I frequently hear people in gyms claim that they aren’t “mobile” enough to squat all the way down. They quit squatting as a result, and miss out on all the potential benefits squatting and squat-related exercises can offer.
Due to the added difficulty getting into or holding the proper position, mobility limits in the wrists, shoulders, hip mobility and hip flexion, and ankles can limit the advantages a lifter can obtain from squats.
Squat mobility issues can also make it less enjoyable for a lifter to practise these squat depth techniques, which can lead to frustration, discomfort, or even pain and injury.
Below we’ll go through the best exercises to improve your squat mobility and overall strength training, and feel free to follow along with me in the video! With these squat mobility exercises, you’ll have improved your deep squat position in no time!
