Two Ankle Mobility Exercises To Increase Your Squat Depth!

In today's society everyone is constantly sitting down and not moving much. We have lost the natural human ability to be able to squat down and sit there. A major reason we can't squat anymore is that we lack ankle mobility. Here are two ankle mobility exercises to increase your squat depth.

tall people unite. I will definitely be trying this out thank you. I have been bugging you guys on the QUAH about this for a while and this is just what I needed to get my ankle moving when it wants to lock up. thank you

[scottphillips]

I have watched countless videos about this topic and this is the best one I have watched yet.

This is the best ankle flexibility explanation I have seen yet. Thank you very much.

[ryanschabo]

Wow, game changer! Thanks for the great tips!

[crazybfan]

I'm a short person and I still nee the ankle mobility big time. First one is great. For the second one I'm going to throw a super band around my hips attached to a doorway down low to give me an assist until the point where I don't need it anymore. Thanks guys!

"he's in the number 2 position".Haha Justin always with the subtle one liners

I'm quite tall - 187 cm having similar restrictions in ankle mobility. Normally I squat putting little plates (1, 25 kg) under heels. I'm gonna try those exercises to see how it works, thanks for clear and short video!

[deepsheth]

The perfect thing that I have found so far👍🏻 keep it up guys

So crazy I’ve been doing big this move for a few months not knowing I was correcting myself ankle. It just felt better after doing so!!!! Glad I came across this video.

[Fit.Shuffler]

Love this mobility work! What are the names of these two movements?

[jacquelineblackmore-allen]

Great video. I always avoided squatting because of my poor ankle mobility. I'm now determined to fix it! My question is when doing the circles in the squat position, should you only do this when your heels are able to be flat on the ground? Or can you do it when your heels are raised?

I can't wait to see what happens after trying these mobility exercises for awhile. My hunch is they're going to completely change my life and the way I move in my body. That sounds like an exaggeration unless you realize that I only have about 90 degrees of dorsiflexion. In the morning I have to force my ankles just to stand up. Most ankle mobility exercises focus on things that aren't a problem for me. Finding this video made my day...Maybe my month.

I'm glad sal brought up the soleus flexion. My dorsi flexion is strong af but when I did this wall text I lacked a ton of soleus

[firdausravindar]

Thanks bro for uploading this precious video, i am 6ft 3 and having the same problem of tipping over when trying to squat.

[alexmorataya]

I’ll definitely give this a try…..my knees hurts too which makes it hard but let’s see if I can progres on my ankle mobility because I need it!
Thanks for the info!!!

[Grizz]

When doing the first exercise on my right leg, my knee wants to bend over to the left. But on my left leg, my knee aligns over my left foot. I there a problem with one of them?

[paws.of.anarchy]

So if I can't get sit down into the squat with heels down do I just sit in the squat with my heels up? How long should i stay in the position each time i try this? By just sitting like that will my heals eventually get to the ground? Hope this made sense. I have terrible ankle mobility since I broke my ankle in 2015 and I'm not really sure that I'll ever get it back. any advice is really appreciated

[amyknight]

thanks for this video! just discovered I have work to do with my squat and I will incorporate these into daily activities.

[naseemalam]

Great video as always from the MP crew. If you guys could make a video depicting ankle mobility exercises and strengthing that would be amazing. I suffer from alot of ankle injuries and all people keep telling me is once your ankle sprains its never as strong as it once was. For once i would love to come back stronger from these injuries.
