knee mobility

Hi folks,

Pls I need some advice.As you can see on picture there are two persons doing squats.One of them is me [ that bad one ] and second one is my friend.My friend had many knee`s injuries but instead of me he is able to do this range of mobility.Would someone give me some tips how to extend my knee mobility PLs?Without this proper mobility i am not able to move to futher progress in my SLs training.

Thank you very much

Knee mobility is covered extensively in the Foundation One and Foundation Two online courses.

As coach said.

Besides that, spend some time daily in squat position, 5mins or more (just at beginning watch carefully when your body tells you it is too much, as it as well may be less than 5mins), try to move a bit in squat position (sides, front) keeping your feet fully on the ground, feel free to keep your feet bit wider (than in the pic, up to shoulder width). Stretch calves; in fact it is good idea to stretch other muscles as well .

Look carefully at the photo. To me it would seem that your principle issue is with *ankle* mobility.

Hi Coach,

I am doing actually F2 but you can see picture of mine.

Thank you guys for advice..i`ll follow them.

You look like you have to work on ankle flexibility, but it also looks like your femur is longer than your friend's (could be optical illusion), thus putting your centre of gravity towards your heels, making you tip backwards. Next time you see him, try to compare your anthropometry.

Did you begin with F1?

Hi,

you are right his femur is really shorter than mine.

Yes its all done apart from FL.All SLs exercises  were not really difficult till SLs SE2

The FLS iM exercises from F1 are what I am primarily concerned with.  Did you master all of those as well, or focus only on the preparatory FLS elements.  

If you mastered the iMs, please post video of same.

I have similar body proportions for the femur and have similarly tight ankles, and if SE2 is giving you trouble, I would be very interested in seeing whether/how you mastered deck squats and Hawaiian squats. (Hint: It's all about ankle mobility.)

You really need to do A LOT of work on ankle mobility and I'd very strongly recommend you enroll in Front Split Stretching course to correct this deficit.

With your current squat mobility I would really be surprised if you mastered SLS PE1 from the ground. Could you post a video?
