Squatting Below Parallel

Post Reply New Topic

Wondering if anyone has had any decent results from this exercise

I'm hoping for better range of motion

I often squat below parallel when gardening.

it must work then

A billion people still doing the 'Asian squat'. I suspect an inability to do it would be inferior to an ability to do it.

I squat like a Russian regularly.

Until the post surgical swelling dissipates I can't squat at all. Since one knee bends way further than the other squatting will topple me onto my right side...no doubt with comical effect.

I can do a deep (asian) squat. I like to squat over things. I've squatted over a ceramic polar bear, over an electric bill and over a framed photograph of Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley from the Potter nonsense). That's really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things I've squatted over.

I squatted over the doorstep of the RBS one time

It was a great relief I can tell you

I can do a deep squat but my ankles complain after a short while.

I'm thinking they work the whole leg so that I don't have to do 3 separate sets of three different squats

I'm doing it with a light barbell and by the time I get to half way through my second set I'm almost done

My ankles are killing me so I'm a bit reserved.

Yeah you need to take it easy sometimes I think
