Squat Position

There are a few things you can do to optimize your squat position depending on you flexibility or femur and tibia lengths.

Those with a longer femur tend to require a slightly wider stance with knees tracking outward to maintain an upright position during a squat. Even placing plates under your heels will help the tibia position mimic the torso position. However, most people with poor squat structure would benefit from additional front squats in place of back squats.

Moral of the story? Know your body structure and work with it, not against it.
