      @@danielhenderson762 most people don't fucking spend 6 months stretching and weightlifting to get that range of motion, most people don't put in enough effort over a long enough period of time while being consistent and diligent to their weighted stretching.
      most people are more afraid of looking silly and weak in a commercial gym - squatting with full depth and slow speed to stretch everything out, because most people are insecure about their strength and care too much about how other people perceive them.
      most people would rather do a low bar squat and barely reach parallel with more weight.
      you don't have to be most people. put yourself and your own goals first, before your own self-imposed limitations and insecurities.

    I had no idea about the importance of ankle mobility until I chatted with a guy at the gym yesterday and he showed me his lacking ankle mobility using a door frame and I had no issue at all in comparison when doing the movement he showed me. I've also noticed that even though people tell you "the taller you are the wider your squat stance" I've found that I feel much more comfortable with a close stance and I figure now that it is exactly because of this. I unintentionally train my ankle mobility every day as I have to "squat" countless of times while working, I also find smith machine elevated calf raises are a good way to add in ankle mobility training without making it solely about the ankle.

    Will increasing ankle stiffness for improved running speads always result in a reduction of ankle mobility? Or are these attributes separate? Can I train to have good joint stiffness without compromising my mobility?

    • @HkFinn83
      @HkFinn83 Год назад

      Weightlifting is pretty much the only sport where you want that excessive ankle mobility. It will to an extent slow down your running speed and sport based power based on that loss of elastic rebound effect. Stiffness and tightness and lack of stiffness just are unfortunately opposite attributes. One will to a extent take from the other.

    i find it difficult to sit in a bodyweight full depth squat and feel any ankle stretch without coming off my heels - is it still beneficial to sit in that deep position to get more comfortable here despite not actually feeling a stretch in the ankle?

    • @JorgeTomásDejean
      @JorgeTomásDejean Год назад

      I do that as a part of my warm up and I find it really helpful. I usually sit as low as I can with my back as upright and neutral as I can and then i a play around shifting my weight from one leg to another, trying different stance widths and moving around my ankles and knees till I feel comfortable. From there I do the same with the bar and form has improved a lot

    What I'm noticing is her knees come forward at the bottom of the squat. For me this irritates the joint but maybe for her it was a matter of conditioning the tendons to that motion?

    Hey guys and gals! The squat racks are right in front of you . .So why don't you rack the bar when you've finished the set? Dropping the bar like you're all doing is totally disrespecting the gym gear! And don't even try to justify this behaviour by saying you're saving energy! Every one of you would have gone walkabout with the bar to save a lift. Racking the weight will help with that.

    Can you have long femurs but relatively short legs? My torso is longer then my femur length but i think my femurs longer than tibia. No way to know for sure unless i measured myself. But you never see videos explaining how to do this. Also measuring yourself is kind of awkward i suppose to get right.
