Buttwink in ATG squats

>hamstrings may be tight

Not to threadjack, but my legs are super tight when I squat. My inner thighs just don't want to stretch and move. No problem with deads or cleans though

The best indicator is pain. If you feel GOOD before and after lifting and are getting stronger you're probably fine. If not then it could be genetic and the guy could be right or you might just need to play with your form. Can't say for sure.

You just have shit technique. That englobes whole bunch of stuff that's going on when you squat. Just practice, read up on squat execution. Rippletits has great info on it. and keep practicing. Youre most likely using lightweight so your not gonna injure yourself.

Also squatting in oly shoes helps a bunch if you have crap limb proportions or very limited mobility.

A little buttwink is fine, inevitable even. You just don't want your whole back rounding.

Don't hinges at the hip first. When going down either split at the knee first or both at the same time. I squat high bar and because of knee pain due to shit ankle mobility, I subconsciously hinged at my hip first. This give me a terrible buttwink and lower back pain. Changed into knee split and everything is fine already.

you shouldn't be doing atg, the bottom position is right below parallel

i had the same problem and static stretches(especially hamstrings) helped me immensely in a very short period of time
other than that try to keep your butt and lower back tight

I found out my femur makes up 32% of my bodies total height, so in proportion to my torso and tibia it's quite long. I switched to a wider leg stance and it let me go atg really easily now. Only problem you might face switching your foot placement up is adductor/abductor weakness until you can correct it.

It doesn't have to do with hamstrings brah, the hams aren't even contracting at the bottom of the squat, it has more to do with ankle dorsiflexion actually. Just hit up CanditoTrainingHQ on youtube or even OmarIsuf.

it also has to do with your hip bone structure. i have long femurs as well but wide stance feels like exploding hips in fact i feel better squatting with my feet right next to each other rather than wide. pushing knees out doesn't work either instead it brings a whole bunch of new problems.
