How to Increase My Squat Flexibility?

Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding

Hi

I really struggle with my squat. I am very stiff and got no flexibility what so ever, which result in a rounded back when I try to squat deep.

Can you recommend a before/after training routine I can use, so I can increase my squat mobility?

foam roller, work on your ankle mobility.

Glute Activation/Potentiation - - check out Thibaudeau’s High Threshold Hypertrophy book.

If you have a rounded back, elevate your heels on a 2x4 wood piece. If you don’t have that, use two 45 pound plates, and space them out accordingly.

Hope that helps,

Eric

I thought elevating your heels was a big no-no for strength training – at least according to Ripptoe and Pearl.

it’s just to get flexibility on, that’s why oly weightlifters use shoes with medium heels.
