Squats - Shorter leg

I think I have should used the picture of a hot girl. Fuck.

>>40413134
i think that probably is your best option. i assume you mean youre putting the plates under your bum leg to supplement the length right?

Yes. The difference is only in the femur actually, I was thinking about putting it under the heel to short the distance between both endings of the limiting group, the hamstring.

that seems reasonable. i would honestly talk to my doc and see what (s)he has to say, and then ignore it if they told me not to squat and just put something under my foot. that said it would have to be like, the EXACT height needed to even you out

>>40413299
I did. He recommends squats and suggested the plate inside the shoe. I really was expecting a suggestion that involves something that can be easily found in a gym.

do you not have the babby 2.5 pound plates in your gym? because if so one of those could work. how big is the gap?

I believe Klokov also has a shorter leg, so he offsets/staggers his feet slightly to compensate for this.

>klokov isnt a perfect human specimen
i feel like ive been lied to

No. The lighter one is 5 lb.
I believe it's about 2,5 cm, 1 inch.
I already use a plate of about 1 cm inside the shoe, but since the difference is only on the femur one hamstring is still much shorter than the other.

>>40413413
I thought about that, wouldn't the bar tend to go above mid-foot anyways?

>>40413437
damn the 2.5 pounders are about an inch in my gym, i really think one of them would have worked sadly.

I had a slight issue like this for a while. Would really affect my long distance running. Ankle would get sore after a few miles. Went to the PT and told her I need to get a hip readjustment. Worked wonders and felt amazing afterwards

I have the same problem OP

Right leg is an inch+ shorter than my left. I don't lift weights only calisthenics so keep that in mind. I try to train legs seperately, lunges, pistol squats, etc.

I sometimes do 2 legged exercises too though with a little bit of added weight (hold dumbbell or plate). I'll either step on something with my shorter leg, be it a pile of clothes on the floor, wearing one of my thick sole sandals, or a barbell plate just to even my hips out a bit OR I just won't do the full range of motion. I believe most of the length discrepancy in my legs are in my femurs just like you. So the length discrepancy isn't noticeable until I start to go ABOVE parallel. The higher you go the more apparent it is. Just find something to step on with your shorter leg anon. Your feet are stationary so there is no reason why you would have to put something into your shoe. Maybe in running but not squatting.

If putting a plate under your foot isn't an option, try going to your local shoe repair shop, and ask about lifting the shoes you work out in. A lift in the heel is ok, but will be putting a lot of stress on the arch of your foot, so lifting the whole shoe is more desirable.

If that turns out to be too expensive, cut up and glue some bits of dense rubber to the appropriate thickness at home, and bring it to the gym with you.
