Is it ok for me to squat above parallel?

Is it actually hip pain or something else? I've had inner thigh pain going too wide, so I narrowed that shit up. The goal would be to adjust your feet to go below parallel...but if you can't, I guess you just can't. Find some stretches.

It's not like I can't do it. It's just very difficult and I'm afraid I'm going to hurt myself.

I'm not saying work through the pain, but adjust your feet every way imaginable before you give up. One thing that helped me was focusing on spreading my knees out as I went down...but everyone has different issues. Worst case scenario, you just don't go all the way down.

work on mobility if it feels tight, squatting down should literally feel like you're sitting between your legs, as for any other pain and anatomical limitations, we are of very little help. I suggest stretching and rolling to get more comfortable in the bottom

In my case if I don't go ass to grass my knees hurt after squatting. I get stares when I squat but IDGAF cause it feels good when I go to full depth.

How can you tell if you have long femurs?

What's supposed to be the ratio for -ibia bones to your femur?

I know that feel. It just feels almost natural. I have more of a problem to not just bounce at the bottom but it feels a lot more natural to go all the way down the to just stop arbitrarily

start doing low bar squats. lean forward, open hips up.

I know your feel, but when i did this i became big and stronk.
also SS+gomad

Just turn your feet out a bit more and lean a bit more forward

>Back always starts tilting forwards towards the end and I end up leaning forwards

Work mobility my man, going below parallel shouldn't be painful

i have 24 inch femurs at 6'4", longer than my torso

i can hit depth just fine

that being said, if you want leg development and not a big squat for its own sake (for PL or WL or something), you might want to consider other exercises
