Sitting in bottom of squat for "mobility"

[Jacks0n]

Hi BBM Team,

If I understand correctly, yall don't think static stretching is useful for increasing range of motion in movements like the squat, correct? That being said, would sitting in the bottom of a squat with say 135 pounds or so be useful at all? Doesn't it make sense that if I want to be able to better get into that position, spending more time in it be helpful? Or is what I described just a fancy version of static stretching? Thanks!

Yes, this is what we say all the time in this argument.
