I've been squatting for a while now using a very wide stance in which I get somewhere around parallel. I want to switch to a narrower stance and be able to go much lower but whenever I try it just feels like I'm going to fall over before I get anywhere near parallel. What are some ways to help me keep balance and go deep? Or should I just keep a wide stance and try to make myself go deeper in that stance?
do front squats first. it's a corrective exercise and it should show you proper posture.
Stretch thighs and spend time every day hanging onto a post practicing ATG squats to increase hip flexibility
>>298849Err, meant calfs.
>>298833Do some calf raises
>>298844we have a winneralso, the op's picture is often used to diagnose any and all problems. do OH squats
Calf flexibility a large part of being able to to atg?>>298869I usually do calf raises 2x a week, once standing at 500~ lb (body weight + added), and seated at 360 lb, 4 sets 8 reps each. Should I change this at all? I usually go down to as much a stretch as possible and flex at the top almost to point of cramping.
>>298890A large part of being able to do squats correctly, period

>>298844this and pistol squats. these are one legged squats that help with balance and ROM. do them in a door way or in the power rack where ur facing the side and hold your arms straight. you can catch yourself if you lose balance while increasing your depth by tapping the door way or cage frame. you can work with a stool too: tap ur butt on it and make it lower each set until you get ur ROM where it needs to be
WATS RWONG WIT HER ELBOW?
Looks double-jointed? Or maybe just really flexible. I knew a scrawny little stick of an asian girl who could do that too. Seriously, I think she had negative weight. I could put her in a chair? And the chair would be lighter, man. What the shit.
>>298941The elbow looks normal to me, other than the fact that it's attached to an emotionally-unhinged, intellectually-challenged, drama-creating, gold-digging, attention-seeking semen-receptacle.AKA, an average woman.
>>298921>>298941>>298963She has hyperflexible elbows. A lot of women have that. It's normal.
she has beautiful form. women, due to their fat asses (ie lower Center of gravity) can get that perfect position in the hole. wow
