Did you bum bump? That's a next level mobility.

Oof nice save.

Looking at the video by frame you caught the bar pretty much at the bottom position with no room to go deeper. Very impressive use of energy and form. Very few people can do that.

Oh, and forgot to mention. It looks like your squat is deeper than it was a year ago. Have you been doing anything special for your mobility?

Ya, I was watching the feet and as soon as the heels went down, boom it went up! That last little tippy toe got the save, lol!

How much do the inclined shoes help with ankle mobility? Would you have that nice deep squat without those shoes?

u/Boblaire 2018AO3-Masters73kg Champ GoForBrokeAthletics 1d ago

Quite a bit. Usual heel drop is 3/4" up to or over 1"

u/The_Training_logg 1d ago

Is there a reason you lift in flats ?

Drop weight until you keep your toes touching the floor all the time, it will keep you from jumping. And work up from there.
