This is how you want to squat with “longer legs”

We discuss how to determine the correct forward lean for your squat by comparing your torso and lower leg angles. We explain that different body proportions require different approaches, and we share three practical solutions: improving ankle mobility, widening your stance, or elevating your heels.

Don’t do that then😭😭

But seriously I’m always all ears but you would be surprised to what I’ve seen and heard over the years.

The Cost of Postponing Change: Why Delaying Standards Burdens Your Future Self

I discuss how telling ourselves

❌ “I’ll start Monday” or ❌ “I’ll eat better tomorrow”

creates a harmful pattern where we give our current self permission to relax while burdening our future self with the task of restarting.

This behavior teaches us that standards are negotiable and how repeatedly backing off from commitments—only to refocus later—becomes increasingly expensive in terms of time, effort, and resources.

If you’re using foam rollers or balls, a few small adjustments can make a big difference.

First, don’t spend too long on one area. Around 60 to 90 seconds per muscle group is usually enough, especially if you’re doing it yourself.

Second, the pressure should be reasonable. It’s not supposed to be painful. If you’re wincing or holding your breath, it’s too much. Your body won’t respond well to that.

And third, start more global, then get specific. Move over the whole muscle first, see where things feel restricted, and then spend a bit more time on those areas.

This kind of work is meant to help your body feel better and move better—not fight through more tension.

After 25+ years of coaching, I’ve seen that when this is done properly, it supports everything else you’re doing in training.

If you’ve been using these tools without much direction, there’s more on my page that can help you use them more effectively.
