When squatting, it looks like I misinterpreted/over-exaggerated the Starting Strength cue about breaking my lower back and knees simultaneously. As a result i have been over arching my lower back for a few years, leading to decreased mobility and an above parallel squat to avoid “butt wink”. I have been trying to fix this for some time now, but it seems like my squat mobility is not entirely there. Are there any dynamic stretches or exercises to increase squat mobility? I envy those ATG squatters that manage to keep their arch all the way This tutorial (not linking this) seems promising but I’m not sure if I’m wasting my time
Do you have a video of your squat so I can see what you mean? The video you posted actually shows the guy in significant spinal flexion. I don’t think non-specific stretching is likely to help with your issue if there is one, but there may be some options for training and warming up the squat that would be suitable. I don’t think that “squatting for 5 minutes everyday” is bad, but I don’t see it doing much for people who squat regularly either. I’d really like to see your squat to see what you’re talking about.
