I was trying to go ATG as in calves touching hammys, basically as low as I can go, I find that easier than stopping half way down or a bit below parralell which feels like it would be a heap of pressure on the knees.

Not yet, considering it though. Current physio has me doing nerve glide/mobility exercises but after paying close attention during stretching etc I feel as though it's coming from the lower back.

been to a chiropractor?

my little brother had a back issue when he was younger, turned out his hip was out of place slightly resulting in one leg being longer then the other.

My legs are out by around 3cm every time I get trigger point :(

as low as you can go and as low as you can go with correct technique differ vastly. going ATG and compromising form isn't a good thing.

Even though you stretch etc. daily, do you feel you're making any significant progress? Maybe you need to review what you're doing if it isn't effective?

Buy starting strength or something that explains technique in depth, that way you can refer to it whenever you're in doubt to coach yourself.

I'm not sure if this will answer your question Dan, but I think these videos are worth a watch anyway. I watched them last night as I'm having an issue with my knee bending in during squats. It's a five part series called 'So you think you can squat' Here's a link to the first one

Easier to just go and see Matt again. All I need to know is if the butt should be rounding in under/tucking under naturally or whether that should be avoided.

I reckon that's a good idea.

I dont think It's natural to the squat, you're not squatting any lower, you're just pushing your arse down. That's my guess. I'll let someone in the know answer.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
