Deep Squat Form

Yours in Solutions,
Ben

I’ve never liked squatting because of my weak ankle mobility forcing my heels to rise when squatting and how much strain the load would put on my back because of that. So it’s really nice to hear people like yourself actually train with heels up and that it’s actually good to strengthen the knees that way! I’ve had a lingering knee issue for years and it’s been flaring up more and more lately (especially after a basketball session) so I’m gonna give these videos a go.. Will report back in a future video 👍

I have recently switched to doing barbell back squats with the slant after years-long effort of rebuilding my knees using Zero, Dense, and a few other programs to try. I also prefer to only elevate my heels when doing these - it’s what feels best. I used to HATE barbell back squats because it would hurt my knees. After putting in the work, and now doing what feels right while still emphasizing my knee health, it has become one of my favorite exercises! Thank you, Ben and the ATG family!!

I have nothing but thanks to offer this gentleman, simply the best was written to describe him.

I always keep hearing about how "a deep squat should be an innate human ability" but I have serious butt wink when I try to deep squat, so your split squats and heels up squats work so much beter for me.

i keep coming back to this man its the best squat video ever

[Loveever]

great work
i wonder if you do any cold plunges or sauna ?

[Leethal]

Thankyou for making the endless options clear. What a great community service you are doing!

[hidalgokaballiero]

Can't thank this dude enough.
An excellent example of global human progress pusher.

Ben, thank you for all the info as always and I wanted to share one thing that I have found randomly that has allowed me to squat without knee pain and also got rid of ten years of pain in my right foot. I started using lineman attachment on landmine in which you squat at an angle on balls of your feet. After month of doing this, the planter fasciitis in my foot has gone away. But it makes sense since the movement is similar to squats on slant board.

[silasgroenning]

Precise and relevant. Very pleased you told the angle on the slantboard for a diy. 👍👍👍

i love these small installments they keep reminding me useful details and the correct form to perform atg movements

Does anyone know - If I do lots of squats - what if anything do I need to do to balance things out? (For the record I also do the whole simple leg routine - tibialis, both calves, behind the knee, etc - and a few core and back things - and a couple balance and core stability things too - I got a whole routine down that is super efficient and takes like ten minutes. So if you’re reading this - thanks Ben for helping with that already!)

Hello i have calf pain when i squat atg please help me

[sadmeme]

you should make a video about wrists!!!

[con_barn]

Hey thanks for the exercises and workouts. I was just wondering if there was a way to address any pain in the quad tendon. I injured my knee in October and lately I've been feeling pain in the quad tendon in my right knee. (Everything else feels fine) I was hoping if there were any rehab exercises I could do and ways to strengthen this tendon.

So what would be your advice on lack of flexion, as in I can't go to heels on the floor or sitting on shins

[SakataSamig]

I been looking for this in your YouTube channel wondering if you created a video about squats, perfect timing.

[GoalGlory]

Do you think someone would see faster results with getting rid of knee pain by doing body knee exercises and flossing daily or would it be better to have more Time in between sessions

Ben, i've been struggling to grow my right quad and overall leg, even though my 2 meniscus injuries were 4-5 years ago. Recently tried the tibialis raises and atg split squat and I feel my flexibility increasing! Wondering if there's anything better to accelerate quad/leg growth. Appreciate all you do!! Thank you. 🙏🙏
