How to Squat With Long Femurs

Are you a taller lifter with long legs? If yes, you might have a harder time squatting to depth.
Here are 2 ways you can modify your squat to squat deeper

1. Squat Wider: By widening your squat stance, you give yourself more space to hit depth. You're essentially making your legs a bit shorter by squatting wider.

2. Use Squat Shoes With a Heel: If you have long femurs, your knees will have to travel further. This requires more ankle dorsiflexion than a shorter person does. Squat shoes will reduce the ankle mobility requirements. Also, the more knee travel you have, the more upright you can squat. The more upright you squat, the deeper you will be able to squat.

Remarkably good explanation and visuals. I've been squatting 45 years and have long femurs. Yours is the best and concise advice and explanation I've ever seen or heard on the subject of squatting. It's an important issue. I'm surprised this doesn't have ten times more views.

Thank you for this video that gets straight to the point Underdog Strength! Many people beat around the bush and dont explain what we came for right away. Thank you!

Long femur gang checking in. It ain’t easy but we can’t make excuses! Good video bro

[patforpatrick]

Great video and explanation. 6’2 long femurs here squatting is a struggle to figure out. Seems to always cause some kind of lower back irritation despite belting and mobility exercises.
