Is there a way to test ankle mobility or is there a way to show when you have enough mobility?? I cant bodyweight squat without hunching over and Im thinking that it is anklemobility but i cant tell.
@brady1123 The squat pattern demonstarted is for UNLOADED positions to improve hip mobility. In regards to "crossfit" and "Rippetoe" with "feet turned out" these positions are for loaded squats. The idea is that with the feet straight there is a BUFFER zone of mobility to perform a loaded squat or extra range of motion to prevent injuries via Gray Cook, PT. With the feet externally rotated or "duck foot" position the person is already at END RANGE of motion in the hip and ankle.
Great work, Dr. Starrett. I'm curious about your recommendation that we place our feet straight forward. I know CrossFit and Rippetoe both teach a squat with feet turned slightly out to accommodate the angle of the femur in relation to the pelvis. s this turn out only necessary for squatting with a load? Or am I missing something else?
First of all, a big thank you for doing this! I have so many problems with inflexibility, especially with the squat. Sure will follow this hard! Mobility is my prio one right now.
Awesome Kelly. Will be following along and doing this for sure. Clearly this is for 8-23 so we'll start tomorrow. To sore at the moment anyway. Looking forward to the rest!
Nice

I was one of those that needed to hold on to something, but my ankles finally saw past 90 degrees. I hoping this helps.
