Been making a lot of progress but my ligaments are still messed up from being skinny + sedentary during school and smoking cigs a lot. I can't slav squat.
I'm kind of just doing bad incomplete squats and at home, and subbing lower body machines for standing lifts I can't really complete due to my heels being CIA.
How do I like heelmaxxxx specifically. How do I beat the CIA
I've been working on this a lot lately with some very slow success and found my main limiter at the moment is ankle mobility, hamstring tension second, hip flexors third. It takes an annoyingly long time to get results particularly when the rest of my life is pretty sedentary I'll limber up my hamstrings and then feel like I've undone any good by sitting in an office chair for hours, but bit by bit my range of motion has changed over the past 3-4 months.
https://exrx.net/Kinesiology/Inflexibilities#Dorsiflexion I always recommend exrx, it's kinda old these days but it covers so much without any fads or memes. Movementbydavid on instagram is good for stretch and exercise ideas, too.
Elephant walks are so amazing
Gonna try these out during warm up tomorrow, thank you!
Don't be ashamed to start higher than you think you need to. You can progress pretty fast if you consistently do it.
