    All of the squat problems I’ve had all along come down to ankle mobility, I feel like ankle mobility doesn’t get talked about as much as it should! So thank you!

    That squat without warm up has made me feel so much better about my squatting form. I've been trying to fix my butt wink for months and just end up hurting my lower back because I'm flexing too much to push my ass out. Ankle mobility warm up, neutral spine, accept whatever natural butt wink I have from here on in. Thanks man!

    Thank you very much Dr! I always thought I was doing my squat right but then I saw it on the mirror and the pelvis was bending too much.
    Thankfully I saw your video about pistol squat and I was already doing some mobility training for the ankles.
    I'd like to see an updated version of this video with more tips to avoid the butt wink (there are some lifters that almost touch the floor while performing the squat clean even though they don't seem to do the butt wink).

    Excellent info. I've been using your methods from the ankle mobility and squat warmup videos with excellent results. In just 15 days I went from unable to touch knees to wall (about a fist width away) in 5-in test, to touching on some days, now working on all days. (i have a couple of vids on my channel showing my progress.) Its definitely reducing what butt wink I had. I think that bench stretch will be the next level I need. I train thrice weekly.

    Hey I really appreciate your channel.
    I am from Germany and high quality content like this is rarely found in german Channels.
    There are a lot of biased people , who dont think about biomechanical movements.
    I have one question tho , I have a buttwink myself when going below parallel just slightly but noticeable. I found out that lowbar squatting with using the hip drive helped reducing my buttwink but they couldnt eliminate it. I also have knee pain/pressure localized at the patella when going below parallel. I always push my knees actively out and the knees are pointing to the direction of my toes. (30-35° degree)
    I subscribed your channel keep up with the good work, I am all ears for answers that might help fixing my problem.

  • @vincentyacobozzi3882
    @vincentyacobozzi3882 Před 3 lety

    I have a couple questions on this. First, could there be stiffness in the upper legs that could lower your ROM at the acetabulorfemoral joint?
    When it comes to heavy squats, even after doing the ankle mobility work, it seems the bottom of the squat should be before any butt wink, correct?
    Last, will these exercises work long term? Currently I still “fail” the 5 inch wall test even after the mobility work.

    In the before and after side-by-side shot you have more ankle flexion and mobility on the before side than the after side. It looks like the ankle mobility exercises didn't do anything and you're just focused on keeping your lower back straight during the after shot.

    I've become rather obsessed with the butt wink topic over the last week or so. I have been doing kettlebell front squats after doing mostly goblet squats and my low back has been pretty sore. I videoed myself in many angles and noticed some movement at the bottom. While I work on my hip and ankle mobility, do you think it is safe enough to continue squats and just stop at the point where I get this pelvic movement (after I rest my sore back of course)? Thanks for all the videos you do!

    Hey Aaron, thanks to your video, I noticed a pinching sensation in my right ankle when in dorsi flexion. I have tried the ankle mobilization exercise with a 60lb band. I’m 99% sure the placement of the band is correctly over the talus bone, but it’s not lifting the pinching sensation.
    Can it be because maybe there isn’t enough tension on the band and ankle?

    just squat let your body go down the way it naturally wants to. forcing your legs to go down a certain way mimicking another persons body structure will lead to issues later on. everybodys structure is not the same. long legs short legs. stocky skinny. some people walk and naturally point their feet out.

    Oddly enough, my right side mobility increased after doing these and my left side did not. The left one is the one I put a little more stretch focus and time into because I messed it up a couple years ago and it hasn't been the same since. In fact, two of these stretches really made my left anterior ankle joint hurt. Nothing new there though. All I can do is continue to try and increase my left side ankle mobility. I'm daily stretching it and all throughout the day.

    Just recently bumped my frequency up from 3 to 4 days per week. I'm a pretty new lifter, serious for only a few months. I struggle with improving my ankle mobility. It seems that any ankle mobility gains I get from mobility drills don't translate over week over week. I like to use a loaded barbell on my quads while in a squat, seems to help for that squat session. I can feel a deep pull or tightness in the lower heel area, with my left ankle being tighter. Do you think I should increase frequency of mobilisation drills? Maybe try something new? Love to hear what you think. Btw, it's hilarious seeing how mobile your ankles are. I use the wall test all the time and I'm super lucky to get a fist length of dorsiflexion. Love your channel

      Thank you so much! I would work on expressing your ankle mobility throughout the day. Mobilize and then work on sitting in a deep squat often during the day (trying to accumulate around 10 minutes total). This will help lock-in the mobility as we often only do mobility work before our workout and then never really use that full motion the rest of the day.

      thx man. I try to do Kelly Starrett's 10 min squat test quite frequently. I use a band to help me into a deep squat and rock forward on both sides, trying to free up some ROM. It's tough to get leverage to really get my knees past my toes. thx for the advice. I'll get there

    At the end I request everyone to see the distance of hips from the ground. Its not the same.

    Thanks for the video, what kind of band are you using here. What key word should I search for if I wanted to purchase one?

      @SquatUniversity  Před 6 lety

      You're so welcome! And I'm using a monster stretch band - you can find them on roguefitness.com and performbetter.com has some as well (I believe I'm using one that's ~2-1/2 inches in diameter).

    I do Sheiko programs.
    Three times a week
    I have disproportion, my femur is looooong, torso short and it stops me from enjoying squats, wich I really love. Thinking about buying wl shoes.

    When I'm foam rolling does it matter if I'm sitting on the ground while rolling out my calf muscles to release tightness? Or would you recommend I lift myself up with my hands to create more pressure on the foam roller?

    • @SquatUniversity
      @SquatUniversity  Před 6 lety +2

      Good question - so it really depends how much pressure your body can tolerate. Ideally your body requires a certain amount of pressure in order to make a change in the tissues. If you're too light you won't be very efficient with the roller. Too much and you'll just be in crazy pain. So it's all about finding that perfect medium for your body

    What's the answer for people who have a lot of butt wink and lower back soreness/pain with cumulative squatting? Cut depth to the point where butt wink doesn't occur?

  • @kurtkrienke2956
    @kurtkrienke2956 Před 5 lety

    I'm not even close to this level of ankle mobility, even after foam rolling and stretching. I'll keep it up, hoping it will start to show an effect after multiple sessions.

    Lifted relatively heavy (2x BW on the barbell) for years with seriously un-ideal amounts of butt wink and never once had a back injury. Granted I'm trying to fix it now to optimize, but can definitely attest to it being less a massive problem for lifters and more just a buzzword topic for generic youtubers to discuss. Great vid.

      Nobody has an injury until they do. Granted there are many mistakes one can make in their form and possibly never experience issues directly, but that's like saying smoking isn't a huge deal because there are 90-year-olds who still smoke.

    It just seems that he didn’t go as far down as he did the first time, you can see his butt on the left side is closer to the floor than the right side. Plus he’s taller on the right side meaning he didn’t go as far down even tho (as seen by the black line on the wall) the video on the left is slightly above the video on the right

    What if a person has this posterior pelvic tilt in their upright posture. How can we fix the posterior pelvic. (Buttwink) when a squat or deadlift is performed it appears that the hinge is beginning at the low back rather than the hips. Any suggestions would be great
