Feb 16, 2018 at 14:53 comment added VSO x2 on "what's wrong with B" - I am utterly lost. What happened to knees don't go past ankles?

Jan 10, 2014 at 22:51 comment added BackInShapeBuddy Flexibility is one consideration. However, bony structure will also determine your positioning.

Jan 25, 2013 at 19:38 comment added Daniel One thing to remember when stretching posterior chain is that muscles don't stretch under flexion (I can find a link to a K Starr resource explaining this if necessary). So touching your toes isn't an effective stretch because your hamstrings are engaged to keep you upright. You may feel a stretch, but there is no increase in end-range mobility. Here's a good resource on ATG backsquat: weightliftingfix.com/2012/atg-backsquat (scroll down to "stretches").
Jan 25, 2013 at 19:18 comment added Luciano So, repetition of the movements did help you achieve a greater flexibility. I guess I'll keep doing them.
Jan 25, 2013 at 19:15 comment added Dave Liepmann This answer describes the flexibility work that helped my squat. It's still a work in progress. Personally I kept the weight moderately low but squatted a lot until I had something between A and B, then I just ramped up the weight.
Jan 25, 2013 at 19:13 comment added Dave Liepmann Where are you putting the bar on your shoulders? High-bar versus low-bar makes a big difference.

Jan 25, 2013 at 19:02 comment added Daniel I recommend checking out the 10 minute squat test videos: youtube.com/watch?v=46EDDftgFZI. There are also a lot of other great squat resources from K Starr if you do a search on his channel for hips/squat/ankle, etc
Jan 25, 2013 at 19:02 comment added Dave Liepmann Luciano, what's the original URL for the image? All I can see is the stack exchange/imgur URL.
Jan 25, 2013 at 18:59 comment added Luciano I don't know why it isn't embedding the picture...
