trying to point somebody in the right direction here. i am no expert ... so here i am. what types of stretches for flexibility to achieve squat depth... thanks in advance...
Posted something I thought was relevant, reread it, and realized it was a god-awful thread that wasn't helpful at all. I mindlessly posted it:|
How did you know?
I found the "Asian squat" / "third world squat" to be tremendously helpful.
^^^ what the fuck did I just watch. Sounds like he was trying to teach someone how to stretch in a construction zone lol.

I dont find that helpful at all. I could always do that asian squat since I was a child, but you sit in that asian squat with a rounded back and it doesnt stretch anything. So being able to asian squat allows me to squat with a rounded back....
Got the same problem with bodyweight squats. At the lowest point I can go with an arched back, I dont feel any stretch. If I go lower, my back just starts to round, so I still dont feel any stretch. Really makes it hard to believe that bodyweight squats can really be helpful!?
Im also still trying to figure out how to squat below parallel. I guess its pretty much everything from the waist down that has to be flexible. Gonna be some tough work all that stretching coming up...
That super squat video looks interesting. Gotta try that out. Although I believe I have pretty solid spiderman stretch flexibilty. Also, that looks pretty hard to for a pre workout routine. Id do that as a straight stretching session.
You don't do all of your mobility work in jeans?
