True!
One thing that improved my squat tremendously: squatting
Doing 30-60 bodyweight squats (while holding on to a chair) + ATG split squats x3 per week allowed me to go from not even going past 90° to deep squat with heels only 2 fingers above the ground in only a month

About 15+ years ago, I read an article about the wonders of Hindu squats by a trainer named Matt Furey. Inspired by the article, I subsequently tried doing a few sets of the exercise. Nothing bad seemed to happen in the moment, they just felt a little awkward. But then I woke up the next morning with very stiff and painful knees. The symptoms were somewhat similar to those associated with a mild MCL sprain. I could barely get down to a 3/4 squat position before my knees would tighten up painfully. At the time, it seemed like a pretty minor injury and I did not see a doctor. I figured I'd let the sprain settle down and then start to gently work my way back to ATG squatting. But it never happened. After months of stretching, I eventually was able to get down to a parallel squat, but not much further. Years later, I find myself in the same situation. The thing which limits my deep squatting is not ankle mobility or hip mobility, but restricted ROM at the knee. I rarely see lack of knee flexion mentioned as a limitation for deep squatting. Is that a less common issue? Seems like it could be a big problem among people who have issues with prior knee injuries.

I'm very lucky in that, at 68, I have better ankle mobility than my 30-year old PT and can squat deep, but the problem comes when I start to load up the bar, when going deep is much more of a challenge getting back up.

I’m taking your elements class and the around the world was impossible for me. I’m sure my very tight shoulders kept me from this exercise. Any advice on this one.

Would you say that this is also a reasonable approach for someone who is struggling to get anywhere close to a squat right now? Meaning poor physical body but otherwise healthy and uninjured. Just a person who has been couch surfing for longer than they care to admit and can’t even get close to a squat position but is indeed enjoying the ground movements and is willing to work and wait for appropriate results (ie: not looking for a quick fix). Would absolutely value your thoughts:)
