Ankle Mobility While Squatting

If you're having trouble squatting here's a quick fix.

Place a strip or plate under the heel of your feet. This will help you improve your depth while squatting. 

This is a quick solution to a larger issue. Why can't you squat properly without the strip or plates?

There are a few possible reasons:

1. You have poor ankle and hip mobility. If this is the case than you need to improve mobility in these joints,

2. You have poor flexibility. Incorporate a flexibility program into your routine.

3. You have poor strength in your lower body.

4. Do you have a previous injury that is reducing your range of motion?
