I’ve been doing GB for 2 years now. I’m still in foundations and stretching. My main problem is being able to get into a full squat with good form. My hip mobility isn’t there yet in addition to a tight lower back. Is there a daily routine I can do to get me to the point of a great squat?

Hey Greyson, are you sure the problem is the hips mobility? how did you get to this conclusion?
i have a good test for you. hold your legs together...completely. then perform a full quat, if you cannot perform this type of squat you have ankles problem and not hips problem !!
actually, i have the most ridiculous full squat....well...i almost reach the parallel with a lot of forward bending...but i have side split...front splits...pike..pancake...hips problems? nope....damn ankles!

If I do this, it definitely seems to be ankles. Do you know the yoga pose called happy baby? Lying on my back, I have trouble getting my knees to my chest which seems to be from hips.
The knee series and front split stretch series videos from the subscription should solve this, Greyson.
