Default How many here can Squat Flat-Footed?
I was just wondering, how many people here can do a full flat-footed squat? I'm not talking about with weights or anything, just sqatting all the way down with your heels on the ground.

I can't do it yet, and I've never been able to do it as an adult, but I've been working on it daily. It's one of my next goals.

I've noticed that the more I squat, the better my entire body seems to feel. I'm just wondering if there might be a correlation between not being able to squat deeply and TOS?

Well at least you can get down there. So far, you're the only one that's answered. I figured some of the younger people might be able to do it.

I heard somewhere, that in countries where they squat a lot, there are very few people with lower back problems. It seems to me, that that would translate to the upper body, as well.

Default No One Else?
So, no one else can do it?

I heard a trainer the other day say, that most people these days, are missing 50% of the range of motion in their hips and ankles. It's mostly because people sit in chairs all the time and it ruins your posture. I've been hearing a lot of bad things about sitting too much, lately.

I can do it, but it's hard to make my feet stay flat on the ground.

Don't ask me to stick my arms out when I do it.

My hip pt told me to do these every day. I do them at least 3x wk I use an excercise ball between my low back & a wall it makes a lot easier espec. if u have balance problems. I dont have a problem w keeping my heels on floor even w ankle pain. If u put all ur wt on the front part of ur foot this will make ur knees go past ur feet. Not a good thing for ur knees!

Default Squating flat footed
I am 52 and have been able to do this for many years because of my double joints and doing yoga. I do it with my feet the width of my shoulders and pointed out just a bit and arms between my legs to the floor for balance.

I can do it, but my toes turn out about 45 degrees. If they're suppose to be parallel - that's not going to happen.
