Also, sitting at the bottom of an Asian squat for 5 minutes a day will help.


I can't get that low without weight legs and belly too big. Working on that though. May just get easier the more weight I lose

Try holding onto a pole and sitting into the squat. Member, foot completely flat on ground from toe to heel. Ease into if you have to, or perform a few air squats holding on to the pole. Do 10, then go a little lower. 10 more, lower. Your problem areas should be getting greased.

When you get into proper depth, take notice on where you are feeling discomfort. These are the areas you need to focus on stretching. Are your hips screaming? Groin area? Are your shoe strings jumping up and down cause your ankles are in shock?

Next time you are set to squat, stretch these areas throughly.

Try overhead squats with an empty barbell or even just a broomstick . This will help identify and correct where the tightness is .
