I feel pain in my calves. when I stay there too long, eventhough I get in the squat just fine. Its almost as if my centre of gravity pulls me backwards. I wonder if this is still a strength issue

Hello sir, i am an 19 years old boy from Romania, i just found that i have FAI in the both sides, i m thinking about a surgery but at the same time at FAI fix, one answer from you will help me a lot.

ooh its the internal rotation exercise i need. ty. deep squats are not hard for me even though i am not very flexible- i learned to do them to fit in in Japan 20 years ago. but yeah the knees want to rotate out and i knew that was weird. i am bowlegged fyi

What do you suggest in the case of a hip replacement? Quads are super weak unfortunately!

[hollitheexaltedempress]

I have tightness and pain when stretching the muscles around my patella.

[adoftw]

what about squatting with straight back without humping when you are down pls help.. i think this is bad if you are putting barbell on your back

[inkdew]

American: i do a lot of exercise (squats)
Asian (while squatting casually): exercise? thats for babies!

[philippathrossell]

Most helpful was split squats, but all cool

You are ignoring a very big factor here which is quite shocking to me. Most people dont have enough dorsiflexion in their ankle preventing them to go deeper in the squat. Whats your reasoning to not even bothering mentioning it?

[ramanmccauley]

My left ankle dorsiflexion is worse than my right ankle... therefore it stops me from achieving a perfect asian squat. How can I fix my left ankle impingement?

[kittenheels]

very much appreciated!...the Lord blessed you with nice toes..very cute!..thank you ..you always make my life better!..A++++ content..all of these moves are good for me.

[traceylennon]

Asian people dominate flexibility..is that a stereotypical statement?
