Mobility for squat and deadlifts

What is the best mobility for squats and deadlifts?

Hey Jorge, for deadlift you do not need particular mobility, while, for the squat, if you can do a squat with feet together all the way down you have all the mobility of the ankle that it the biggest limiting factor.

Hello Alessandro

I cannot squat down at all. My butt stays up at 45 degrees above what would be if my thighs were parallel to the floor.

I suspect both ankles, lower back and hips are the problem. This is not directly addressed in F1.

Are there any assisting exercises I could try or should I just keep going through F1 and wait till it fixes itself?

Thank you

Riccardo

Honestly, i talk for my experience of plus than 12 years trying to improve the ankle mobility, at this type of deficit is solved the problem by using the weightlifting shoes for squat.

So you suggest of using such shoes, but will barefoot mobility improve as a consequence?

thank you

Ok so there is no hope to achieve full ROM in squat without weightlifting shoes?

I talk for my experience, no.

Also my brother same problem, no improvements.

I do not think it is an "approach" problem. because with the same methodology i have reached all the major goals like spits, bridge etc.
