tricep/posterior shoulder area, it might be tight triceps. If it isn’t the triceps, and your shoulder still feels off, then unfortunately you’re back at square one. Good luck! Hopefully it’s just tight triceps, that’s an easy fix but important to always warmup and stretch your whole body!
I would recommend you to work towards being able to do back bends. That will benefit both your wrists, shoulder mobility, hip flexor and thoracic spine mobility.
Not used to comment on videos but here it is, been struggling to even pass parallel on my squat after my restart of weightlifting I'm used to stretch everywhere, but I never felt this kind of pain on the groin these internal rotations provided me (still can't put my left knee down to the ground on the two last versions) Been following the routine for 3 days now, I can squat massive weights again, thanks a lot !
Thankyou for this video.. I have just watched it as I started getting into powerlifting 5 weeks ago and my biggest thing right now is the barbell squat lift. Found out I'm a hinger rather than a squatter 😅 needed to gain more mobility, stability and squat depth.
This is an amazing video as are all of your videos Daniel. I have never been able to deep squat and stumbled across this video and decided to give it a go. I always believed my lack of ankle mobility was my problem with not being able to deep squat. I can't believe that after 10-15mins of emulating the exercises in this video I went straight to my deepest squat ever. Seriously impressed many thanks. Highly recommend.
I've been working on squat mobility for about 8 months with only minor improvements. This is so different than other tutorials I've found, and I've been starting to suspect that for me shin strength is part of the problem. This has me realizing how much more could be involved. Pretty excited to try this.

Literally saved my squat, I was finally able to squat deep but my hip extensors started to hurt, started doing these mobility drills and
Boom! No pain
do you do this before squatting?
Silly Me do it after a workout. Also find other machines that target the same group muscles as the squat like the leg press

Hi, thanks for the content. What kind of tips you have about improving the comfort of the knees in deep squat position?
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I need. When I do deep squats, my form changes to be very bad. I followed your video and my deep squats form is perfect now.
In case someone is curious, my problem was when I go deep I tend to lean forward which means the barbell is not in a straight line going down and up. I did SEATED HIP IR for only 30 seconds. Now Im able to maintain the barbell on a straight line. Turns out my glute medius was too tight. I am gonna do this mobility every day.
@@oliverxudong532 Damn, I have the exact same problem I'll definitely try this. Thanks for sharing!
Great vid Dan! Been following you since '11.. Amazing video as always, keep it up!!
I had bilateral severely clubbed feet at birth and the corrective surgery at age 4 that cut my Achilles tendons, took 2 bone grafts from my shin, inserted them in each ankle and reconnected my Achilles tendons longer than before left me with extremely limited ankle flexibility and reduced flexibility in general in my lower limbs too. I love this exercise / stretch and do it daily!
Very helpful! :) thanks for sharing, greats from Bulgaria
The quality of knowledge in this video is more than amazing, it's gold.
This is the best tips for me thank you Daniel👌
I have my first client and have been struggling with getting her to increase her squat mobility. After doing these warmups on friday, I got her to squat to parallel without raising her heels off the ground for the first time!
3 days?
Wow, do these exercises really work that fast?
I've seen people in the comments saying how great the exercises are.
But I wonder, I have been watching these squat, seiza videos lately and every video advices that it'll definitely take a while. (and a while I'm assuming means months and months and depending on several factors)
So I'm surprised at the great reviews this video is getting and how fast their getting their results.
I have hip FAI surgery on tuesday, wish me luck
Good luck from my cat and I
Thanks guys. Went well, shaved some off of the hip to make space.. think it will be good. Can't wait to train again.. cheers, have a fantastic weekend everybody
Good to hear dude. My cat yawned in approval
How are you feeling/performing now Lars?
@@Eric3Frog Hi Eric, - so far so good. Still haven't really tested it that much yet, been around 10 weeks. Doctor told me to expect worsening of symptoms between 3 and 6 months, before it gets better.. we'll see.. but I feel much improvement already. I am allowed to squat but only to add 2 kg to the bar every 2 sessions.. right now I'm at 36 kg (lol) but the point is that movement is much better,, and I don't feel any impingement when squatting into the hole.... fingers crossed :) cheers
squat is a ultimate exercise the only beginners that can do it right from the start, are people who already practice some sports like martial arts, dance or etc, regular people can not do that without a decent prep first
legendary video dawg, i hope helps me to improve my balance and hip motion, because my ankle is already top tier
Greats from Brazil!!!
This is, so far, THE BEST video I have seen on improving form in the squat. I battle with doing a proper squat, so I will definitely try these ideas. Great content!
how did it go
Thanks for the video. What you said at 3:33 is so true. I've been suffering some severe hip/lower back mobility issues with muscle imbalances. I've been doing a lot of stretching for years but no real results. Since I started these types of exercises, I can see how they are the answer to all my problems.
Can I do this routine like a warm up on leg day? Or you recomend to do it on days off? Nice video by the way!
Do it on leg days since youre gonna do squats. Itll be better when you do them in leg days, your squats are going to be easier. But also the side planks you can do them any day.
One of the best instructional videos on the subtleties of squat strength I have seen online. Thank you sir
What would you recommend for people with ankle impingement?
This channel never fails to deliver!
My knees have trouble bending inward. Any exercises for that?
AUGUSTALLEN28 strengthen gluteus medius
The best fitness advice I've seen from someone who isn't AthleanX. Well done brother and Thanks.
Can you do this all before squats on leg day?
AMAZING!! could not get all way down with my feet flat....been trying for a week.......did only some of the exercises and Voolah.....all the way down!!! THANK YOU
what kind of moisturizer do you use
@@meka19953 sweat
Shake 😂😂😂
This is really well constructed and extremely useful. I’ve had 3 ACL ops and I have an extended tendon in my ankle. I have to keep my legs strong as I’m 48 and refuse to lose mobility. These help wonders. Thank you!
My squat is very limited when my feet are parallel, but as soon as i turn them outwards, i can go ass to grass... should i work on the parallel feet squat or am i fine? Great Video!
Dont force something that you are not even a bit comfortable to begin with. It's a matter of Hip mobility AKA the capsule and how your femur (the bone the quad sits on) fits in there. In your case and mine, a little rotation is needed.
Your hip external rotation is probably limited, that's why you have to turn your feet out to be able to squat deep. Look at some hip external rotation mobility exercises and stretches.
Hip structure influences your strongest squat position. Everybody's different. Squat the way you feel strongest in the bottom position. Experiment with stance width and feet angle and see what feels most natural for you.
What LAGman91 says is true. It's about your bone structure. There is no one size fits all technique.
That's normal, everyone is like that.
Great video. Lots of points to think about and work on. I really appreciate your clear, no nonsense presentational style!
Can u do this if u have knee pain
I just was to thank you for making this workout. I'm a powerlifter that struggles with depth and I've been doing this work out for a little bit, and it's helped out a ton. Thanks.
This routine is brutal.. or I'm just really out of shape XD
Dude. This made a huge difference to my balance. My right hip and leg would usually over dominate the left, and I tried various things from stretches to highly concentrated leg/knee lift variations off the dip bar. The bridge and knee-to-wall were the best exercises for me (the ones I never knew about until now); rebalanced and stabilized. Now I have balance between each side of my hip and overall, legs.And I've been in the game for a decade.Thanks Daniel!
Nice video Daniel! My knees give a loud pop when I squat. Does weak glutes may be contributing to this pop!?
it's ok if it's painless...joints have "air bubbles" in them, wich sometimes pop.
Tight it band. Foam roll it.
It's painless but I wounder until when!? But this is not your normal pop. It's more like the bones are coming off.
I am 32, have had popping joints since my teens, some pops are louder that others but again they don't mean much if painless. If you' re concerned about it anyway, you could work on lower body mobility and foam rolling/see a doc.
@@thexpto51
Do you do dynamic stretches?? If no, that's PROBABLY what you need
Thank you so much! Just did this one time over and noticed a significant range of motion improvement and comfort of the positions! Will definitely continue!
Poor shoulder mobility for front squat video please?
Muhammad Nasr do you know it’s your shoulder and not your triceps being tight?
@@MrThatonebitch I don't know really how to figure out which one is tight ? maybe both.
Lift your arm straight in front of you as high as you can, if you have good range of motion with your arm straight then it’s probably not your shoulder. Do this movement again with your arm bent, with your hand on your shoulder. (Try not to force the motion, you could start arching your back to assist if there are mobility issues, do the movement as far as your body can, not as far as you force it. This is just a test anyway) If it does not have good range of motion, or feels uncomfortable in the tricep/posterior shoulder area, it might be tight triceps. If it isn’t the triceps, and your shoulder still feels off, then unfortunately you’re back at square one. Good luck! Hopefully it’s just tight triceps, that’s an easy fix but important to always warmup and stretch your whole body!
@@MrThatonebitch thanks alot 🙂
I would recommend you to work towards being able to do back bends. That will benefit both your wrists, shoulder mobility, hip flexor and thoracic spine mobility.
Not used to comment on videos but here it is, been struggling to even pass parallel on my squat after my restart of weightlifting
I'm used to stretch everywhere, but I never felt this kind of pain on the groin these internal rotations provided me (still can't put my left knee down to the ground on the two last versions)
Been following the routine for 3 days now, I can squat massive weights again, thanks a lot !
It is my KNEES that won't let me squat. :(
Me too... That torn meniscus...
What options do we have people ??
Thankyou for this video.. I have just watched it as I started getting into powerlifting 5 weeks ago and my biggest thing right now is the barbell squat lift. Found out I'm a hinger rather than a squatter 😅 needed to gain more mobility, stability and squat depth.
4:32 if I could already do this I wouldnt have clicked on this video....
Thank you.
I love the ending! Be present! Put in effort and breath deep! 🐝💝
*Clicks video*
"The majority of the drills in this video are going to require some hard work...."
*clicks on other video*
This is an amazing video as are all of your videos Daniel. I have never been able to deep squat and stumbled across this video and decided to give it a go. I always believed my lack of ankle mobility was my problem with not being able to deep squat. I can't believe that after 10-15mins of emulating the exercises in this video I went straight to my deepest squat ever. Seriously impressed many thanks. Highly recommend.
I cant do the squat hip (internal rotation)
Tuff luck then.
I've been working on squat mobility for about 8 months with only minor improvements. This is so different than other tutorials I've found, and I've been starting to suspect that for me shin strength is part of the problem. This has me realizing how much more could be involved. Pretty excited to try this.
