@@DemHoNMomentzthe muscle isn't the problem, it's actually very weak. The problem is the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest one in the whole body
@@davidfernandez8515So what are you saying, I should stretch the tendon instead of the muscle or how can I keep that mobility without doing mobility drills for the rest of my days?
@@FIGP1 its hard to regain mobility but easy to maintain it. You just have to make it a priority if you want that mobility and once you get it you can probably get away with doing them once or twice a week as long as youre using that range of motion.
You need to keep using the mobility if you stop using your muscles your body will set them into some energy efficiency mechanisms that will deteriorate it, if you want to feel young never stop moving and using all of your muscles
Thank you SO MUCH for adding the timer and subtitles. Let's us veiwers know when to unmute away from the viral earworms some of these (decent) videos use to game the game.
WARNING! ⚠️ Be carefull with this stretch. I broke my ankle making this stretch. I think it's the tendon. Now I can not go for a longer walk without having pain the day after. It's been two years like this 😥
I have a huge problem with ankle mobility on my right. I deal with blockage pain trying to stretch my calf or try and squat ATG. Yes I've done banded joint mobilizations, goblet squats, calf stretches and ankle strengthen exercises using bands but they have not helped. I can't squat without that blockage on my right ankle which makes me helicopter and cave my right knee.
Been using this mobility exercise as part of my warmup for leg days. Would you say this is a good idea? I feel like it has warmed up my knees, ankle and teardrop area of quad
I sent it hard down a hug flight of stairs once and landed so hard on my left heel, I broke my talus, medial malleolus, and my fibula at the same. My ankle is pretty locked so whenever I try to squat I just end up falling backwards cause I can’t balance myself forward enough. Ever work with an injury like that while trying to increase leg strength?
Sounds like you have good ankle mobility and no previous ankle injuries. Mobility is different for everyone. I've been able to touch my toes my whole life regardless of my fitness (even when it's very poor), which isn't true for some folks. One little ankle sprain severely reduced my right ankle mobility, so I need to hit these.
@@oedaliswell that is good to know, I thought it was something everyone found hard regardless. Although I did pick up a ankle injury recently, but seems like it didn't hinder me a lot for this part. I went through my ankle quite badly, took 2 months to heal.
So what if your range of motion is more than "optimal"? Is that super optimal? Or is it going backwards, like it is too loose and needs to be tightened up?
Hello sir, I had a Fasciotomy surgery performed on both legs when I was younger. I feel like it’s significantly limited my ankle mobility; when I perform this test, I feel like there is scar tissue limiting movement on both legs. Not sure what I can to help with this, as I don’t feel like it’s my calves that are the limiting part.
my ankle mobility is apparently ok, but it feels like it's not, i guess it may be relative femur length or something - any tests to see what else it could be?
Can you fix me? 😅ya girls got some issues (foot drop - no I’ve never had a stroke, terrible ankle mobility and shoulder issues. Maybe or may not all be related 🤷🏼♀️)
Hey, Squat University, i have a question about why lower ribs stick out? Maybe some of core muscles are weak or something? I can easily hold L-Sit though…
I thought you were supposed to do that first test with your thumb out sticking out. I gotcmad when my knees couldn't reach the wall. I'm going back to try that test again.
What's up with our ankles struggling to just squat. My friends can just squat when we wait for the train with their asian ankles and I have to look for a seat.

Shout out @torokhtiy_olympian on TikTok for the opening stitched video!
I’m a well trained boxer and recently started lifting to improve my strength. You have helped me in many ways, thanks for your help!
My problem exactly 😢 and the body is so ungrateful that when you take a break with the ankle therapy, it goes back to stiff 😭
I only saw (marginal) long term improvements once I began doing the calf stretches daily. Incredibly stubborn muscle.

You are working miracles 💪🏻 and that guy is an absolute unit
His squat form looks so much better! You're a wonder, doc!
He's a pro lifter, and no coaches noticed? You can see him dip to the left.
Thanks Squat University! This is just what i needed :)
Happy to help!
Asian squat has been preparing me for this 😂
Thank you SO MUCH for adding the timer and subtitles. Let's us veiwers know when to unmute away from the viral earworms some of these (decent) videos use to game the game.
Much respect to you doc 🫡
if I forget to brace, breathe, or warm up I hurt myself meanwhile this unit is pushing 10 plates all lopsided 😭

Enhorabuena por tanto contenido de calidad, se agradece videos con rigor científico dentro del mundo de musculacion/fitness.
Dr Aaron and the Kneesovertoe guy are the true fitness influencers Imop
for real, maybe add movementbydavid in the list too
FOREALLLLL
Dr Aaron is no influencer. He's a professional.
I also had an Achilles injury cause this same thing for me but your videos have helped me a ton! Thank you squat University
I think his problem in squatting is more the fact he rotates his entire torso
Mobility/stability routines are no joke. I squat ATG sometimes just to make sure I can still get down there with ~85 percent of my parallel max
Wish I had you 10 years ago, thanks for all these tips!
You’re welcome! Glad to help!!
Amazing!!!
I’d be grateful if I had the “poor” option for ankle mobility 😭
Thank you so much!!
You’re welcome
Big men with big mobility always surprises me
I love the way he casually throws “ass to grass” into the terminology😂
Do you have international collaborators?

ruptured my achilles two xams' ago. doing this mobility test as SOON as i get home!

I slipped and headbutted a hole in the wall.
I am doing as the video showed, but I feel like I am doing something wrong? It is so easy for me personally?

So if optimal is one fist, what's two whole fists? Asking for a friend
I can’t do squats to depth because of my ankle but I can squat to depth on belted squats
Looks like Eddie Hall's long lost brother
i think my limited ankle mobility is why i have so many problems with body squats.

Insert captcha are you human?
Lmao, I have been disabled for several years and don't even work out. It's leftover from when I was still able to

I wish you could save shorts
I tore my deltoid ligament and I am struggling to regain mobility in my ankle, what would you recommend I do ?

I can do it with the thumb out
Wow
Knees over toes guy
He said a swearword😮
Asians: "lmao."

The dude in the beginning has huge calves
That dude is an 2012 Olympic gold medalist
I thought the goal was 5 inches (according to your book that I follow religiously :) )
At this point he's just releasing the same content over and over
Guys, come to India. Live with us. Live like us..mostly! Cz as an Indian i find the patients in this video being funny 😂😂
Damn my right on is poor 😮
All you have to do is get on the seated calf machine and let your ankles and calves stretch out… Geez ...
Who has a seated calf machine, raise your hands
Men of culture.
No way dude 😂💀
Right? Make them sound off, if they're so damn cultured.
Men of culture we meet again.
He should be concentrating on losing about 80lbs of fat instead of his Achilles.
Homeboy is halfway squatting 900 lbs. Atg we all know he probably can't do half the weight
I can almost touch from the lenth of my foot away without trying. A fist width seems like a joke.
Probably cause he eats artificial processed food and meat, oh don’t forget the white salt and gmo whey
