The simplest SQUAT MOBILITY routine

I do a similar thing with my athletes who say that cant hold their breath for long enough when they do their underwaters. On Wednesday, Grant kept coming up early for air when he would flip turn. So I prescribed a new drill for him that is intended to greatly improved his lung capacity: much in the same way that you are doing for people's bottom position. Before each workout I tie a strong bungee to the bottom of the 15ft diving pool (how strong? well strong enough that he is barely capable of getting to the surface for small amounts of air). I knot it around his waste, and a few other objects in the pool, and the goal is to stay underwater for as long as it takes until he can untie it. The two days I forced him to do this he failed, and needed to be cut out of the bungee, but don't worry i punished him for that. Gonna have a talk with the club owner, and inform him that Grant just isn't cut out for the sport. I can't waste my time cutting kids out of bungees because they aren't capable of developing quick enough, when I have other elite 12 year olds to coach to the legendary status I have reached. On the bright side however, got the waterbed touched up, the letterman steam pressed, and gonna be hitting up Rocco's tonight to meet a woman, who can handle a nice piping on the new silk touch that was just installed on the bed.

who knew my years of squatting on cement smoking joints has actually been training for my squat/olympic lifts! thanks for the tip giraffe man

I've been spending hours a day in this position as teenager working in agriculture (small greenhouses, you literally have to be down so your head doesn't hit ceiling) in my village. It's actually very natural position once you get used to it, it takes small amount of effort later. You can also try to walk in this position as we had to in order to move inside greenhouse. I mean, you don't have to, you can crawl but I found it easier and less dirty to use this.

Thankz zacc I'm gonna abuse this and just make it my whole training session

[sarahwrenger]

I love that this is in Clarences Beginner's Guide as 'the best mobility video ever made'.

Been doing this, noticed the difference in about 4 days. Ridiculously helpful for how simple it is.

After 6 months I can definitely say that this drill with some general mobility and flexibility training really improved my snatch ( my butt is almost near the ground) and I got rid of any kind of pain and stiffness in the hip.

I went from thirty seconds holding onto a support four weeks ago, to four minutes freestanding today. Feels good (afterwards)!

[Ahmed-vkpv]

Love the low key feel of this, really adds to the simplicity of the method

[ComfortableTool]

No wonder slavs are so good at weightlifting

[garciaalan]

This tip was super effective! I went from holding a minute to 3 minutes and change in two days. Will continue until I can go for five minutes. That said, I continued my back squat progression after the second day and hit new depth and could really feel the stretch in my quads down to near my knees. I did however make the mistake of not stepping down my weight (in fact I continued to increase by ten lbs) and tweaked my low back a bit (nothing 2-3 days of rest won't fix). I'd recommend stepping weight down a bit after increasing squat depth mobility to let new range of motion catch up a bit.

Simplistically promotes adherence and adherence promotes progress

Me-”this seems pretty good”

My dorsiflexion “ Imma end this whole mans career”

[sunshinecitypersonaltraini]

Just seeing this. I have been doing something similar and agree that its very effective! In addition to this I try to sit in a deep squat periodically throughout the day and have seen improvements in depth and hip flexor mobility as well. Thanks for this!

Doing this as a warmup each time I feel like I'm better depth and it feels great.

[stuarttaylor]

Been doing this for about two weeks now, and I love it. It definitely helps me receive lower almost immediately without thinking about it

[acenine]

I can squat 225 20 times at 150, and doing this for 30 seconds while holding on to a table was excruciating. Definitely gonna have to start incorporating this as well some pause squats into my training.

Recently I felt like the weight my program has been prescribing has started to get too heavy for what my form can allow.

Stuff like this will help me take a step back and improve my underlying strength so I can get back to progressing.

[syahrules]

I've been doing this everyday ever since I saw you post this challenge on insta. Recently reached 2:30min straight.

Ahahhah I've been an exchange student in Beijing for a month now and majority of the toilets are still essentially a hole in a ground. I've been struggling sometimes when going number 2 but I bet this is really gonna make the rest of my exchange a lot easier 😂😂 Thank you

I've worked up to nearly 25 mins in one long hold. At the end of that your feet feel as though they've went to sleep and you pretty much have to gently fall back on your butt because everything is numb and standing up feels too hard! That's the longest i've ever done it for so far. I do it every day usually for around 5 to 15 mins at a time depending on how i feel. If i feel bored i just do a minimum if i feel good i do it longer. No rules really regarding time in it as long as i do something every day.
