Squat Form: Depth vs. Safety

And leave the quarter squats to gym bros chasing clout.

Final thought: squat to the depth YOUR body allows, pain-free, and progress from there.

100%. My ATG improved once I started daily ankle mobility.

Same here, Olivia. Video is the best form check tool.
And don’t forget mobility drills. Hip openers, ankle stretches = easier depth.

I film my squats to check depth. Sometimes feels deep but video shows otherwise.

Yes! Controlled descent, tight core, steady drive up. That’s how you squat safe.

ATG isn’t always the problem — it’s bad control. People dive-bomb into the hole and bounce off their knees.

And don’t let your knees cave in. Use bands for practice if needed.

Jake, check your stance width. Too narrow = more knee stress. Also strengthen hamstrings to balance.

How do you deal with knee pain when going deep? Sometimes mine flare up.
