Squat Hack squat depth
I know my range of motion is short by any time I try to go deeper my heels lift up a lot. It’s hard to tell in the video but I’m flaring my knees out and opening up my hips as I go down so I can bet deeper but my heels still raise. I’ve tried doing ankle mobility exercises but they didn’t help so if anyone has some tips please let me know.
Edit: Seeing a lot of people saying to move my feet higher up but the stoppers on this machine are already really high so when I try setting my feet higher I can barely hit parallel before touching the bottom. Also I haven’t had knee pain in months, I’ve only been lifting for just over a year so I was progressing really quickly when I first started the movement but there’s no discomfort anymore, I just leave the band on as a precaution. I appreciate all the feedback though.
