Deep Squat Continued
The key is finding a pain-free starting level and working to increase it over time.
Eventually loading to reps of at least 100% of your bodyweight in a front squat is a worthy goal!
4. Deep Squat
This is my current favorite exercise and the KING for athletic longevity in my opinion.
Using something like the ATG slantboard to elevate the heels takes ankle mobility out of the equation and makes the squat more quad dominant.
L-Sit Continued
The truth was that my hip flexor and core muscles were too weak.
The L-Sit is can scale to almost any starting level. Work up to a 20-second isometric hold on parallettes or the floorโnot easy!
3. L-Sit
This is great for improving hip flexor strength and compression.
The first time I tried this on the floor, I thought it was impossible.
I figured my arms were too short to do it (this was very wrong!) ๐
2. ATG Split Squat
Getting strong with the split squat gave me the mobility to do a move like the pistol squat without ever training it directly.
Most people will need to start with about 12 inches of front foot elevation and work down towards the floor from there.
1. Elephant Walk
This is a simple but effective way to improve hamstring mobility.
Find something like a step or a box and push down on it with your hands. Straighten one knee as you raise the heel of the opposite leg.
I like high rep sets of 20-30 alternating on each leg.
Here's 4 kneesovertoes-style exercises I used to increase lower body strength and mobility in my 40s:

Imagine playing your favorite sport(s) in your late 40s with ZERO knee, foot, or lower back pain.
