How to Keep or Rebuild Your SQUAT MOBILITY!

3 solutions that helped me recover my deep squat ability.

Due to chronic pain and injuries, I didn’t deep squat for almost a decade.

These 3 solutions are the way I got it back…

First, you don’t “have” to do anything for squat mobility other than USE your squat mobility.

My kids will keep theirs by exercising it.

3 sets of 5, 5 seconds down, is one of the protocols in ATG Zero.

I was one of millions of young athletes prevented from using my natural squat mobility due to the mistaken fear of knees over toes training.

My knee pain and injuries were so bad, I didn’t even rest in a deep squat for many years.

The first solution that helped me was training one side at a time in a diagonal motion.

This allows more direct ankle mobility training, and for my knees this was very GENTLE.

3 sets of 5 with a 5-second stretch on each rep is what’s used in ATG Zero.

But this same motion progresses to elite levels of strength and flexibility.

It’s the single best exercise investment I ever put in my body.

I’ve been working on it for 10 years.

For the second solution, I did squats with heel elevation to allow more range of motion.

This is not “necessary” but it can help with knee breakthroughs!

The final solution for me involved my inner thighs.

You can train this strength and flexibility at the same time, allowing smoother, deeper and stronger hip motion in your squats.

2 sets of 20 works great.

To be clear: I don’t care how “good” my squat mobility is.

I do this stuff because it happens to have given me a new life by not having to worry about my knees - or my back!

This has been invaluable to me as an athlete and now “DAD,” and I hope it helps you, too.

I do these methods every week in the ATG Pro program.

ATG Zero is shown first in the app, and you can toggle right to Pro.

Zero is the basics, and Pro adds the further variations I enjoy.
