To help the algorithm... my favourite squat is a wide plié squat. Enjoy your holiday🎉 I was taught to cross over my hands on the barbell for the front squat. Long time ago so may no longer be best practice. It does seem to help the wrists a little.

Great tips! I love sumo for the longest time I thought that was how to get rid of the excess weight on my inner thighs lol. Now I know I like them because I struggle with hip mobility and squats are easier when my legs are wider

I love a barbell back squat because I feel quite strong when I go up in weight, but I very rarely have spotters available so I'm kinda scared of failing in a back squat, so my next go-to is goblet squats because they atleast feel safer for me to do!

Hmm, I am unable to do narrow squats and suitcase hold properly without compromising my form and back. Also whenever I do normal (non-exercise) squats I do lift my toes. I absolutely need that ankle dorsiflexion stretches-and lose fat because my legs are huuugee.

@JustinaErcole 2 ай бұрын

If you’re lifting your toes, that’s actually more dorsiflexion! I would recommend thinking of your foot as a tripod and pushing into the big toe, pinky, and heel as you stand :)
