@@DemHoNMomentzthe muscle isn't the problem, it's actually very weak. The problem is the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest one in the whole body
@@davidfernandez8515So what are you saying, I should stretch the tendon instead of the muscle or how can I keep that mobility without doing mobility drills for the rest of my days?
@@FIGP1 its hard to regain mobility but easy to maintain it. You just have to make it a priority if you want that mobility and once you get it you can probably get away with doing them once or twice a week as long as youre using that range of motion.
You need to keep using the mobility if you stop using your muscles your body will set them into some energy efficiency mechanisms that will deteriorate it, if you want to feel young never stop moving and using all of your muscles
I have a huge problem with ankle mobility on my right. I deal with blockage pain trying to stretch my calf or try and squat ATG. Yes I've done banded joint mobilizations, goblet squats, calf stretches and ankle strengthen exercises using bands but they have not helped. I can't squat without that blockage on my right ankle which makes me helicopter and cave my right knee.
I sent it hard down a hug flight of stairs once and landed so hard on my left heel, I broke my talus, medial malleolus, and my fibula at the same. My ankle is pretty locked so whenever I try to squat I just end up falling backwards cause I can’t balance myself forward enough. Ever work with an injury like that while trying to increase leg strength?
What's up with our ankles struggling to just squat. My friends can just squat when we wait for the train with their asian ankles and I have to look for a seat.
Thank you SO MUCH for adding the timer and subtitles. Let's us veiwers know when to unmute away from the viral earworms some of these (decent) videos use to game the game.
Been using this mobility exercise as part of my warmup for leg days. Would you say this is a good idea? I feel like it has warmed up my knees, ankle and teardrop area of quad
What am I missing out on if I don’t do deep squats? At 49, with a wrecked Achilles-calf on one side, and I’ve had ankle reconstruction on the other and have major bone swelling in that ankle… I’m fine with going a little past 90 degrees.. I’m learning more about strengthening tendons to improve the Achilles and all that and making progress, but I feel like I can get a great workout without going full depth in my squats. I do isometric holds instead. I had bad knees since I was 20 also, so I’m protective of them- though they’re getting a lot better with my current regimen.
You can also do an exercise when you put a band around your ankle and tie it behind you. When you push forward, you're stretching the calves. If you do that and also strengthen Tibialis Anterior, you might just get rid of flat feet
Sounds like you have good ankle mobility and no previous ankle injuries. Mobility is different for everyone. I've been able to touch my toes my whole life regardless of my fitness (even when it's very poor), which isn't true for some folks. One little ankle sprain severely reduced my right ankle mobility, so I need to hit these.
@@oedaliswell that is good to know, I thought it was something everyone found hard regardless. Although I did pick up a ankle injury recently, but seems like it didn't hinder me a lot for this part. I went through my ankle quite badly, took 2 months to heal.
So what if your range of motion is more than "optimal"? Is that super optimal? Or is it going backwards, like it is too loose and needs to be tightened up?
Can you fix me? 😅ya girls got some issues (foot drop - no I’ve never had a stroke, terrible ankle mobility and shoulder issues. Maybe or may not all be related 🤷🏼♀️)
Hey, Squat University, i have a question about why lower ribs stick out? Maybe some of core muscles are weak or something? I can easily hold L-Sit though…
Hello sir, I had a Fasciotomy surgery performed on both legs when I was younger. I feel like it’s significantly limited my ankle mobility; when I perform this test, I feel like there is scar tissue limiting movement on both legs. Not sure what I can to help with this, as I don’t feel like it’s my calves that are the limiting part.
my ankle mobility is apparently ok, but it feels like it's not, i guess it may be relative femur length or something - any tests to see what else it could be?
I thought you were supposed to do that first test with your thumb out sticking out. I gotcmad when my knees couldn't reach the wall. I'm going back to try that test again.
WARNING! ⚠️ Be carefull with this stretch. I broke my ankle making this stretch. I think it's the tendon. Now I can not go for a longer walk without having pain the day after. It's been two years like this 😥
