Goblet squats 100% use heel lifts; I usually use a 25lb plate in the floor. 1/2 inch to an inch.
Regular ass to grass squats will "force" some mobility in the heels, hips and hamstrings. Don't let your knees flare out on the squats. Work your way into depth by sitting in the squat position weightless until it's comfortable/tolerable.
Thank you!! I can start using that too.
I have a hard time getting low and being stable. End up feeling tippy. I know it’s just the stabilizing needing work.
I can sit in a squat alright, but I feel like that position is not what a squat should be. Maybe I’m wrong 😂
With the heels lifted sitting in the squat is elite.
I do this.
I also do one body weight squats day to failure & one weighted but nothing too heavy - always to failure.
I also do Nordic Curls & poliquin step on my stairs with my heel lifted with one of the solemates.
This helps!! Thank you!
It's an art more than a science. Everybody has slightly different anatomy / proportions so it's an individual journey.
I focus on keeping my weight in my heels. I think 70/30 heels/toes weight distribution, don't want to get over your toes too much. Bar should move within your footprint.
