Why does it seem like there’s just too much to do? I need to work on mobility I need to work on flexibility, I need to actually work out, I need to go to class, I need to do school work, I need to do chores to keep my place clean, I need to go to work, I need to cook, save time for my significant other, time with the family, make time for my friends, enjoy hobbies, have a life in general. I need to sleep as well and everything in between and I do t even have kids…

Why do so many programs have so many things to do and why do people sell so much BS? Not saying this guy does but in general man… I just want to have something that covers my bases that I can rotate to not be stagnant and stale and be healthy.

From someone who has had so bad dorsiflexion i could not walk because my foot was pointing down after the surgery, the one thing that worked best for dorsiflexion was calf raises on one leg, but only the eccentric portion. Start standing on your toes on one foot with heel off the edge of a stair, lower yourself down until you feel a good stretch in the calf region - repeat for reps, use your other leg to get into starting position on your toes.

As a kinesiology student this information is valuable to me since biomechanics is my favorite specialization. Thank you for this knowledge king 👑 🙏

Dude I just want to say I bought your Squat Bible book back in 2015 when I was deployed and it changed the way I lift. You are doing the lords work and I think you are a true craftsman at what you do. Keep spreading the good word you rock!

[Ktotheyle]

I’ve broken my feet twice and fractured my ankles twice. These are great exercises and has helped me through my recovery. I just want to say thank you to squat university.

[godeater]

You are easily the best health specialist on social media

[williamjames]

Broke my ankle really bad end of 2020, mobility is bad since then. These drills are my new hope to pain free squatting

[easypeasy]

This was a good hint. I always felt something is wrong but I couldnt quite put my finger on it. Now I have found out the reason. Thank you so much.

[elizahhoward]

There are so many ways to accomplish things I'm so grateful to live in a world of all this free info

Was having knee pain and did ankle mobility and squatting with a band above my knees and now no pain. This guy is a legend

[gordonray]

I am this guy!! Have tried everything. I will do these!!! Thank you for this info.

just spent 20 hours over past few days learning how badly i messed up stregnth training before the days of youtube. I now understand why I was so weak and am thankful for the content, but sure it's a pain, I just made sure to take notes on everything, lots of cues. Hopefully I dont lose the ankle mobility if I dont squat for a while, will just have to drill this into everyday life even if I have to skip workouts sometimes.

I dont think i would have even considered tibia rotation as a problem, even though my restriction is with an ankle that rotationally dislocated (15 years ago). Thank you so much for leaving all of this knowledge out there with such great access as well

[Tallpeasant]

Had no idea that tibial rotation is what I was missing. Thanks for the vid!

[LuLzezRoflcopter]

Also practice horse stance, the deeper the better and focus on driving ur knees outward while ur feet face forward

[alvizaman]

doing calf raises and single leg pogo actually helped my ankle impingement! before during dorsiflexion I wasn't feeling much stretch and barely had any inches, but after the raises i got my dorsiflexion back to my stronger leg 💪

[BAYKING_]

You're a legend mate with all these tips. I appreciate it

[TheOdetus]

That mobility seen on the video is what I'd call a good day.

[misterneckbreaker]

Hamstrings do the work going down strengthen them. If your hamstrings are weak you will feel work go to the knees.

[johnfrench]

Damn! Been struggling with my left knee since a high school injury 20 years ago... I just tried that band drill, and my left foot really struggles holding the band! Going to do this one every day and see where it goes. Thanks Dr. Squat!
