The squat acts like a stretch. Strength training with full range of motion is better for mobility than stretching alone.
If you cant go to parallell then its most likely due to bad technique or freakish proportions like really long femur.

Just squat 3 times a week with weight and you will get more flexible. This applies to almost any lift.

that may be true but then again who the fuck squats 3 times a week?

>>40231341
I injured myself a few years ago (herniated disc) by following this advice.

Would like some real resources for mobility. If they exist, sticky should be updated since link is dead.

you inured your back because of bad technique. I fixed my back pain by squatting 3 times a week.

It was bad technique but it was because of a lack of flexibilty.

If you can't get into proper form in the first place how do you avoid injury?

If you look up Kelly Starett Hip mobility on yt you'll get some great stuff. I've been using the most viewed one daily and it's improved my squat form so much.

youtube how to squat. any decent fitness youtube should have a step by step guide about building to how to get into the position

usually variations of hold a door frame and squat low or put small plates under your heels and squat as low as you can

Kelly starret is a cunt and a faggot, to be honest. His advice sounds good but it's not based on truth. I would be very cautious about following his advice cause I already got hurt trying to follow it.

I don't see how, he seems like an at least alright guy. You probably pushed yourself too hard doing stretches and such

Youtube Joe Defrance limber 11, do that at home once a day (like when you're sitting on your ass watching tv or something, not hard). Honestly could probably skip the rolling stuff if you lack lacrosse/cricket ball and roller, but do the rest of it. About 5-10mins

Also youtube Yoga with Adriene 30 days of yoga. Sounds gay as fuck but honestly is legit. I'm at day 20something (NYR was work on mobility, dont hate) and hamstrings and hips are noticeably better in stretched positions. Just do it at home so you don't look like a fucking gaylord going to classes, 30 mins, but it's working wonders for me.You'll notice a lot of mobility sites/Defranco's stuff etc use movements that look like they came from yoga
