Deep squat is a well known stretching pose that allows you to work your ankles and hips flexibility. But more than a simple workout exercice, this is also a instinctive way to rest your body mostly for babies. We tend to lose this ability as we grow up, except in some countries, where this way of sitting is used for a lot of social activities.

I saw Luffy doing this a lot in One Piece and though I might learn something from it on internet, I am not disappointed.

I’m only really making this because I know people will continue reblogging that slav squat video from me and might not look more into this but here is a good article on why some people cannot Slav/Asian squat if you still have some free articles left to read from the Atlantic. 

Tl;dr in the West we stop squatting because of toilets and other cultural things and lose the flexibility in our ankles because of it. You can train it back of course, but it takes a while (and addendum, no, the Slav/Asian squat is not the same as doing squats at the gym, where you can have your legs as far out as you need to to keep feet flat on the ground. For these deep squats your feet have to be close together). Toddlers can do it with ease but depending on culture, again, they can lose that ability. And some people’s ankles are just stiff and can’t allow for a deep squat anyway, even in regions where it’s common to do so.

Can we stop telling people that the ability to deep squat isn’t at all genetic and you actually just need to stretch better or get better technique or whatever bc like

My joints will be the most flexible they’ve ever been, no discomfort in the Achilles tendons as all, no discomfort in the knees or hips, and I’ll adult the position of every single body part to maximize forward weight distribution and still roll onto my back, and it won’t even be close.

My ankles always hit a *hard limit* where I can feel bone and cartilage pressing against bone and cartilage in the fronts of my ankles wel before other people who stretch meet their limit and there is quite literally nothing I can do to make it not do that. My bones are shaped like that forever.

Maybe it was a little injury that happened as a child that went unnoticed, maybe it’s a hypermobility thing, but there is no way in hell I’m ever doing a deep squat flat-footed and the next mf who tells me I’m just not trying hard enough is getting their ass beat.
